The Sorcerer's Apprentice (out Sep 9) is a family-orientated action flick about a 19 y/o with magical powers who must defeat an evil sorcerer. I couldn't get into this. It's a weak plot. There are just too many "convenient" tricks that the good magicians use to get out of tough situations. Further, Jay Baruchel irritated the living hell of me with his voice and mannerisms. Grade: C+.
