The first film Enchanted holds a special place in my heart. It came out shortly before I wed and gained a beautiful 4 year old step daughter. That movie was a nice depiction of having a "good" step mother. The film Disenchanted now debuts with my step daughter being 18 and there has definitely being some contentious moments between us. I thought it handled the bond between the 2 beautifully, and was more a love story between mother and daughter than anything else. And while there did seem to be times they make the males characters clueless do-nothings, which I hate, this film did seem to show them to be chivalrous and helpful. The final moments made me cry because it reminded me of my step daughter and how much I love her and how strong our bond can be, even though we aren't "connected by blood".
