Move over Harry Potter... The Girl on the Broomstick starts in a school for witches, in a world of monsters, where spells are cast with Potterian phrases, but our very cute teenage witch is terrible at memorizing them and is always getting into trouble. She flees to the human world where high school isn't any easier, but many shenanigans ensue after the class truants abuse her magic skills. This Czech family film feels like those high concept fantasy comedies of the 1960s (despite the 1972 release), something like Bewitched: The School Years, and it's charming as all get-out. The "monsters" are fun to look at, there are some amusing magical gags throughout (the effects stand up), and the situations get more and more ridiculous as time goes on. Petra Černocká isn't the most emotive of leads, but she's pleasing on the eye with her giant copper curls, and she's well attended by a cast game for anything. Good, silly fun. 1 month 2 weeks ago -
