Annie Hall
Despite being adorable, fashion forward and a pretty OK singer, Annie Hall possesses the powers of duplication and astral projection. That’s right. Whether she’s smoking “grass” with Alvie Singer or not, this lady can leave her body at a moment’s notice and be in two to five places at once, depending on the strength of the universe’s force field. This comes in handy when you’re falling out of love with your neurotic boyfriend and would like to be somewhere else.
The Godfather
Kay Adams Corleone sure looks prim and sweet on the outside, but secretly she hones her powers of force field generation — the ability to project powerful fields of manipulated energy. She’s tied up with a Mafioso husband and a crazy father-in-law, manipulating that negative, murderous energy and morphing Michael into a wholesome family man is her life’s mission.
Baby Boom
High-powered business lady JC Wiatt finds herself saddled with a strange baby, a boyfriend who goes MIA, and a job loss. Sucks for her, except when she discovers that she has the coveted ability to freeze time by shooting red laser beams from her eyes out to Pluto and stop the clock for as long as necessary. Once she discovers this ability, JC is able to juggle the demands of raising a child, making all that applesauce, and dealing with her new lover with grace and ease.
Something’s Gotta Give
Successful writer Erica Barry hides a secret: despite her mesmerizing powers of sexual seduction (Jack AND Keanu? Girlfriend’s got some skills) the power of healing has been passed down in her family for generations. Hence, when she has sex with unhealthy, overweight Harry Sanborn and he basically has a heart attack, Erica stealthily brings him back to life by using her magical scissors to cut off her turtleneck and revive him just as he’s flatlining. Or something.
The Family Stone
How does matriarch Sybil Stone remain so calm and cool while surrounded by her eccentric, busybody family during the holidays? She’s a shapeshifter, of course. If her son’s uptight girlfriend got on her nerves, Sybil would take a time-out by morphing into a crow and perching outside for a few minutes to get some air. Similarly, when her sons ask her to fold their laundry for the tenth time, she morphs into a Northeastern Tiger Beetle, scurries into the yard and chills for a second. Then, she returns to the family chaos rejuvenated.
