Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Dreadfully Boring

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

The wry, comic romantic tale follows the Owens sisters, Sally and Gillian, as they struggle to use their hereditary gift for practical magic to overcome the obstacles in discovering true love.I have to give this film a 6 rather than a 7 or 8, because it seems like it was trying to go in different directions, which made it never strong enough as any one genre. It could be fantasy, but it's not. It could be PG-13 horror, but it's not. It could be romantic comedy, but it's not. There should have been something more here than what we got.What is interesting is the inclusion of music from Stevie Nicks, the "White Witch". This makes me think the film had to be a strong influence on the writers of "American Horror Story". The hereditary witches, the mixing of potions, bringing the dead back... and Stevie Nicks. This can't just be written off as generic witch stuff.

This film is completely crap. There is virtually no story and the parts there are a story it is completely unbelievable. For example, why would you cast a spell on a guy you killed because he tried to kill you to bring him back to life?Indeed a lot of the plot revolves around the misuse of magical spells and two dumb sisters who don't know what the hell they are doing. Stockard Channing is actually really funny in this film but she doesn't play a big enough role to raise this film rating. I would urge everyone to not buy this film as it is utter garbage and a complete waste of money to buy it on DVD. Indeed the only satisfaction I got from this film was when it ended and I then resold it for a fiver.

SO this was on ITV 2 last night and I was switching back and forth as I wanted to watch Little Fockers too so I decided to check out Practical Magic because I didn't see this movie since I was a kid.The movie is about two witches played by my all time favourite actress Sandra Bullock and Moulin Rouge actress Nicole Kidman who's ancestor cast a spell so that if they ever fall in love with a man he will die as this black beetle shows up. SO Bullock marries and has two kids and has a loving husband,but when Bullock(Sally) saw the black beetle she freaks out and gets a premonition that her husband has died as he got ran over by a lorry. Meanwhile her sister Gillian(Kidman)is in love with a bad boy who turns out to be a alcoholic and she poisons him with sleeping pills crushed. He dies too only to control Gillian's body. Will Sally save her sister against the evil spirit of her sister's evil boyfriend??Overall if you love witches and if you are a fan of Bullock or Kidman than check it out. Not too bad but not the best film I have ever seen.Keep an eye out for Stockard Channing who plays a witch in this movie and irish actor Aidan Quinn as Bullocks new love interest. Channing btw was in Grease as the pink lady chick from the pink lady squad.

Bullock and Kidman are very good as the central characters, very believable as different-but-bonded sisters. Kidman is a little too flaky at times to be a fully credible witch, but this characterization runs well enough in context. Channing (whom I rarely enjoy) and Wiest are excellent in major supporting roles, outdone only by Webb and Wood (Sally's daughters) who show their abilities by *not* overacting their potentially cutesy roles. Instead, they do a great job in stating variations on their mother and Aunt Gilly.Overall, I think most aspects of direction and production could have used one more iteration of quality improvement. Still, the movie is quite enjoyable, and worth watching again some time.
