“u0026quot;Strange Magicu0026quot; is a fun, entertaining musical. If you watch the film without expecting u0026quot;Hamiltonu0026quot; out of it, you would be well pleased.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAll too often, fun, childrenu0026#39;s movies fall victim to stinging reviews from jaded movie critics who expect u0026quot;Taxi Driveru0026quot; from childrenu0026#39;s fairy tales. The initial negative critical reception of u0026quot;Strange Magicu0026quot; is a perfect example of how such mismatched critical expectation can wreak havoc on a perfectly entertaining movie.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWith a colorful, over-the-top cast of characters with ticklish absurdity, and seamlessly integrated pop-rock karaoke performances, u0026quot;Strange Magicu0026quot; is an entertaining oddball sketch of the early millennial spirit wrapped into u0026quot;A Midsummer Nightu0026#39;s Dream.u0026quot; The film is a crowd pleasing cult classic in the spirit of u0026quot;Willow.u0026quot;”
