Practical Magic

Pros: Good cast in fun, entertaining movie.
Cons: None for me. Not for everyone.

I have enjoyed books and movies dealing with magic or witches. In 1998, Practical Magic< b>< i>, a movie about witch sisters was released. I've seen the movie several times since then and I still enjoy it when I watch it. The women in ...

Pros: Good story of sisters who take care of each other.
Cons: May be objectionable to some on religious grounds.

The first of the Cullens family witches, Maria, was abandoned by her lover and so, in a moment of desperation, cursed any man who would ever be loved by a Cullens woman would end up dead. Well, it has been two hundred years and still the problem...

Pros: Performances all, especially Wiest,and Channing. Fun and harmless, endearing
Cons: You need a sense of fun to appreciate. Bullock's bad wardrobe at times

This movie is a story of two sisters. One wants to be normal, but isn't. The other is more normal, but wants desperately to be something else. What makes it fun is that the family has a genetic kind of nose-twitching talent, (no one actually...

Pros: Gorgeous cast of strong women; stunning soundtrack
Cons: Drunken driver screenplay that swerved all over the place

No magic in this drunken driver plot
If I weren't a sucker for a happy ending--and Epinions would let me--I would only award "Practical Magic" a fragment of a star. Still, I can only in good conscience rate it a one-twinkler...

Pros: A stellar cast pouring their hearts out in a story about the power of love.
Cons: The sanctimonious may loose the message of love and togetherness because of the word "Witch."

Practical Magic is the 1998 adaptation from the book by Alice Hoffman. Griffin Dunne directs. The Owens family are witches. From the time of the puritans, and the unsuccessful hanging of Maria, all Owens' women have been blessed and cursed; they are ...

Pros: Romantic fun with some fresh new twists
Cons: a little predictable, and you have to like fantasy AND romantic comedies

Kudo's to screenwriters Robin Swicord, Akiva Goldsman and Adam Brooks and to director Griffin Dunne for taking a mediocre novel by Alice Hoffman and converting it into an enjoyable romantic comedy. Where the book drags events out over a boring and...

Pros: Entertaining Story and Great Cast
Cons: None

Have you ever wished for something so incredible and impossible, because you never wanted it to come true? Sally Owens does and she is shocked when fate grants her wish in Practical Magic.

Main Cast
Sandra Bullock - Sally...

Pros: Moments of humor, More character than I anticipated
Cons: Predictable, Doesn't seem to know what it wants to be. No great acting.

Any time I sit down to write a review and my two first choices for review title are "Nothing to Write Home About" and "Not As Bad As I Anticipated," then I know I'm in a bind. "Practical Magic" fell into that category. It's the ultimate average...

Pros: The sister relationship, the cast.
Cons: If you are overly sensitive, like me, it will make you cry. Although that is not really a bad thing.

Practical Magic is a movie about sisters. Shocked? I bet you thought it was about witchcraft. Well, that is just a sub-plot in my opinion. I saw all the previews for this movie and I never once really knew about the sister bond in this movie....

Pros: Likeable cast, gorgeous setting, romantic theme
Cons: Not enough time given to the movie's main romance.

Hundreds of years ago, a pregnant witch was betrayed and abandoned by the man she loved and while in the throes of despair, cast a spell on herself to ensure that she would never again be that happy - after all, without happiness, one never risks...

Pros: Great plot, many themes woven into one storyline, very entertaining with a lesson, too!
Cons: Those uncomfortable with magic/witchcraft might be hesitant, but there's nothing "evil" about this movie.

Practical Magic, based on the book of the same title by Alice Walker, is one of those movies that manages to successfully mix humor, romance, and suspense with a good storyline. It's the story about two sisters, Sally (played by Sandra Bullock) and...

Pros: Some cute performances and moments.
Cons: Fails to establish a clear, convincing identity.

Akiva Goldsman. If those two words don't strike fear in the hearts of moviegoers everywhere, I don't know what will. The Lost in Space and Batman & Robin scribe is true to sloppy form with Practical Magic, a muddled mélange of...

Pros: Cute Story, Good Cast
Cons: Lacking In Certain Areas, Not A Gripping Story

Practical Magic is a decent film. It has a good story and a good cast. The movie was good but it wasn't great. It has a little bit of comedy. I'm not sure why this is considered a comedy when there was more romance and drama then there was comedy. It did...

Pros: Charming film - well directed, well acted, not that bad...
Cons: but it does border on becoming nothing more than light popcorn fare...

"Practical Magic" is an interesting film that stars two great actresses -- the always cute and pleasing presence of Sandra Bullock and the wonderful and versatile actress Nicole Kidman. Here they play sisters with a twist -- you see (as the ads have well...

Pros: Funny, Interesting, Great Date Movie
Cons: Too Short, not enough details from the book

I saw this movie at the point in my life when I was into the Mystical thing. While watching this movie I was amazed. Nicole Kidman(Gillian) and Sandra Bullock(Sally) played their parts wonderfully, and with passion. Gillian, the magical wild younger...
