Sleeping Beauty

This movie is just bad enough to make me stay away. I caught it on cable not too long ago, and was pulled in by the title. But the cheesy acting, blatant reuse of scenery, subplots that went nowhere, and painfully bad one-liners make this one bad movie that I'll probably not watch again. My first warning sign was that many of the crew members in the opening credits had Romanian names. I guess the budget was so tight that they had to fly all of the actors to a 3rd world Eastern European country to film. The movie takes place in the manufactured town of Pilgrimtown, MA. And how manufactured it is. Every sign in the town looks as if it were hastily made at a copy and print center and pasted over signs that were already there. AJ Cook's presence definitely lit up the screen. She doesn't deserve to be a B/C-list actress.

If it were possible to give this movie less than one star I would. Every lousy cliche' possible is in this exercise in stupidity. Acting, stinks, plot, stinks, characters, stink. Nothing in this movie is worth looking at. I've seen better acting in a middle school play from 10 year old children.

"Are You Afraid of the Dark?" called - they want their ideas back.

But seriously, if "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" and "Goosebumps" could be somehow merged to make just one single hour and a half movie, you would get Teen Sorcery. I came across this movie tonight on cable and was initially pulled in because I noticed A.J Cook (who I love) was in it. I always seem to accidentally come across Cook's movies on late night t.v out of nowhere - and man, has she ever done some of the worst of the worst. Teen Sorcery just adds to the pile along with Wishmaster 2 and Ripper (although her acting in Ripper was good enough to keep me watching).

Anyways, if your not a fan of stereotypical snobby cheerleaders, corny special effects, unrealistic witchcraft, and biotches turning into dragons, I suggest you stay clear of this movie! Includes a few "roll your eyes" laughs, but not worth it in my opinion.

The acting was poor, the storyline was also poor, but it entertained, it was fun with some very pretty young ladies to make it better, AJ Cook, as a young teenager, is very beautiful indeed . While I would normally never recommend a low budget hash up like this, it was still fun to watch and enjoyable, if you can simply ignore the flaws and watch it for purely entertainment's sake.

Definitely worth watching and having a bit of harmless fun without being too critical of the many flaws.
