This is clearly a Lifetime type of movie "for the whole family." Lots of problems. No one hires an experienced reporter/journalist in a town that wants to keep secrets, SLR cameras with telescopic lenses don't focus themselves nor do they provide photos through mesh fencing without focusing. The movie attempts to develop a Spielberg type of kids movie, but it is all much too light, too simplistic, and overall trite. Questions too. Magic or NOT magic. Most of the film is collecting the gems which are supposed to be magic/witchcraft and then in the end, we see a magic event which is then stated in the end that there is no magic/witchcraft which means all the dreams and visions didn't exist. So which is it?

This movie is just not good It has it's moments with a few good jokes, but generally it is not a very good film. The acting was not amazing and the filmaking is not that far behind either. The music wasn't half bad actually. The villain of the movie was not good. My favourite character was probably Willow the girl who befriends our protagonist and believes she is a witch. Very little CGI was used but it was bad, (not horrible, don't get me wrong). The first part of the movie was really boring, but the second was enjoyable. The ending felt rushed to me, ( didn't enjoy that). I would not rewatch this movie, a lot of stuff that happened came out of nowhere and they repeated phrases over and over again so it became boring.

Our entire family really enjoyed this terrific adventure story. Such superb acting from two young performers, especially the girl, what a hoot she was. I expect we'll be seeing more from her in the future. This is a great story filled with twists and turns as two bright kids work together to unravel a deeply held town secret and save it from destruction. Lot's of great locations and well done visual effects make this film a real feast for the viewer. Denise Richards is as beautiful as ever as the mom and investigative journalist. This is a very well written and intelligent script, filled with a lot of laughs. We loved the dog, hilarious!
