After minor roles in "Kissing Jessica Stein" and "Just a Kiss", Menzel had supporting roles in "The Tollbooth" and "Water" in 2004. Her first major role in a major film was in 2005 when she reprised her role as Maureen Johnson in the film adaptation of "Rent". She was nominated for several critics circle awards for the part. In 2007, Menzel appeared in the musical romantic comedy film "Enchanted" as Nancy Tremaine, the fiancée of Patrick Dempsey's character Robert and Giselle's (Amy Adams) romantic rival. Despite being a musical, Menzel famously does not sing in the film; a duet songwriters Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz had written for her character was ultimately not used. Menzel was offered the role without auditioning and was flattered that Disney cast her based solely on her acting abilities. Menzel explained that having her character sing "wouldn't have made sense" narrative-wise, due to Nancy belonging to the reality-based New York world as opposed to the film's more fantastical characters. She opted to portray her with vulnerability as opposed to "a typical mean girlfriend that everyone's going to hate." "Enchanted" was a critical and commercial success, but "The Hollywood Reporter"'s Kirk Honeycutt accused the film of wasting Menzel's talent, while Jim Lane of the "Sacramento News & Review" felt the actress was underused. However, "Screen Rant"'s Mel Hall found Menzel's performance compelling.
