Throughout the ages Nicholas Cage has been hunting for someone he can teach the sorcerer's trade too. He's got a big problem because he's been keeping all kinds of demons in some magic prison type jars and they're ready to bust.
It's fate that when he finds the kid who grows up to be Jay Baruchel, his rival down through the age escapes. Alfred Molina is that selfsame rival and his mission is to free the greatest female sorcerer and evilest woman of all time, Morgan LeFay. When Alice Krige as Morgan busts out of her jar, the whole world is in peril.
Walt Disney's Studio revived one of their most famous titles, a Mickey Mouse cartoon that was honored back in the day called The Sorcerer's Apprentice. This film bears no resemblance to that bit of animation history, but it's still an entertaining film with the cast all performing at their very best.
My own favorite was English actor Toby Kebbell playing a David Copperfield type magician who is Molina's sidekick, but in fact merely turns out to be a useful idiot. Baruchel and Teresa Palmer as the beauty queen who is his true love make a nice couple. Besides that, this is the wish dream of every science nerd out there, to woo and win the homecoming queen. Of course what she goes through would be enough to bond her for life to Baruchel.
As for being a science nerd, magic is nice, but a little scientific knowledge helps a lot as well. In the end Cage and Baruchel learn from each other as the younger guy has a few science tricks to help defeat the bad guys.
The Sorcerer's Apprentice is not going to be ever listed as one of the great products from the Magic Kingdom, but it's an entertaining family film a good recommendation in these days.
