Critics Sentiment
Daniel and Jennifer crash Wallace and Estelle's wedding ceremony
Daniel punishes Jennifer by removing her magical powers
The film peaks with the chaotic wedding scene that reviewers found hilarious, then dips during the more serious consequences of Jennifer losing her powers.
Reviewers found this a charming fantasy comedy elevated by Veronica Lake's captivating performance and solid special effects for its time. The wedding chaos sequence was universally praised as the film's comedic highlight, while the brief runtime kept most viewers engaged despite some tonal inconsistencies. The witty dialogue and whimsical premise generally overcame concerns about March's less enthusiastic performance and occasional pacing issues.
