Un amour de sorcière (1997) - film review

The good witch Morgane intends that her baby does not become evil, but for this to happen she must find a mortal born on the same day who is willing to act as a godfather.  But the evil sorcerer Molok wants the child to become evil so he starts to eliminate all the possible candidates.  Morgane’s last hope is a computer whizz-kid, Michael.  Will he agree to her proposal?  How can he resist…?

Fans of Harry Potter may find some amusement in this unsavoury mix of romance, farce and witchcraft, but only if they can overlook the film’s obvious deficiencies (ham acting, trite dialogue and an unimaginably ludicrous plot). One question that should be asked: what crafty prince of the demonic arts managed to lure stars of the calibre of Jeanne Moreau, Jean Reno and Vanessa Paradis into this inane juvenile romp?
