"Jinxed", a 90-minute comedy, follows the misadventures of Meg Murphy (Ciara Bravo, "Big Time Rush"), a 14-year-old girl whose family has been magically cursed with "Murphy's Law", a spell of never-ending bad luck. While spending the summer at her grandpa's (Jay Brazeau) house, Meg develops a friendship with a local cutie named Brett (Jack Griffo, "The Thundermans"). The possibility of romance probes Meg to discover the way to break the family's "if anything can go wrong, it will" curse. She and her daredevil little brother, Charlie (Jacob Bertrand, "Marvin Marvin"), set off on a hilarious, calamity-filled zany adventure to break the 100-year-old jinx that has caused the Murphys to become the unluckiest family ever and try to turn their family's luck around once and for all, and give Meg the normal life she's always dreamed of living. The movie also features Nickelodeon Star Burkely Duffield, who plays 'Edison Sweet' / 'Eddie Miller' in Nick's hit mystery drama series "House of Anubis", as 'Tommy'.
"Jinxed" will also give British and Irish NickHeads a glimpse of actor Jack Griffo before his brand new Nickelodeon sitcom "The Thundermans" premieres on Nick UK and Ireland in 2014!
