AICN & Fantastic Fest Present ENCHANTED

Rated PG; Director:Kevin Lima

Location: Alamo South Lamar

Ain't It Cool News and Fantastic Fest present an advance screening of ENCHANTED!

Please note: we anticipate having a number of available seats so if you would like to see ENCHANTED before everyone else, please get here early and wait in our standby line. A lot of you folks might at first glance scoff at this movie, writing it off as silly kids stuff. The first time I actually watched the trailer, however, I fell in love with this movie (please, please turn off your cynicism and watch it, it's embedded just to the right on this page). Early reports are coming back that ENCHANTED is genius; fun for kids, but amazingly fun for adults. The normally heavily-starched Disney is poking fun at itself, tearing through it's cliches and it's long legacy of schmaltzy fairy tales. Turning conventions on end, ENCHANTED delivers not only a straight ahead comfort-food-for-the-eyes storybook fantasy, but it set within the crazy construct that animated fantasy characters have ripped through a time-space portal into our world and have a really hard time fitting in. And Susan Sarandon plays an evil wicked witch who turns into a dragon that terrorizes Manhattan. I'm not sure if there is a casting agent prize at the Oscars, but someone should trump something up and deliver a statue to whoever was responsible for that.

Mark my word, this is going to be a crazy, old-fashioned romp of a good time at the Alamo. If you can't let yourself slide in and enjoy this silliness, you need to stop working so hard, let down your guard, and drink a couple pints with us (adults only please). Let's have some fun, ENCHANTED style. (Tim League, founder, Alamo Drafthouse)
