Tangled Review...sort of...
You know that you are addicted to movie when you go to see it in cinema twice in one week. I must confess I have never done it before but with this movie, I didn't feel a slightest bit guilty about spending about 20 Euros for only 3 hours of sheer hilarity. But let us start from the beginning.
Tangled is a modern version of notoriously known story about a girl called Rapunzel which was retold many many times during the last millenium. You know, old witch locks her in a tower with just one window and no doors or stairs and there she waits until a handsome prince riding by saves her from infinite boredom by getting her pregnant (no kidding here). But this is Disney we are talking about so prepare yourselves for a wild ride...and no pregnancy.
Our new, and in my opinion in many ways much better, Rapunzel (yup, I already have her as a userpic...but only because people say we are quite similar...OK you got me, I love her, she's great...) is thoroughly accomplished young lady; she cooks, cleans, paints, reads, plays chess etc. And of course she sings (what Disney princess doesn't) with the lovely voice of Mandy Moore. But believe me, this is still nothing because she is also a skilled fencer...in a way. Well, it all depends on one thing...can you actually fence with a frying pan?
Then we have handsome thief Eugene Fitzherbert a.k.a. Flynn Rider. Honest truth from my heart, he is so much cooler deuteragonist than a prince would be that despite very predictable course of the story, you have absolutely no problem enjoying it. Everybody says that Eugene and Rapunzel are an unlikely couple and they still make a deal but for me, they were the most likely couple ever. Seriously, one look at Rapunzel and you just have to love (here I go again...) her frying pan. And Eugene is a bit of a bastard, but in a cute way so you don't mind because, here comes the smolder...
But what makes this movie the most hilarious Disney fairy tale EVER, is a pet. Well, actually two of them. Pascal is Rapunzel's pet chameleon and from the moment he appears on the screen, you just have to love him and wish all the reptiles vere so adorable and witty. Maximus, on the other hand, is a bit weird, since it's a horse that behaves as a crossover between a dog, a gestapo officer and Charlie Chaplin. Now that is something hard to achieve. Nevertheless, they are usually the reason to laugh your head off. Just so you know what you are deling with:
So, mix all this with dancing and singing pub thugs, evil Stabbington Brothers, completely mute king and queen (I really don't think that sigh can be classified as talking...), flying lanterns, looooads of hair and beautiful romance and you got Tangled. The movie that teaches you that the best weapon ever is (I know, I know, but I really can't help it) a frying pan. My rating therefore would be 9/10.
