Enthusiastic is when you are the one giving off or showing enjoyment, interest, or approval. Enthused is when you recieve something that makes you enthusiastic. Example: if you are watching a movie that you enjoy, then you are enthused by the movie, which makes you enthusiastic. Whenever you enjoy something, you are enthused by it, and whenever you are enthused by something, you act enthusiastic. It's alittle complicated, but I hope this helps.

@kjlwn38 Sort of, but again, enthused is when you are watching/doing something that makes you act enthusiastic, while enthusiastic is how you act when you are enthused. You could say "I was enthused by the movie.", but you couldn't say "I was enthusiastic by the movie.". However, you could say "I acted enthusiastic because of the movie.". Enthusiastic describes what you're acting like while enthused describes what you are.
