Am I Missing Something?

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

This is what you would expect from a Nick movie. After all it is a kids network!! Ciara Bravo gets top billing in this film as Hurricane Meg. A teen whose family has dealt with a witches curse for a hundred years or so. Her whole family is part of the curse but over the years they have adapted and learned to deal with it at least semi-successfully. When the family's house falls down for the fourth time in a year (!) they return to the town where the curse took place. Their Grandfather still lives there and they go to live with him for awhile. Here Meg learns how to break the curse. She has to find a specific coin and give it to a descendant of the witch. Turns out the boy she goes to the dance with is a descendant and so she gives him the coin. She then learns that it did not break the curse but transferred it back to the other family. She realizes that she and her family can deal with this curse a lot better than some family newly cursed. She gets the boy to give her the coin back so the curse returns to her and the family. Everything then works out as expected and things return to the status quo. She does get a new best friend and a boyfriend out of the whole thing though.

I don't really recommend this movie to anyone that hates chliches.It really doesn't suit me but it might suit kids ranging from 6-9. 10 year olds might think this is childish since at age 10 they start to mature. My question is.. Okay what I don't get is when a woman gets married to a man they get THEIR last name. So that means when the girl marries the boy she'll NO LONGER be a Murphy. Is the curse still with her or does she have a nice life?Ending:She transfers the curse to her boyfriend she gets it back the girl and boys cousin become friends. They go to a canyon vacation (with curse) and all live CURSED FOR LIFE!

Whether you like this movie depends solely on whether or not you like Ciara Bravo.First, the movie; it's a silly movie about a family (appropriately named Murphy - as in Murphy's Law everything that can go wrong will) who are cursed with bad luck. The family has managed to live with it. The father has a career as an appliance tester - he can easily cause any appliance to malfunction. The little brother is known for his devastating skateboard wipeouts and is semi- famous from youtube videos. But Ciara's character hasn't made peace with the curse, and she is determined to somehow overturn the curse. Needless to say, her attempts to overturn the curse result in a series of comical mishaps.She also has a love interest in the story which to me is kind of creepy because she's so young.But the main character is Ciara Bravo, and this movie depends on her. To me, she's very likable. In fact, I'm hoping she gets a few more major roles before she turns 20 and turns into the next LIndsay or Amanda.

This movie is a noble effort, but it makes choices or errors that are hard to overlook. One is that if the family really had a curse of bad luck, then nothing good would ever happen for them and that they wouldn't be able to really live happy lives at all. Despite that, I think the part about the dad finding errors in machines using the bad luck was really clever though, even though his bad luck should actually prevent him from doing so instead. Another is more of a criticism of a choice made by the writer, but still really matters. I know the writer was going for a moral of be who you are and staying that way will make you happy, but if the curse was created through the means of a dispute (for dumb reasons come to think of it) between the Murphys and the O'Learys/Murrays, then why not make it so that the resolution/reconciliation of that dispute by the ancestors would not just reverse the curse, but break it forever? If they'd had the coin fall into the fountain while Meg and Brett kissed and the curse be broken as a result, that would have worked so much better. Plus, the moral could have instead been that you're allowed to overcome the obstacles in life that prevent you from being happy as long as you acknowledge that you have to face them and not avoid them. Not acknowledging why that idea couldn't work in a convincing and believable way left me with a dissatisfied feeling in the end because of it. This didn't have to be a perfect movie in any way, it just needed to be more coherent. Swindle actually had much more consistent and thoughtful writing and that is what made it surprisingly good. It looks as though those who worked on Jinxed tried, but not hard enough.
