You know those service agreements that no one ever reads, the ones where everyone scroll to the bottom and just clicks accept? The Portable Door is a cautionary tale about those agreements and the unread fine print that they may contain. What if some nefarious company has inserted into the standard legal boilerplate a promise for something important, like your soul? 

Synopsis:

Paul Carpenter (Patrick Gibson) and Sophie Pettingel (Sophie Wilde) are lowly, put-upon interns who begin working at the mysterious London firm J.W. Wells & Co. and become increasingly aware that their employers are anything but conventional. Charismatic villains Humphrey Wells (Christoph Waltz), the CEO of the company, and middle manager Dennis Tanner (Sam Neill) are disrupting the world of magic by bringing modern corporate strategy to ancient magical practices, and Paul and Sophie discover the vast corporation’s true agenda.

This Harry Potteresque bit of YA fiction is a pleasant treat on a cold winter’s night. This all-Australian production provides an inkling of what graduates of Hogwarts must likely contend with, when they have to live in the real world. The titular door is a magical device that can transport one anywhere that they wish. As an aside there is a nice montage that appears in the movie after Paul and Sophie have unlocked the doors secrets that could have doubled for the movie version of the New York Times travel section’s annual 52 Places article.
