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.

Case study in how having access to one of the top studios on the planet means squat when faced with a terrible script that relies too much on stereotypes and cliches, and never gives the cast a chance to shine.

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.

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.

Hardcore "School of Rock" vibes, with Devine basically doing a full-on poor man's impression of Jack Black. It's nowhere near the inspired fun of that comedy classic, and there's not nearly enough actual, practical, impressive magic (until the final performance). Still, the fun cast of kid characters and unexpected sweetness make it a worthwhile watch for anyone with kids...my 7-year-old was OBSESSED. Again though...if it's an option, just (re-)watch the far superior School of Rock instead.
