movie review - The Curse of Bridge Hollow
the journal of Michael Werneburg
twenty-eight years and a million words

This is a fun story about a kid who moves to a small town with her parents. She unearths something that was hidden in the attic and all hell breaks loose. It's a magic widget that she's found, y'see, and it begins to animate objects of all sizes and shapes in ever-expanding circles. Soon the girl and all her friends and family are swept up in a fight to save their town. Like one of those Goosebumps movies but with giant spiders.
It was cute, if somewhat non-challenging viewing. The mother does little other than produce appalling cooking. The father (Marlon Wayans) has much more of a presence, but his role is mostly being Marlon Wayans.
Recommended. For 'movie night'.
