"Joshua Lightman" (Richard Benjamin) is a college professor who seems to have everything going for him which includes an attractive and loving wife named "Margaret" (Teri Garr) and an extremely rewarding career in which all kinds of good things just happen to come his way. What he doesn't fully realize is that the reason for much of this is because his wife dabbles in witchcraft and has placed multiple spells upon him which ensures his good luck at every opportunity. Unfortunately, during the course of one of these spells, he and Margaret have a disagreement and because of that she decides to revoke all of them to teach him a lesson. This, in turn, creates all kinds of trouble for him which even Margaret did not foresee. To matter matters even worse, because of his recent success, one of Margaret's friends by the name of "Susan Carey" (Kathryn Leigh Scott) becomes so concerned that Joshua's upward mobility will impact her own husband's career that she puts a curse on him to slow his progress down as well. But as bad as that is it is nothing compared to what a woman named "Vivian Cross" (Lana Turner) has in mind for the two of them. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this was a pretty good low-budget film which benefitted from the presence of two attractive actresses like Teri Garr and Kathryn Leigh Scott. That being said, however, it still suffered somewhat from its rather limited financial resources and for that reason I have rated it accordingly. Slightly above average.
