Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Disenchanted (2022)

The idea of exploring what happens on the other side of "Happily Ever After" is a great one. But though Amy Adams as Giselle is still a delight, not much else works here. 

The brilliance of the original film was that a fairy tale princess remains herself even when removed from her original world. Somehow, this film forgets that formula entirely and has people from the "real" world transform when put into a different reality. What a shame.
