Oz the Sad and Pathetic

If you have any love of "The Wizard of Oz" or "Wicked"... skip this movie. Or watch it knowing that it will not meet your expectations.

Basically the wizard is a womanizing jerk and goes to Oz... and is a womanizing jerk. The story line is so crazy predictable it's painful.

The tearful scenes make me want to gag, and the scary scenes make me want to laugh. I wish I knew exactly what set this movie on the wrong path. I think the casting was excellent... the acting was there... I think it was a case of a poorly written script. I don't know... I wouldn't think it would have been that bad since the other parts were there... but the plot was horrible.

It makes me sad. Hopefully there will be better movies if they make them of the rest of the Gregory Maguire series.

Best Line: "Bubbles are for show"

Cross reference likeability: if you liked Stardust, you might like this movie (however, I liked Stardust better)
