Butters- I see where you are coming from.
In terms of a love sqaure. There wasn't a full story to be told from all points of view. I guess for me personally, based on how the film rotated around Robert and Giselle. I wasn't thinking too much about it. Nor the fast paced ending.

I do see where Arielle and Silver are coming from. I mean, Prince Charming fell in love with Cinderella and had absolutely no idea who she was. Eric fell in love with Ariel's voice! Lol. But yeah, I think it was the fact that Nancy and Robert's love interest dropped them and they were sort of thrown together? I mean, Giselle and Robert fell in love when they first saw each other. Are Nancy and Robert going to have the same outcome?

I like how Enchanted handled the love stories. Early on in the story, we see that Nancy is a fairy tale romantic at heart. Note her reaction to the real flowers. And again notice how she responds to Edward's introduction of Giselle. In both cases, she really loved the whole "fairy tale" notion of those gestures and actions.
With the story focusing so heavily on Robert and Giselle, there really wasn't time to also develop Edward and Nancy that much. I think they did enough to make those two characters sympathetic since they were not the villains of the story. It also helps that the audience wants them to have some sort of happy ending. And in usual Disney fashion, they get a happy ending which they deserved.

So, in relation to what Briar Rose just said, I just had a thought. At the end, we see Edward and Nancy get married. We don't, however, see Robert and Giselle get married. Are we to assume that they never actually get married? Or do we just never see their wedding? Or is it possibly to point out that everyone's version of "Happily Ever After" varies with each person?
I myself prefer to think of it as that everyone's version of "Happily Ever After" varies with each person. Which was an awesome message for a Disney movie to send, and one of the reasons I liked this movie so much.

I just double checked on the internet for any pictures of the last scene with these two. I did not see any rings on their fingers. Which leads me to believe your theory is correct. One person's idea of "Happily Ever After" can be very different then someone else's. Why not? We never saw Belle and Adam (aka the Beast) get married in Beauty and the Beast or any of it's spinoffs. People still adore that couple.

Time to save up the money. I sooooooooo want this film on Blu-ray! Watching it HD and listening to it surround sound (especially the sequences of That's How You Know and So Close) is totally worth purchasing.

Double post. Today is Enchanted's 8th anniversary! The film Disney cites as equal parody and love letter to the Golden Age of Hollywood musical fashion and traditional fairy-tale with a good dose of hip current edge. "You've been a very kind friend to me when i had none. And I would never want cause you any trouble so I'll go. I wish you every happiness."
