Suzanne in ABQ Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 I haven't seen it, but my dh took the kids to see it when I was sick a couple weeks ago. They all (including dh) thought it was wonderful. We're looking forward to acquiring the DVD, so they can show it to me. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elegantlion Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 I loved this movie. My dh wanted to see it and ds didn't. He's not in Disney princess movies, go figure. They both fell asleep and I cried, and laughed. I had some great revelation in my own life from that movie, but I won't lament about that here. Anyway, I told my boys that we were now going to go through life singing everything. Then I broke into song about sitting down at the table before dinner was cold. Oh and I want that song about cleaning, and the little critters to do it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelli in TN Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 It was cute. We took the kids and my MIL and we thought it was such a multi-layered movie that there was something for everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFSinIL Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 the bunny brought it and we all watched it. It was fun - except the dragon at the end was poorly animated and I did not like S.S.'s deliver of her cheesy lines. However, unlike most new dvds here, this one has NOT be rewatched since we got it. H'mmmm. Still - I did enjoy the initial scene of the main character being so innocent and cute in New York. Amy Adams nailed those scenes! We are watching old episodes of the Office and noticed she played Jim's girlfriend in part of season 2. Added a few hours later.....he must have known you asked about this film, as this afternoon my kids DID get it out and watched it. Now i want to live in a musical and dance around the house with birds and rodents singing and dancing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melissa in NC Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Surprisingly, I loved it. I want to make that dress she wore at the park. We are going to Disney World in May and I have threatened to make a copy of the park dress and wear it in the Magic Kingdon with mouse ears. I want my kids to die of embarassment. If anyone can find the pattern for that dress, ping me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LizzyBee Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 We really enjoyed it. Even dh liked it! Maybe it had something to do with our expectations being low. :D We were expecting it to be really stupid, but the kids wanted to see it.

Lady Katherine Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 I have to admit, though, I kind of felt sorry for Edward. He did all the princely, he-man, heroic things, and didn't get his girl. But I liked how they also gave him a happy ending. Susan Sarandon was incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harriet Vane Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 My favorite scene is the one where they all break into song at Central Park.:party: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirty ethel rackham Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 I took dd7 and her friend to see it. We thought it was darling! I didn't enjoy the overly cute animated characters, but I loved the handsome but clueless prince. He cracked me up. I also loved that it was the damsel in distress who actually saved her man.

Angela in TN Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 I packed up my 2 boys and headed to the dollar theater a few weeks ago and saw this....we all LOVED it. My boys are 8 & 5 and they both loved it. I loved the music and am wondering if there is a soundtrack for me to buy. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 My favorite scene is the one where they all break into song at Central Park.:party: I've contemplated breaking into song at Walmart before, but I doubt anyone would join in.

Dee22 Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Took my dd last year to see it and we both loved it. We just got it from Netflix and my son was not impressed :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaMere Academy Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 I really wanted to like it, but it wasn't as good as I was expecting it to be. It was cute though...but I think it could have been a bit better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in IN Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 We loved it here too! Well, my son wasn't too impressed but I did hear him laughing! The girls and I go around trying to call the critters to come and clean for us but so far it's not working. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unsinkable Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 My dd and I adore it! (We also love The Office...) I love Giselle in NY! Giselle: Now if only I can find a place to rest my head for the night. Robert Philip: What kind of place? Giselle: I don't know. Maybe a nearby meadow or a hollow tree. Robert Philip: A hollow tree? Giselle: Or a house full of dwarves. I hear they're very hospitable. Giselle: Nobody has been very nice to me. Robert: Yeah, well, welcome to New York. Giselle: Thank you. I also love the scenes that mimic scenes from other Disney movies. It's fun to spot them. And...I even bought the Giselle and Robert dolls. I say they are for dd, but really, I got 'em for me...don't tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prairiegirl Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 I liked it better than I thought I would. But I wouldn't go so far as to say that I love it. It is safe to say, though, that my girls do love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justme Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 We saw it as a family and everyone enjoyed it- even dh and ds(8). I purchased the soundtrack for my dd's for St. Nick's and the DVD for the whole family for Easter. I must admit a few of the songs from the CD ended up on MY iPod! I love the Central Park scene and the ballroom dance scene/song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
