The Sorcerers Apprentice 5/10

Oh Nick Cage you take some of the weirdest roles. This movie is actually pretty well acted, with pretty good casting. The special effects are passable, and the only reason this movie is rated higher is because the script and story are very humdrum. Nothing all that exciting or special, but at least its not poorly written. Honestly, I actually rather enjoyed this movie and the key thing that this one has going for it is that its completely family friendly and sometimes I just enjoy seeing a movie that doesn't suck that is loaded with violence and swearing (not that i don't love movies with violence and swearing, but every now and then you wan't something different) and frankly every now and then you just want to watch some fluff where you know everything will work out all right in the end, and all the protagonists will get the girl and all the villains will get plasma bolts to the face. There isn't really much to say about this movie, it just is what it is. Somewhat bland, fairly well acted, family friendly, and decent. Given that there really aren't that many quality movies out right now I have no problems recommending this one, it just isn't going to be winning any awards and its not something that you will watch more than once. I know this is a pretty short review, but there isn't much to say about this movie really. Oh, yea, I really like Alfred Molina, so maybe that made me just a hair biased.
