This movie is sweet and touching and even a bit frightening at times, but that is purely at the beginning and end. The middle three vignettes in which the heroine meets the spring, summer, and autumn witches is too long, too unnecessary, and tedious and boring. The acting is fine throughout, the premise is interesting, but the middle seems like pieces out of another movie cobbled in. It breaks the flow and comes across as rather ludicrous. It is almost as if someone mistakenly stuck a couple of reels of a kids movie into the middle of an adult movie.
Overall I would suggest this as a decent girl's sleepover movie if you didn't actually expect them to watch the movie. It could be easily edited down into a good movie. It's a shame the length and content is just too over the top and destroys a fine love fantasy.
