Blessed Misfortune!

About This Movie

Blessed Misfortune! is a quirky family film that balances whimsical charm with a hint of dark humor. The creature, Mishap, adds a unique flavor, not just as a catalyst for the lumberjack's misadventures but also as a commentary on greed and desire. The pacing ebbs and flows, reflective of the lumberjack's own ups and downs, and the practical effects used to bring Mishap to life are quite inventive for its time. The performances have this almost theatrical quality, which lends itself well to the film’s offbeat tone. It’s distinctive for its blend of fairy-tale elements and cautionary storytelling, making it a curious watch for anyone interested in lesser-known family features from the late '80s.
