I have played this CD in my car as well as at home. Both my little girl and I enjoyed it so much that we played over 30 times. We like to dance with the songs and also like the classic sound track.
But the highlight of the CD is the song "So Close" performed by Jon McLaughlin. This soundtrack is simply enchanting. The movie was a funny sendup of Disney cliches, while also being a romantic story that relishes those same tried-and-true cliches.The soundtrack has all of the songs from the movie, plus all of the music."Ever Ever After" is a great song and it's sung by Carrie Underwood who possesses a truly great voice. It captures the heart of the movie with its heart-felt lyrics and beautiful melody.The message of the movie is simple, really: All of the romantic happily-ever-after stuff IS a little silly, but we love it anyway. And what's wrong with that.
If you found the music or the movie too cheesy, then you'll feel the same about the soundtrack. The title says it all. If you liked the movie and the music from the movie, then you will also like the soundtrack. Since I am a romantic at heart, I love both the movie and the music.Enchantment, the movie, is a very cute, funny, romantic and interesting twist on many well known fairy tales. Just when you think you've seen every adaptation of "rescue the princess", Disney comes up with one more and does it grand Disney style.
I don't know what I was expecting because the web page listed the songs on the CD but I didn't realize that over half are just the score. There are only five songs to sing along to. I guess I would have just bought them individually for five bucks instead of paying 12. But it's a good CD and my daughters really enjoy it.
Ok, now I think that Enchanted has a powerful instrumental soundtrack, and I admire that. Unfortunately, it can get a little too 'girly' a little too quickly, and that's where I have to draw my border between stepping into, well, non-guyish quality. I mean, I will admit.for guys, the album could go without 'Ever Ever After', and all the fluffy sung songs in the beginning, but I guess that's what made up Enchanted. As for the instrumental pieces, they were awesome.
