The Sorcerer's Apprentice
It's the coolest job ever.
Balthazar Blake is a master sorcerer in modern-day Manhattan trying to defend the city from his arch-nemesis, Maxim Horvath. Balthazar can't do it alone, so he recruits Dave Stutler, a seemingly average guy who demonstrates hidden potential, as his reluctant protégé. The sorcerer gives his unwilling accomplice a crash course in the art and science of magic, and together, these unlikely partners work to stop the forces of darkness.

It's a predictable kind of magic.
Cage works well as an oblivious, too intense wizard. Molina is a fantastic villain, as usual, suave and utterly psychopathic. Kebbel is fittingly fabulous, and plays well off Molina.
Baruchel does an OK job in very predictable interpretation of the Hero's Journey. It's hard not to hear Hiccup, though. Kids are fans of his. Voice.
Palmer was picked for being disarmingly charming and devastatingly attractive. She succeeds on both fronts. But her role is not that deep either.
The usage of magic is actually pretty creative and entertaining, making up for a pretty unsurprising script.
Disney violence, no blood, no gore, although implied deaths.
A good movie to watch with the younger ones.
