Now You See It... (2005)

ridiculous rating

Admirable film.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

I'm sorry but this movie was horrible. The acting was dismal and other than than the other guy magician, so was the magic. I am a magician so I was really excited about this movie and couldn't wait to see some magic but it was so not entertaining. Danny's magic was stupid, so was that girl's. The other contestant's magic was pretty cool I forget his name but other than that, it was not entertaining. Just think about that last "trick". That wasn't a trick at all. If a real magician tried that at a show, at best he get applause so little, he wouldn't be booed. Like I said, other than the contestant that did Harry Blackstone's floating light bulb, everyone else was horrible.

Come on, people! This movie was amazing, funny, and sweet. Aly Michalka and Johnny Pacar were amazing in their roles, and Frank Langella....he was excellent at playing an evil, power-hungry, smarmy old guy who wouldn't know the difference between friendship and relationship.Allyson Miller- the perky (almost secretive), sweet, sensitive teen with intelligent eyes and an attitude to match- wants desperately to get into a cool reality TV show as a producer. But first, she has to find a decent magician. At last, when all hope seems lost, she comes across Danny Sinclair, who at first seems to be a flop until an amazing, unexpected trick changes Allyson's mind. The only problem is, Danny doesn't seem to know how he did the trick. When they reach the Magic Mansion (hello! serious Harry Potter vibes to this building), the host (a magician), Max, greets them and seems to have a particular favoritism towards Danny, despite the other two good magicians, Zoey and Brandon. But then, the next day, during part one of the competition, Danny pulls another amazing stunt and Max gives him three out of ten! And yet, Brandon's trick is cool, but anyone who is smart knows Danny caused the trick to happen, seeing as he assisted Brandon. Then there are several more unexplained events, a plot of murder, and the worst of it is, Allyson might find herself caught in the middle of it all. She might wind up choose between her wish to be Danny's friend, and her loyalty to her first job. The dangers are very, very real- if she's friends with Danny, she could get caught in the crossfire, if she stays loyal to her job, she would have no choice but to watch Danny die. Of course, the people who have seen the movie know what she chooses. This movie is awesome, a story of friendship, trust, and magic. And the chemistry between the two main characters is great. If this movie has a sequel, I'll watch it willingly. Hopefully, there will be more romance in a sequel, but I doubt Disney would allow that. But I love this movie so much. I would really like to tape it so I can watch it over and over. So, overall, I would absolutely, totally give this movie a 10, an A+, a 100, because it's an amazing movie and it's a true story of friendship.

I loved this movie... yeah yeah its cheesy Disney stuff but sometimes its just what a person needs. It sort of put me in the same frame of mind as Casper does; which is that ill happily watch it again for no apparent reason.... The effects were Okay and the acting was Okay (especially the serious bits...and the relationship and interaction between the two main characters was awesome).... (Im just filling my 10 lines of text now so just ignore whatever it is I'm saying here, i don't get this minimum thing) ...i give this an 8 out of 10 ... -Philly

I was surprised how good this movie was. It's not the best movie I've seen but was pretty good. Some of the magic tricks could have been done a little better. Neat effects in some parts though. I would recommend this movie to anyone wondering if they should see it. Especially if they like magic. Almost of the actors gave a great performance. The main plot line is pretty far fetched in that magic is real. One way they could have greatly improved this movie was to have a few more magic tricks. The magic also doesn't have the feel of watching a performer on the street where there is no preparation. I'd say that only about half of the tricks were done right there on camera. The rest involved film tricks and such. It was a pretty good story line. If you've like the other Disney Channel shows, you'll like this one.
