Sammy (Miya Cech) is a troubled girl in school. She's a rebel with cause. She is struggling from her beloved mother's death and her father (Leonardo Nam) having a new girlfriend. He's threatening her with military school and sends her to community college. She is uninterested in the class. She is befriended by Sammy (Rhea Perlman), a children's magician. I like the emotional story. Sammy's age confused me for most of this movie. First, she looks like a kid and I assumed that she's a young high schooler. Next thing I know, she's smoking and attending community college in a class with a bunch of adults. Then again, the military school threat only works if she's a minor. It's all a jumbo. The movie needs to do a quick exposition. Her father can list her failings in short order and that would be enough to lay out her story. Quite frankly, her birthday surprised me a little. It would be helpful to know that her character is that young. I like the young actress and Rhea Perlman. I like the emotions of their stories.

I think someone categorized this movie's genre wrong. It's not a comedy, it's a comedy family drama. Emphasize on drama. The start was pretty slow, grim and agonizing. It's totally unlikable. So if you want to see the good parts, you're gonna have to grin and bear through that part of the movie. But it's totally worth it, cause even if it's heartbreaking at first, the ending is not. This movie is a lot like love. You can't get the good parts without going through the bad ones as well.

Ignore the negative reviews. This is well-acted and intimate coming-of-age film about a 13 year old girl's journey of love, loss and forgiveness. If you're in the mood for something slower paced but quirky, this is for you. Miya Cech and Rhea have real chemistry in their scenes together. It's a nice anecdote to the sometimes cynical age we live in!

Quite a waste calling this film predictable. Like calling James Bond films 'predictable.' The ensemble cast did a great job in this small budget film that examines one teen's grief based destructive path angst. Then, to our viewer delight we have the arrival of Rhea Perlman the 'magician' and the real star of the film Sebastian the rabbit. The look and feel of a well made low budget indie film with a big dose of feel good angst resolution!

By any of the stuff made and presented in this coming of age story about a grumpy young girl opposing all and everything due to several reasons. What surprised me though was the ever so fresh and fruitful appearances made by our cheer(-s)ful rhea perlman, this time as a magicess, learning the ever so grumpy little teeny that there are plenty more between heaven and earth than we actually see. So if you like ms perlman, then enjoy the show. The product lacks a lot on the screenplay, it feels overly directed, and the lack of budget seems like a bleeding wound, that means the lack of real good special effects that is needed to make or break in the moviemarket in 2022, really ruins its chances of making a blockbuster. Its also a small plot, that couldve been turned into something more than this, the family message are still there, but thats repeated in 100000 other snuffs made lately, so if made in the 80's it wouldve been a groundbreaker but not today thinks the grumpy old man.its too slow and generic and presents nothing new on the market.

The 2021 comedy "Marvelous and the Black Hole" from writer and director Kate Tsang was a movie that fully and wholly managed to elude my radar. And it wasn't before now in 2022, as I stumbled upon it by sheer random chance that I came to know about it. I didn't have any expectations to the movie, but I will say that the movie's cover, despite of its simplicity, had some appeal to me, and it was what drew me to initially pick up the movie. The storyline told in "Marvelous and the Black Hole", as written by Kate Tsang, was actually a good storyline in my opinion. But I do think that this is not actually a movie that will easily and overly find a base with just everyone in the audience, as it can be somewhat of an acquired taste. The acting performances in the movie were good, and it was actually nice to see Rhea Perlman on the screen. I don't think I've actually seen her on the screen since "Cheers". Now, I wasn't familiar with Miya Cech, but she really put on a memorable performance. The movie had a good cast ensemble, with mostly unfamiliar faces and names to me, and that is something I enjoy in movies. If you enjoy quirky comedies that doesn't just offer the usual run-of-the-mill-and-straight-from-the-blueprint-of-how-to-make-a-successful-comedy, then give "Marvelous and the Black Hole" a chance. I did, and I was genuinely entertained by the storyline. However, while it was a good movie, then I don't think that "Marvelous and the Black Hole" is a movie that I will ever return to watch a second time, simply because the storyline doesn't have enough layers to facilitate and support more than a single viewing. My rating of writer and director Kate Tsang's 2021 comedy "Marvelous and the Black Hole" lands on a six out of ten stars.

Forget the old showbiz adage about never working with kids or animals. For this charming little film, veteran performer Rhea Perlman forms a perfect team with rubber-faced newcomer (and future star) Miya Cech. The end result is a coming of age story that holds the attention.

Marvelous and the Black Hole is an interesting movie about grieving. It explores the mind and the heart of a teenage girl, the consequences and the conflicts created by trauma, what it's like to face a sudden tragedy. The movie has a weird style that makes it unique and keeps the story light.
