Jinxed (2013)
The Murphys are a family with unending bad luck – just like in the saying! It all goes back a hundred years to a fateful evening when a witch put a curse on poor Tom Murphy. Generations later, Meg Murphy decides enough is enough and decides to find a way to break the jinx.
Ciara Bravo (Big Time Rush) plays Meg opposite Jacob Bertrand (Bubble Guppies) as her little brother and Jack Griffo (The Thundermans) as Brett, her crush who has more to do with the mystery than she might think …
Commonsense Media said Jinxed is “a pleasant comedy and some very likable themes about self-esteem and tolerating differences”.
