The lyrics, the music, the costumes... It is so bad and cringey I could barely get through the first 12 minutes of it, and decided not to stick it out for 75 more.

Diana is nothing more than a clueless ditz, Charles an oblivious snob and the Queen an emotionless drill sergeant. Nothing likable or even remotely enjoyable about any of the characters, not even Diana. Lyrics and dialogue written from a meta point of view, like everyone knows how this ends and does what they do anyway. No emotion, no depth, no motivation to any of the characters.

This is cringey even for old school Broadway lovers.

Let me tell you this first; I watched the movie twice in the last 24 hours, that's how much I liked it. Now, the reason that I like it: the movie portrays the lives of real people. Girls, come on, get real, don't tell me you have never ever lied to a friend about a guy they liked and you knew right off the bat that he didn't. Guys, we know that you're so scared by everything about relationships: the commitment, opening up to someone with your heart at stake and the biggest of all, the break-up. O.K. it's not a big part of the movie and no one really breaks up with someone face to face but to quote Carrie Bradshaw "Have the guts and the courtesy to tell a woman, to her face, that you no longer want to see her". And this one is for all of you out there: Do NOT get involved with a married person. You know that you're going to get your heart broken, so why do it? And no, it's not complicated, it's not different and it's not special, the person you're having a relationship with has taken a vow to stand by, love and cherish someone else. Their vow also includes being loyal to one another but guess what, they're cheating on their spouse with you! Now even if that person divorces and marries you, how do you think that the same thing won't happen to you? How can you be sure that they will keep their vow the second time around? How will you know that they are not just another cheater? Let's face the truth, we all need to get a grip and stop playing childish games with one another, doesn't matter if you got a pee-pee or a vajayjay. This is what this movie gets across wonderfully- even though some might find it hard to face the hard cold truth.

"Sihirli Annem" means "My Magical Mom". The lead role is Betüs;. She is a fairy and so is her mother Dudu and 2 minutes older twin sister Eda. Betüs; and Eda's dad Taci has been transformed into a dog by Dudu out of jealousy. Çilek is the adopted fairy child of Betüs; and her mortal husband Sadik. Sadik has two mortal children from his former marriage; Cem and Ceren. Cem and Ceren's mom is dead for a long time. Perihan is an old friend of Dudu's and she is also the head fairy. Avni and Suzan are Betüs and Sadik's mortal neighbors. Avni has noticed that Betüs and her family are fairies but he doesn't have any proof and anytime he gets one they get rid of it, the only way he can prove that they're fairies is by making another mortal see them perform magic with their own eyes and the mortal he's trying to show is his wife. During that Dudu wants Betüs to separate from Sadik and come home with Çilek. She tries several spells to make that happen. At the end they always fail and Betüs keeps on with her life. The story resembles in many ways the 60's TV show "Bewitched".
