Magic Camp

We watched this movie with our kids, who are three and seven. We all really enjoyed the movie and laughed a lot. My seven-year-old was absolutely fascinated with the magic tricks! When he really liked something, he clapped like we were at a live show. It was nice to watch a non-animated, family-friendly, and not too childish movie together. There are adult elements of understanding, but it's not too heavy that the kids lose interest. I recommend this movie to anyone who wants something light, silly, and just entertaining.

We struggle to find movies that both our kids and us parents will enjoy. Saw this on Disney+ and watched just for Adem Devine. It's a cute movie and made our kids interested in magic. Jeffrey Tambor is really good. Adam Devine mimics Jack Black's "School of Rock" performance almost exactly. Worth watching though a bit formulaic and predictable.

Magic Camp (3 out of 5 stars).

Magic Camp is a fair family comedy film about a washed out magician Andy (Adam Devine) is invited to coach a group of kids who want to be magicians. While his former partner Kristina (Gillian Jacobs) is coaching a rivalry team and trying to compete on being the better magicians.

The plot is fun. It is predictable and cliche. Andy and Kristina working against each other in teaching kids. You can predict how the story will play out. Plus with a sub plot of young Theo who wants to be a magician after his father inspired him. And the only thing he has left from his father is a deck of cards.

The cast is fun and cute. It does have some fun humor from the likable Adam DeVine. Definitely worth checking out.

Ignore the troll reviews. Delightful film that I enjoyed a lot. Heartwarming moments, great cast, loved the writing and directing. I'm not a kid, but it brought back memories of all the great Disney films I enjoyed growing up. Take a chance, drop your cynical outlook and just enjoy a movie for the whole family to watch together-- something that's not so easy to find.

Typical Disney Movie isn't a bad thing when you're trying to entertain the kids for an evening. And this movie did just that! Very entertaining with a fun story and great heart. Nobody's winning any Oscars for their performance, but this one's worth the time. Fantastic music.
