7/10
Almost two hours' worth of Magic in Belle Isle
11 August 2013
Warning: Spoilers
'The Magic of Belle Isle' tells the story of older Kenan and Kel, a bit over a decade older. Kenan looks pretty much the same, while Kel has developed a debilitating condition where he looks fifty years older than he really is, and is forced to use a wheelchair. He's also become an alcoholic and lost his wife, making him unable to keep writing his novels.

Well, anyway, Kel moves to Belle Isle in order to watch a house over the summer, where he'll soon meet a lovely family next door and befriend one of the daughters, who'll help him get less grumpy as he teaches her how to be a writer. He'll also fall for the girls' divorcing mother, possibly getting enough inspiration to start writing in the process.

In summary, 'The Magic of Belle Isle' is a heartwarming film focused on a man who's struggled a lot in life but luckily finds enough reasons to keep living. Definitely a must-watch if you want to know how the story develops!

Starring Kenan Thompson and Kenan and Morgan Freeman as Kel.
