In Enchanted April four women laze about in a drafty castle talking and learning about the most personal and romantic aspects of each others' lives. Starting first as a lesson about female empowerment in the face of overbearing masculinity, Enchanted April sacrifices that message for one of "bliss by romance" in the second half. Each of the women has a somewhat unique situation at home, but the bottom line for each of them is a pervading sense of loneliness. Enchanted April can't seem to decide on the message it really wants to send and instead surrenders to a cheap candy-coated "everybody falls in love" ending. The movie started off as something groundbreaking but just couldn't commit - though the source material deserves more credit for that failure.
