My Brother The Pig Details

Scarlett Johansson (Ghost World, The Man Who Wasn't There) has found fame since she starred in this comedy fantasy about a boy's accidental transformation into a pig. Though Johansson has the starring role, much of the focus falls on Eva Mendes, as the nanny whose magical powers bring misfortune upon the curious Nick Fuoco. It's a predictable race-against-time romp, but the Mexican setting is interesting, even though director Erik Fleming does little to dispel cultural stereotypes.
