Somehow after watching Ginger Snaps I saw one of the actresses (Katherine Isabelle) was in some Halloween kids movie trash and thought, "Yeah, sure, I can probably tolerate that."
Folks, the struggle was real. Somehow they roped Ben Kingsley into this toilet water. He plays a disgraced magician named Zamboni who falls into deep depression after accidentally making his wife disappear for real.
This is one of those kids movies that feels like it was made with the idea that the viewer is probably going to be playing with toys or video games or something while it's on, because it's mostly long stretches of nothing happening punctuated by scenes where kids run around screaming.
It's also one of those factory-made movies where it feels like it was made up on the spot. Yeah, sure, our protagonist team of kids just has a goat for some reason, and the local bullies decide they just need to steal it. They tie the goat to a tree, but the goat gets loose, and it just happens to wander into a graveyard, and the graveyard just so happens to be on Zamboni's property. Whatever.
A whole movie of somebody asking "And then what happened?" and whoever was writing the script had to think it up right then and there. Practically Mad Libs. Just over 90 minutes, but it feels like it's four hours long.
I'm way too old for this movie. At least Ben Kingsley seems to be having fun.
