Enchanted (1998)
a noble effort

An afternoon with nothing to do left me with a search of cable to find Enchanted, a throwback of a movie that feels more like early Capra movies or Walter Mitty than the slick MTV fare we've become so used to.
The engine of the movie are the continuing fantasy parodies of such GenX pillars as Star Wars or Tom Cruise which fuse together to make an interesting commentary on the effects of pop culture on a hapless generation of dreamers and voyeurs.
Other than that, it's just fun. Plain fun in the classic '30s matinee sense of the word. The actors are capable and engaging, the directing is smooth and unpretentious, and the script tight. Worth the cozy couch time on a rainy day. Check it out.
