the movie "Enchanted"

I looked it up on a movie theater site from around here and it said it was PG for some scary images and mild inneundo

Not really sure what that means, but maybe it will help.

 

We went to see it tonight and I didn't see anything wrong with it, but my children are grown.

I thought it was wonderful, but probably scary at points.

 

SF Gate usually nails it on their reviews and suprise me every time on them!

The Christian Answers Network lets non-critics like us review the movie individually; and they review everything

I would also recommend Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium, which only sounds corney, but the movie actually uses all its special effects to tell the story! Also rearely found in theatres is that this childrens movie tackles the serious topic of death and taxes in a very good way (or so I've heard, but don't take my word for it)!

 

I saw both Enchanted and Mr. Margorium's... this past weekend. Both leave you w/a good feeling....

 

Based on the fact that there are so many suggestive scenes in the movie, I would not recommend it.

 

From kids-in-mind.com :

A woman is showering when a man walks into the room, the woman is nude but a towel moves across her in time to keep the man from seeing; she is then shown wearing nothing but the towel in several scenes (bare arms, shoulders, cleavage and bare legs are visible). We see a cubist sculpture of a nude woman (breasts and buttock are visible, but there's no evident detail). Several women wear low-cut dresses that reveal deep cleavage and bare shoulders. A man is shown wearing a robe without a shirt, his bare chest is shown, and a woman touches his chest and they almost kiss.
► A woman discovers an almost nude woman (she's wrapped in a towel) and a clothed man together, she is jealous and angry and makes a remark about leaving so the man could have "big girl time" with the partially clothed woman.
► A husband and wife kiss several times, a man and a woman kiss and hug, a man kisses a woman three times and then another man kisses her and she kisses him back, and men and women kiss in a few more scenes. A man and a woman hug in a few scenes. A woman kisses a turtle on the cheek and the turtle blushes.
► A woman and a man fall out of a bathroom door onto the floor, and she lands on top of him wearing nothing but a towel (neither is hurt and the man is fully dressed).
► A woman is shown flirting with and speaking seductively to a man several times to get him to do her bidding. A woman falls into a man's lap and they sit very close as they ride off together on horseback with her in his arms.
► A man knocks on a door, another man opens the door and smiles invitingly (implying attraction) and the first man walks away seemingly confused. A man climbs out of a well, men standing around him ask if he too is looking for a woman and he tells them that he is looking for a prince (they seem to understand that he is gay).
► A woman talks about searching for a perfect pair of lips (for a prince replica she has built) and tries different items, including a pea pod and a caterpillar.
► A man mentions that he and a woman he just met will be married in the morning. Kissing and "true love's kiss" is referred to many times throughout the movie. A girl tells a woman that she shouldn't wear too much makeup, that "boys will get the wrong idea" and that "they are only after one thing"; she then says that she doesn't know what that "thing" is. Men and women dance together at a ball. A man tells his young daughter that he is going to re-marry and she has reservations about having a "stepmother.

According to those reviews, there are many suggestive scenes throughout the movie.

 

A husband kissing a wife! Men and women dancing together!!! HEAVENS NO!!!!

Forbid our kids get the idea of normal affection in a story. I guess you'd like it better if the men danced with men. :laugh:

 

I bolded the parts that I agree with as being suggestive. The others, some parents do want to shield their children from.

I know when I was growing up, I was forbidden from watching any shows on tv that showed kissing, or even hugging.

I see no problem with a man and his wife hugging or kissing to an extent, but if it becomes evident that either is becoming too passionate, it should be between them, not for the whole world to see.

 

You wouldn't see anything wrong with it, FP. I realize that. Just as you saw nothing wrong with the movie 'Crash' when we went back and forth on that one several months back. Regardless of the cursing in practically every other sentence in that movie.

Am beginning to wonder just what movies you would be against.
