action

Evan Danielson is focused on his career as a successful chief financial officer at a company he had already worked for eight years when Johnny Whitefeather was suddenly hired as his competitor. This puts all employees under a kind of spell, which convinces everyone that Indian spells bring more than researched and calculated share prices.

Reviews

“Although the comedy dispenses with digital effects to illustrate the girl's imagination, it is also no closer to reality than conventional 'family entertainment' in dealing with its subject. Neither does he take the 'children vs. Career problem serious, Eddie Murphy's comedy can still comfort the general idle. "

“It's far from a masterpiece, but Eddie Murphy is returning to the roles he grew up with and showing that he can do more than just crack jokes in a fatsuit. In addition, with Thomas Haden Church ( Sideways ) and Martin Sheen ( Apocalypse Now ) he has a couple of real actors by his side, and not just great guys. "

“Home is the spell becomes a cinematic equivalent for an exaggerated piece of cream cake, sweet and fat and creamy; With every single bite, you feel a little more ashamed of the baker, about the nutritional values ​​and the overly one-sided sweet-fat taste. "
