Whats a soul worth anyway?
Showbiz satire meets a deliciously tasteless and almost cartoon-like presentation that will leave you bawled over in hysterics.
That is if you love a lavish and vindictive Streep.
Walt Disney
Esteban is a poor young man who falls in love with Clara a woman who boasts paranormal abilities.
Despite their differences (and the ominous red flags), the two marry and start a family.
Clara feels authentic despite the films lack of sincerity and depth the trailer so strongly aims to suggest.
The children escape, but Olaf is never far behind.
The line slips from her lips hastily with a feverish panic.
Its a manic and delicious, though small role for Streep.
Yet, despite her crazed disposition, her love for the children is evident.
What consequences do our actions hold?
What is the price of a wish?
Streep virtually gets to play two characters in one in this film.
Her gestures and vocal intonations follow suit.
Topsy boasts a vaguely Eastern European accent that is intentionally non-specific and laugh-out-loud funny.
She sings one number in the film, Turning Turtle.
Yet, when her world turns upside down, which happens every Wednesday, shes hopeless.
She cant even thread a needle.
Its a brief but fun, sing-a-long moment perfect for a family movie night this Halloween season.
