Description
Oscar -winner Ben Kingsley plays the Great Zamboni, a magician with a mysterious secret. He lives alone with his jaguar, Shadow, in the Spooky House, an old mansion rigged with magic tricks and hidden chambers. In spite of all the urban legends about the reclusive Zamboni, young orphan Max (Matt Weinberg) believes he can befriend him. His attempts to charm the magician, however, are met with stubborn resistance. As Max and his friends try to uncover the secret of Zamboni's past, they are harassed by a trio of teenage bullies who work for the town's eccentric crime queen (Oscar -winner Mercedes Ruehl). When the bullies chase the kids into the Spooky House on Halloween, a night of hilarious magic and spectacular illusions ensues. In this funny, heartwarming story, Zamboni and Max ultimately discover the power of real magic.

One of our favorites! October 27, 2008

My son loves this movie. We rented it from the video store and after renting it a half a dozen times, I checked Amazon to buy our own copy. This is a favorite and is often showed to his friends at sleep overs. It may have a few sceens that some children wouldn't like, but they are so funny that the humor out weighs anything else. My son is now 10 and we have been watching this movie since he was 6.

I saw this on Starz movie channel, I had never heard of it....but there was nothing eles on and I love Ben Kingsley & Mercedes Ruehl. What a wonderful surprise!!!!! I had to have it! My grandchildern will love it. It had childern who were loving and brave! and it had bad kids who get their's!And a Spooky guy with a big cat, who helps the kids WIN with the help of a magicical Spooky House. And a great ending.... a little sappy, but sometimes sappy is good!

Although this movie is generally for kids, my five-year-old grandson was a bit frightened by some of this movie. He was fine when I had him sit on my lap, and told him the boy in the movie was brave just like he was. His seven-year-old sister was fine with it. That said, this is a movie the family can enjoy together. I am not sure any lessons are very clear; maybe that life is more than being a hermit that doesn't like kids. Of course the little boy in the movie won over the heart of the cold-hearted, bitter magician. So the magician got his wife back and took in the orphaned boy, typical of all movies like this one. It isn't a great movie, but fun to watch with the kids.

Our family rented this movie over a year ago. We were disappointed that we could not find it for sale any where. After a year of searching, someone recommended your website. My 6 year old son was so excited when it came in the mail!!! He never thought he'd be able to watch it whenever he wanted too!!! What a great, wholesome, family movie that everyone can enjoy! Thank You so much. The Wattenburger Family, Pasco,WA

I found this one while searching for GooseBumps shows for my daughters loved those, I was pleasantly surprised how I got wrapped up in this show, it is not a 'glitzy' as GooseBumps and definatly not a "spooky" show like GooseBumps but rather a pleasant alternative. Its low buget (like GooseBumps) but I'd say more closely resembling SandLot or Never Ending Story (of which I only liked the first one). I found myself wanting to stop but couldn't, I just had to see what happened next, but then having a professional magician as a father most likely helped too.
I deffiantly recommend this for anyone looking for 'nicer' story of a different type, not high budget, not real flashy, not an 'on the edge of your seat' type of movie but just a good alround family show, with a few funny parts here and there.
But if your looking for 'Spooky', 'Scary', 'High Budget', something you would pay at a theator to see, then keep looking (but be sure to bookmark it for a later date!)
