HILLARY M Aug 1 Too long and too much going on. Mary Steenburgen is fun though. See more William I Mar 6 Entertaining Grimm's fairy tale w/no surprises. More like light stage comedy, a/la Daniels' popular community theater here in Michigan. See more هاوزين الخياط K @Hawzeen 11/19/2024 The old coupl. Economic Gulf War See more John C 09/22/2024 This is a delightful magical movie. See more Alyssabeth B 09/12/2024 It’s a movie about a spiritual delulu who marries the first guy she sees just because he happened to come up on shore just like in a dream she had. She happens to be right about a few things when he takes her back home and everyone thinks she’s clairvoyant. She runs into a terrible, terrible, terrible psychiatrist who seems to have this neighborhood wrapped around his finger, with many, codependent problems and commitment issues. I have to say, though this is kind of the general formula for the 90s. Aside from all that I think it’s a lovely little fairytale! The soundtrack is awesome. The characters are so over the top. It’s funny and it almost seems like it’s a play. If you look at it for what it….is a fairytale film…it’s actually kind of awesome. as for the acting Demi Moore is just so young in her 20s and her accents all over the place it’s kind of cold, I’m surprised I didn’t hear more people making fun of this movie in the 90s as much as they did dances with wolves. But again part of the charm… I honestly think the best actor in this film is in fact the butcher. He was the most believable character surrounded by some, at the time, staple stars See more Blu B 08/13/2024 It's not good but it's never really boring and it does have a certain degree of charm to it that helps quite a bit. The acting, music, and cinematography is all pretty ok here. Nothing is really exceptional about it. The acting and music very much has a Hallmark style tone to it all. It's very naive at times. And to it's credit that helps. The problem here is the editing isn't good and the humor just falls flat constantly. This is like a screwball rom com mixed with a fantasy good witch type of thing. But it never can take all these side character story lines and the two romances and make them work together in a cohesive manner. And the ending just feels very anticlimatic with no real tension. Everything just feels harmless kind of. It also never really explains Moore's powers which is fine but it feels like it goes nowhere kind of and a bit lazy. Again it's not boring and has charm to it all but it just feels like stuff happens once she arrives in NYC and is very jumpy the longer it goes. I will say the best moments are Moore and Daniels together. More so Daniels makes Moore a better actress in the scenes. It's just he's not given enough to work with when he gets momentum going and it jumps around so much he ends up being just alright. Unless your a die hard Daniels fan I'd say skip this for most people. See more Read all reviews
