Love Blooms As George Lucas

Brings Us Strange Magic

In Theaters January 23rd

We all love to be loved don't we? We all want to be in love? For me it was and is what my entire life revolves around. The love of my life, my hubby of 25 years, the love for my children, family and friends keeps a smile on my face and give me a reason to wake up every morning. When I was asked to preview Strange Magic I basically ran...not walked ot the theater. Although the characters had me a little worried that the movie might be scary for my eight year old daughter I am happy to report they were just fine and some actually became quite lovable. From the mind of George Lucas (and featuring the talents of Evan Rachel Wood, Alan Cumming, and more!) comes Strange Magic-- a tale of magic, a tale of misunderstandings, and most of all, a tale of love!

Strange Magic tells the intertwining stories of several fairies, elves, goblins, and other creatures in a mystical forest divided between Darkness and Light. At the center of it are Marianne, a fairy princess who becomes jaded against love after her fiancee Roland is caught cheating, Sunny the elf, a hopeless romantic whose unrequited love for Marianne's sister Dawn dampens his otherwise cheerful demeanor, and the Bog King, ruler of the dark half of the forest. When the Sugarplum Fairy is set free and a love potion gone wrong joins all the wrong couples together, it's up to Marianne and Sunny to set things right (while learning a thing or two about love themselves along the way!)

Inspired by Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream and set to a rollicking soundtrack of popular songs from the last sixty years,Strange Magic is an ode to love like you've never seen before. From the film's opening notes (Elvis Presley's Can't Help Falling in Love With You, a personal favorite) to its big finale (a well-placed sequence featuring, among others,  Wild Thing) you'll be clapping your hands, tapping your toes and singing along as Strange Magic takes you on a wild and exciting ride! This is a definite for family fun!

You and your family will definitely love Strange Magic-- we sure did! Check it out in theaters starting today, January 23. See you at the movies! http://strangemagic-thefilm.com/#home
