Upside-Down Magic

I was really excited when I heard they were making a movie based on the "Upside Down Magic" book series. But, whoever produced this film obviously never read the books. There are huge changes and none of them were good decisions. They didn't even get the 5 F's right... disappointing!

I thought this movie was pretty good. I like the message of "be the best version of yourself." These kids are outcasts but in the end turn out to be better than anyone realized. I have an autistic child and this message resonated with me for him. The story and characters were cute and it kept us engaged.

I can get why they didn't make it like the book but at least make a bit similar to it, make the plot lines similar or something, i absolutely despise this movie if 2nd grade me saw this they would be so sad because of how much of a disappointment this movie is. If you like this movie what is wrong with you. Even the characters are nothing like how they were in the books, you can picture Elliot as some cool dude not some weird idiot. you can picture Andres as a nerd with no control over anything but again in the movie they make him into some perfect boy who ends up with the main character. Oh and don't get me started with all the character that were cut, All of the characters were cut except Nora Andres, Elliot and Pepper. and they turn the nice inspiring teacher into the opposite of what she was a boy who is janitor who puts the students down on their weird magic instead of putting them up.

Best friends Nory and Reina are excited to go to magic school, Sage Academy for Magical Studies. The students are divided into five classes depending on their magical abilities. Reina is a fire starter and joins the Flare class. Nory transforms into animals which means that she is supposed to join the Fluxer class. She cannot hold onto a single shape and is instead sent to Upside-Down Magic. She joins three other misfits who cannot do their abilities in a traditional way. They are expected to wear down their magic until they can return to the world as nobodies.

I actually like this Disney TV movie for kids. The message is good. The kids are good and sweet. The production is fine for a TV movie. I don't know anything about the books and I don't want to know. It's fine. It's very fine.

It's great what this book/movie is trying to teach the children of this generation. The whole mantra of this move is self acceptance and finding your own power especially for kids who might not fit in or have learning disabilities. Teaches acceptance and tolerance and Lays foundations of good morals and ethics and life skills. it gladdens me to see movies like this now a days.
