I don't even understand how this movie was made? Like... It's not even really feel-good or anything????? Also can we get some Judith Butler up in here to act as a wrecking-ball to the propagation of gender essentialism and binarism as cemented by these movies. I mean good lord, help meeeeeeeee. Also, worst use of Joni Mitchell... ever.

Excellent acting for a story that is entirely unconvincing. Subtracting the laughable storyline, the performances are superb. Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman are marvelous. Even Aidan Quinn, who is usually annoying, was good. Full of crazy moments, silly witchcraft, enchantments, spells and ghosts. Pacing is great and lots of comic relief. Wonderful music. Entertaining and fun, but the plot and script are entirely silly and contrived.

The 90's were wild. A film like this could be given a $75m budget and it was not seen as an anomaly.

I watched this movie in an attempt to balance the playing field after watching 300: Rise of an Empire. The estrogen reaches critical mass during the lime in the coconut scene and never lets up. Be careful with this one.

Practical Magic feels like it was stitched together with scraps of other movies. The story hops from one subject to another - is it about how the curse affects their family, or realizing that your parents had their upsides, or that there isn't going to be only one True Love in your life, or being rejected by your community, or...? But the last 20 minutes actually come together; it's fun and silly and just what I'd want in a story about modern witches. If only they'd worked backward from there.
