A modern Fast Food Fairy Tale American Style

Rating: 6/10 (2 October 2007)

This movie was well presented in the trailers, so I decided to go see it. The cast was also part of this decision, being Michelle Pfeiffer and Robert De Niro among my favorite actors. When it comes to the story however, one may think that Americans are desperately seeking for a moral recovery, for the restoration of lost values, for love, for a message of peace (the American one though, like the Pax Romana in ancient times) to the world. It seems they want to present themselves to the eyes of the world in a way which is so in contrast'to the reality which we see every day in the news. The story has nothing to say which has not yet been told. There are parts which add nothing and are more ridiculous than funny (like the brothers which become spirits after been killed and act as fans and spectators to the events). And what kind of witch is Michelle, if she is not able to solve her tasks on her own? Seems the production has no clear concept.
