Marvelous and the Black Hole is a delightful comedy about a depressed teenager and the magician who helps turn her life around. If that premise doesn’t perk you up a little, the movie isn’t for you but if you’re like me, and that description made you smile, you must see this movie. Rhea Perlman, famed star of Cheers, gets a rare leading role as the magician in this story and she has lost none of her light comic touch from when she was a television star. In fact, based on the evidence of this movie, experience has only made Perlman even more lovable.
The true star of Marvelous and the Black Hole is Miya Cech as Sammy. Sammy is struggling following the death of her mother. When we meet Sammy she’s committed some serious damage to her High School and is facing some serious potential consequences. Summer is starting and in order to keep Sammy out of trouble, her father has enrolled her in a College Business course. Sammy is required to show up every day, get a good grade, and stay out of trouble or face the horror of going to a summer work camp for wayward teens that looks like a military boot camp crossed with a prison.
