A Masterpiece!
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Sometimes, in a film like A simple wish, it takes one celeb to make a movie work. That was kind of the case with Pirates of the Caribbean. It wouldn't have been the same if Christopher Walken would've played Captain Jack. I similar sort of thing goes for A simple wish. Martin Short is great, as usual. And probably couldn't have made the film better. He is mostly why I enjoyed the film. The film is kind of silly. Though it has a good cast. Kathleen Turner as the villain. And a somewhat silly performance by Amanda Plummer from Pulp fiction as her assistant. Though i'll admit it is kind of silly, it is still fun.A Simple wish:***/****
Martin Short(Muarry) was pretty funny in this film. And he always acts as if he has done magic so many times before, but always screws up. Mara Wilson was really cute in this film, just a little girl who believed in magic and the tooth fairy as we all did as children. And then Francis Capra(Charlie) is the typical older brother.Overall, I did enjoy this movie. Made me laugh a few times(like when he just sneezes so loud and acts up during the test). And then the part with Dwayne, and his shirt and the way Muarry(Martin Short) tries to stand up to him. ^-^ Yes, good family movie too, and the tiny tykes will really enjoy it.
Okay, while the plot may not be Shakespeare, its simplicity is refreshing. Martin Short is very funny, as always, and Mara Wilson is a wonderful child actress whose acting caliber could compare to many adult actors/actresses. Kathleen Turner is delicious to watch as a bad apple witch, who's bent on revenge. Her deep yet sultry voice and beautiful looks present the perfect image of a goody-goody witch gone bad. For a simple yet smart comedy, rent this film.
Very Interesting. Good story and acting. It's only down side is that it's a family movie. 4/5 stars.
