The Girl on a Broomstick

Great art during the intro credits. It reminds me a bit of Tim Burton's style. The actress playing Saxana is very pretty, a natural beauty. Her outfit rocks. I like the way things look in the movie like with the sets and props. Idk there's something playful and charming about it. Same with the practical effects, simple but well done. They get creative with the ideas in this movie. The editing and special effects are surprisingly pretty smooth. The makeup can look silly and lackluster at times with some of the creatures, but it could just be a limited budget. The story/premise is flat out ridiculous, bizarre and bonkers - it doesn't really care about making sense. It's entertaining, amusing and funny - and that's what counts.

This movie kind of fulfills that fantasy of being visited by an attractive witch. It's got some pretty good comedic moments and beats to it that I wasn't expecting. I like how even though she's an attractive witch, no one treats her as such. They don't put her up on a pedestal, glorify her, sexualize her or treat her differently. She's treated as an equal like everyone else. It's almost weird in a funny way how no one makes a slight mention of her being pretty. That's crazy how they got a full grown cow into a small apartment room. I wish they treated the rabbits a little better in the movie. I lost it when they turned into popes. Overall, it was an amusing little Czech movie. I initially wanted to watch it because the main witch girl was really cute, but then was pleasantly surprised by how ridiculous, charming and funny it was. Recommended. Raw score: 7.3/10.
