Reaction: Very strong numbers for Aubrey Plaza's debut film as Zatanna. It's not one of the higher grossing films in the DC Comics Universe, but it turned a solid profit thanks to a decent box office and strong home video sales.


"The film probably could have used a little more plot focus, but Aubrey Plaza was very good in the title role and there were a couple of really fun set pieces (the furniture store and the Vegas finale)." - Tony Klesko, San Diego Union-Tribune



"Aubrey Plaza was a good choice for the role, but the film suffers by not giving her enough to do or enough other characters to truly interact with." - Janet Donnelly, Empire Magazine


"Zatanna serves as a suitable introduction to the character for audiences. The pace suffers at times and the mystery of the premise loses steam, but it all still works for the most part." - Bruce Vickers, Baltimore Sun




Rated PG-13 for fantasy/supernatural violence and some language
