Tonight's Dollar Show Date Night Review is The Sorcerer's Apprentice. Valley Fair Mall still runs a bargain theater just off the food court on the east side of the mall. Weekend nights are just $2 per person and they run 8 screens to chose from. Tonight, my family went to see the Sorcerer's Apprentice starring Nicholas Cage and Alfred Molina.
This movie is your basic "hero's journey" format, where despite the script, you can be pretty sure that by the time the credits roll, the girl will be won, the day will be saved, the student will surpass the skill of the master, and the bad guys will be defeated, probably with one escaping to fight another day in the sequel. It didn't disappoint. We saw it all coming, but had a fun time as it did. My 7-year-old Sean loved it and described it as "awesome" and "impressive" with an ear-to-ear grin, before running repeatedly up and down the aisle while Steve and I sat through the credits. Heads up: stay for the end of the credits.
Steve said it was "really bad, but he had a good time." I just love almost anything with Nick Cage it and opted not to think too hard and just be entertained after a very long week of mundane now what's.
Overall, I'd say it's probably a 2.5 gold bricks, but I will probably buy it when it comes out on dvd. Enjoy your own Dollar Show Date Night with the people you love and if you have review request, please comment and let us know.
