Ordinary Magic

Some movies start slow in the beginning and you lose interest quite fast. Ordinary Magic kept me captivated from the get-go and reminded me of how easy it is to loose priceless memories of your home and growing up. The way Jeffery shows his compassion for his town,home and his aunt is just the beginning of what one person can do as well as making fellow residents realize large corporations will walk over you and do what is necessary to get the job done. Even if this is a movie, it does hold truth even today with Isreal and government not corporations. Every time I see Ryan Renolds I remember Ordinary Magic. (It had that much impact on me).

The is a graphic female male seen on a television main character turns on tv in kitchen. Another seen main character is righting a letter to a fiend while there is very graphic sexual moans from next room can he herd.

It was interesting to see Ryan Reynolds in his first movie role. The film won a Genie Award, Canada's version of the Oscars, for Best Adapted Screenplay. I have to say it is a very typical Canadian movie set in Paris, Ontario.

This isnt necessarily so Canadian that someone from the United States couldnt get it. I saw this movie a few years ago, and have always remembered the face of young Ryan Reynolds, who I recognized recently on "Two Guys, A Girl and Pizza Place". His ability to be a boy WITH such abilities who must be so different from him in real life (the boy knew intense yoga and meditation) was quite the feat and young Reynolds handles it quite well. Although the plot may seem a bit hokey, strong performances of Glenne Headly and Reynolds carries it off well.

This movie has the formula that many afternoons' specials use, where the displaced kid knows more than those around him.

Ganesh is a young Ryan Reynolds.

Glenne Headly plays charlotte It is the interaction between the two characters that makes the focus of the movie.

The title is the redeeming factor. The movie presses upon you the lessons of magic. That it is real and works in ways not planned. At any moment, they could have lost their house. Due to process and time, people had time to reflect on what they were doing. Therefore, magic does not have to be supernatural. Especially ordinary magic. Similar to miracles, it is not a supernatural process that is a miracle; it is that the process happens when you need it.
