THE BUTCHER'S WIFE (PG-13) Demi Moore plays a golden-tressed clairvoyant from North Carolina-she's like a mermaid without fins-who marries a butcher (George Dzundza), moves to New York City, and uses her psychic powers to help bring couples together. Jeff Daniels is the fellow she falls for, an uptight psychiatrist who's always trying to rationalize everything (you know how men are). The movie, which might have been concocted by a convention of flaked-out astrologers, is like one of those woman-as-magical-sprite sitcoms from the '60s (e.g., Bewitched) sprinkled with New Age fairy dust. It's one coy, dithering, go-nowhere scene after another. F
