I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Such a great kids show. Instead of the usual over-acting that plagues Disney and Nickelodeon you have great actors all around with a plot that keeps you guessing. They all have really fleshed out characters and real feeling relationships. It's moral, they learn from their mistakes, try to make things right. You just don't get a show like this for kids anymore.

It really doesn't matter how old you are; if you are not allergic to fantasy, you can enjoy "Just Add Magic". The cast is first-rate, and the writing displays a level of craft that is all too rare on American television. Episodes flow from one to another, and characters do not behave foolishly just to advance the plot. There is a strong mythology behind this tale, but, even after two seasons, there are still a good many questions left unanswered.In some ways, "Just Add Magic" reminds me of "Babylon 5", and not just by the presence of the remarkable Mira Furlan in the cast. The good guys have been known to make mistakes, the bad guys are given serious motivations for their actions, and sometimes it's difficult to be quite certain just who the good guys and bad guys are in the first place. The adult actors are especially to be commended for their commitment to telling this story, and not letting the fact that it's aimed at kids be an excuse for half-hearted performances.

Give me MORE! Can't wait for next season's Return! Great writing and super cast. You had me hooked at first episode. Next episodes more interesting than the last. Even the cinematography is superb. Nice family fun plot line, everyone can enjoy it. Hope that it does get picked up for next season...I think there should be more series like this available. Sick to death of reality TV that has nothing to do with reality anyway. When I watch TV, it's to step away from reality. This series is family friendly and just fun. Hope everyone sees this and watches so they don't cancel another good show. It's getting so there isn't enough good shows to have families watch.

Three friends stumble upon a grandmother's mysterious cookbook in the attic and get more than they bargained for via accidentally discovering some far from ordinary recipes with unexpected consequences. Highly recommended for kids aged 7-11. My daughter (age 9) absolutely loved the pilot and keeps asking me when the next episode will be. She watched it with her little sister (age 3) who also enjoyed it though not as much. This is good family entertainment with a great story, well acted with a good blend of (a little) magic and has a good lesson in there too without being preachy. You can easily leave the kids to watch this on their own without fear and is also not formulaic like a lot of shows targeted at this age group. Like the other reviewers, we tried to find out further information online about future episodes but, unfortunately, we can't find anything. Fingers crossed they will give the series a go!
