I WATCHED THIS MOVIE FOR MY 2023 MOVIE CHALLENGE.
WEEK 40: A MOVIE WITH YOUR FAVORITE ACTRESS/
ACTOR
Description: A romantic
comedy about an Englishman (Colin Firth) brought in to help unmask a possible
swindle. Personal and professional complications ensue.
Review: Woody Allen is most often either a hit or miss for me. “Magic in the
Moonlight” falls somewhere in between.
This movie follows Stanley,
a British illusionist, who is given the task to unmask the medium Sophie. Stanley
himself is a master of deceit, since in his act he performs as an Asian man. He
seems the perfect man to pierce through Sophie’s scheme. Sophie knows from the
start Stanely is skeptic about her job, but he can also not resist her charm.
Nothing really happens in
this movie. It is for Emma Stone and Colin Firth that it works. Although they
don’t always seem to be believable as love interests. It’s a tale of opposites
attract that has been done some many times and so much better.
“Magic in the Moonlight” is
not a movie I would remember for long.
Rating: 2,5/ 5
