woo-woo
adj.— «The movie jumbles Cooper’s occasional poor insights with something like a bad book on adolescent psychology, a worse self-help book and a thoroughly unoriginal horror story. You can see the movie reaching for importance and a kind of woo-woo seriousness.» —“Muddled ‘Poison Ivy’ implies more than it delivers” by Howie Movshovitz Denver Post (Colo.) May 29, 1992.
