Under Kelly Preston's spell, 26 April 2005
6/10
Author: brettkiser80 from north dakota

Tim Daly, of Wings fame, intervenes when he notices a gorgeous woman, Kelly Preston, being beaten by her lover. He helps Kelly, and invites her back to his place, for obvious reasons. Tim quickly finds out that there is more to Kelly than meets the eye. She is a witch, but a good one, like Sabrina and not evil like the Wizard of Oz witch.

Tim quickly gets into trouble on Kelly's account, as her coven is searching for her, and will seemingly do anything to get her back. Tim is so far under Kelly's spell, that he fails to use his better judgment, and gets into deeper trouble trying to keep Kelly hidden from her coven.

This is a solid film, but takes itself too seriously at times. Rick Rossovich, in a supporting role was excellent as always, but the main draw for this film has been the nudity supplied by Kelly Preston.

Well worth a pickup, that is if you can find it.
