Half Magic (2018) Reviews

• Great Movie About Women Friendahips

  errinnicholas2018-12-22

  This is a beautiful movie about women being friends and supporting each other as they demand what they deserve in life. Is it cheesey? As heck. Does it pass the Bechdel Test? I'm pretty sure that it does not. But it's a movie by, about, and for women that shows it's absolutely possible to be a feminist and still be girly, want a boyfriend, and enjoy sex. We need 200 more movies like this made yesterday.

• Cute, and True, Too

  I think Heather Graham did a great job with this film, mainly because it captures the ambivalence that so many women live and cope with. Even beautiful, successful, sexy women have self-doubt and problems with men. What I found amusing and fascinating was how the so-called "consciousness raising" in this film differed from the kind I was part of in the 60's and 70's. This film shows women taking control of themselves and their lives with much more fun, flare, and flashiness. I also think Graham did a great job of weaving the stories of the three friends throughout the film. This also made the film so much about the importance of female friendships in our lives. Overall, it turned out to be much better than I thought it would. It's a film that's fun and insightful, too.

• Nice concept but poor execution

  I love a story of female empowerment and friendship and witchcraft, but this whole experience was weird. It's full of great comedy actors but they barely had a chance to shine. The dialogue was weak, music wasn't good, scenes felt disconnected and chopped together, the whole thing needed to be fleshed out a lot more. You want to root for these women but they were written like naive little girls. And it fails every Bechdel test. I really want to see quality films of and by women but we have to reach a higher caliber. Maybe the budget wasn't there. I will say I loved Stephanie Beatriz, she was very endearing. And Tom Lennon is always great.

• Very enjoyable,funny, sexy movie !!!
