There are lots of girls and women in this movie, which is good. Most of the women, however, are caretakers of children or mothers, which isn’t great.

This desperately terrible children’s fantasy is an unpleasant mishmash of dated slapstick, unwittingly sinister adventure, and icky magic.

There are movies that treat women as if they’re trophies for men. And then there’s this movie, in which a woman is an actual trophy awarded to a man.
