I loved this movie, can't believe I havent seen it before. Wonderful cast and acting. If you like a little real majick you will definitely enjoy this movie.

This is one of my favorite movies. A good combination of drama, comedy and just a little bit of cheesiness makes it very entertaining. It has a great soundtrack as well.

This film lacks the acting chops and the wicked appeal of
The Witches of Eastwick. I adore Sandra Bullock and Diane
Weist and Stockard Channing are always favorites, but
Nicole Kidman's fake looking wig, gangly white legs, and
artificial sounding American accent ruined it for me. It could
have been a great film if they had chosen someone more
appropriate for Bullock's sister in the movie. Too bad Kate
Hudson or Anne Hathaway weren't available at the time. If
you have to own it, buy it used.

This is my favorite movie and I was so happy to be able to get it at such a great price. Thanks

When I find a movie that both I and my husband like it is a rare find indeed. That's what happened with Practical Magic. Having read the book and enjoyed it immensely it was a natural for me to want the movie.

Although the movie version deviates from the book and the viewer loses much of the backstory, it is lovingly adapted and given wonderful treatment. The scenes of the young sisters living in the aunts house especially were full of detail. Costuming was wonderful (in the case of the ecentric aunts especially). Cinematography captured all of the essence of New England in various seasons and made this native New Englander a bit nostalgic.

If you've read the book keep an open mind here and you will enjoy the film immensely. While all of the actors gave solid performances I mostly enjoyed Stockard Channing's portrayal of Aunt Frances.

I think this movie could easily replace Hocus Pocus as a Halloween favorite.

I love this movie!! Being a younger sister I can identify with Gillian...
Also being the one in my family who is different( yes ,i'm a musical witch)
I know how it feels when People look down their nose at you,call you names etc
I love the "there's a little witch in all of us"line

How ever ,my only question is why isn;'t the dvd in a full screen format as well?
Hardly any movies ( whether they're on dvd , or at the theatres) are in the wide screen format...

I find it very difficult to watch the film when it's in widescreen...
because it hurts my eyes... Besides this isn't true wide screen since widescreen actually should show almost half of the picture( movie),and not 1/3 of it!!!

I love this movie, but then I'm a sucker for anything with a happy ending. And I love getting a bargin, and this CD was wonderful. It arrived very fast and was in prestine condition for being used.

Fantastic film~ great for all ages, young girls and women love this great story line of magic and love. But it's not just a chick flick, my husband enjoyed it too! Great casting, great acting, and the most awesome soundtrack, too~ especially if you love Stevie Nicks! Highly recommended.

This was a feel good movie, just fun and fantasy. The story is about the responsible sister and a wild, fun loving sister with a curse and quirky family and a New England town.
Sandra Bullock is the reason I bought it, but the entire cast was very good. The ending was probably predictable, but it was still fun and satisphying.
I loved the "How and why it was made" section.

This movie was so bad, so pointless and plotless, so corny and ridiculous, I had to warn someone, even though there are already more than 230 reviews and most of them are glowing. Anyone who gave this a 5 star review is a very peculiar person.

This movie is hart worming and magic also sad, thomes up to the writer & producer Great Movie and great actresses, I Loved this movie so I bought the DVD movie

If you've ever believed in magic or love this movie has both along with a great soundtrack.

A funny, star studded movie on witches.

Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman are perfect in it and it's nice to watch Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest (Parenthood) in costumes.

I'm only giving it 4 stars because there is a scene in it where they poke a pigeon with something sharp during a spell(they don't show it, but it's clearly implied). I don't like to watch any animal being hurt and it urked me. Sooo Hollywood! You shouldn't be hurting anybody/anything for a spell--can only bring bad karma.

Otherwise, it's an entertaining movie :)

If you like movies on witches, you may like Hocus Pocus

I had not seen it for a few years and decided to watch it again. I think I was a teenager when I first saw the move and it was still good as an adult. Nice story about the love of two sisters who are best friends and would do anything for each other.

THIS MOVIE WAS NICE AND I ENJOYED IT. THIS MOVIE CONTAINED LOVE AND MAGIC.
ALSO THIS MOVIE NEVER GET BORED. THIS MOVIE YOU MUST SEE. I WAS SATISFIED THIS MOVIE AND IT WAS FUN AND ROMANTIC. I LIKE IT.

I've watched this movie several times. Every time is just as enjoying as the first.

I have seen this movie several times and every time I finish watching it with a smile on my face.

I have always loved this movie. I had it on VHS and watched it over the years until the tape finally broke. Then I bought this DVD. Worth the time and price!

I bought Practical Magic on DVD for my mother for Christmas. It came very quickly and even before Christmas even though I ordered it about a week before the 25th. I'd definately do business again with this merchant.

This disappointing film has none of the irony and wistful quality that made Alice Hoffman's book of the same name such a - well, magical read. The film instead is ruined by a rushed, connect-the-dots script that fails utterly to capture the nuances and charm that made the book such a hit when it was published.

One reviewer characterized the film, which received mostly poor reviews, thusly: "Barbie joins a coven." To be fair to Bullock and Kidman, the "Barbies" in question, there wasn't much they could do with the awful script. That aside, the review could not be more apt. A good cast, including Aidan Quinn, an actor I greatly respect, can't redeem the bad writing that reduces the original material to cute gimmicks and a dreadful ending that not only doesn't appear in the book, but runs contrary to the book's underlying observations about the relationship between desire and wisdom.

I cannot recommend the book highly enough. I cannot recommend the movie at all.

This is a little gem of a film! While real witches might snicker a little here and there, this movie honors the Craft, while showing that even a good heart will not always protect one from abusing their powers. Ah, temptation! And more, that we might not be prepared for all that abuse unleashes! Filmed as a positive, fun romp - this is a chick flick that no female should miss. Highly recommended! Treat yourself!

A great movie... hard 2 find it in Mexico... so I ordered it by Amazon, the problem here is that it's a different Region so it doesn't have any Spanish subtitles... I can watch it... some of my friends can't!!!!!

If you are looking for a romance wrapped in a little mystery and magic then Practical Magic is for you.
Sandra Bullock, Nicole Kiiddman, Dianne Weist, and Stockard Channing deliver a fast moving whirlwind of magical happenings while Aidan Quinn tries to figure out what happened to a diabolical character from Arizona as the roses go crazy in the garden. In the end, a generational curse is lifted, a case is solved, and love rains witches from an ancestral rooftop on Halloween. If you are looking for some lighthearted fun with your homemade popcorn, this is a great choice!

This is a fun movie with alittle suspence but not too scare that my two teenage daughter can watch without getting scared. Great for the little witch in all of us.

Books are almost always better than the movies that are created from them and this is no exception. What is different is the mood. The movie is a much lighter, more whimsical version of Ms. Hoffman's best book to date, in my opinion. All in all, it's a great story and entertaining to watch even if it is a departure from the original work.

This has long been one of my favorite "feel good" movies, and when my VHS tape finally burned out, I decided to invest in a DVD. I am glad I did, as the extras are great, along with the movie. I was thrilled to find it for a reasonable cost, and the service was three times faster than I expected it to be. It was supposed to be here by the 24th of the month and it got here two weeks earlier than that. I have never been disappointed in the acting in this movie, the story is very good, and it ends well. While it is quite different from the book by Alice Hoffman, that doesn't seem to detract from it for me. However, I will say that I didn't read the book until after I had seen the movie. It might be different if I had done it the other way around.

I love this movie. Despite myself practiceing the craft and this movie being slightly wrong about some certain concepts, overall it's damn good for Hollywood. We don't kill people or bring them back from the dead, or even mess with people's lives. But the overall concept in the movie was correct. Do see this movie even if you are a Witch or not. It's awesome.

You're better off going to the library and checking out the book version of Practical Magic, a truly delightful book filled with interesting characters about love, and sisters.
This movie on the other hand is a psuedo-feminist typical dull chick flick devoid of the magic and beauty of the book it's based on.
They took all the good stuff out like the relationship between one of the characters daughters, and her trying to flee her aunts so they could lead a normal life, or the science teacher and filled it with high fructose corn syrup cornness. For the real better story, just read the book instead.

I love this movie! It gives witchcraft a great view. It's the story of two orphaned sisters who were born into a family of witches. Through the good times and bad, the magic of family, love, and yes, witchcraft prevails!

This is such a beautifully, well-written movie. You really believe Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman are sisters, and descendants of witches at that. I fell in love with their home (which by the way was not a real Victorian home but a shell). Trying to replicate the home on the Sims2Exchange but without decent blueprints, you need a wee bit of magic to create it. After viewing on TV, I had to buy the DVD. It's romantic but not mushy romantic. Any movie with Sandra Bullock in it is worth watching. She is such a versatile actress. So gather your love ones around you and prepare to be enchanted in a practical magic sort of way.

I loved this movie. Anything with magic I love. Sandra Bullock, and Nicole Kidman does an excellent job playing as two sisters who are modern day witches. It's just magical, I love it!!!!

Practical Magic is an underrated neo-classic, and should be in every witch's movie collection. With strong female characters like Sally (Sandra Bullock) and Aunt Frances (Stockard Channing), to name a few, it shows positive aspects of The Craft, especially when Sally tells Gary Hallet (Aidan Quinn) that "there is no devil in the craft." Although the magic in the movie is pure Hollywood (except for the herb gardens and celebrations, of course), it is definitely the best portrayal of witches out there in Tinseltown. It is one of my favorite movies ever, and I'm sure it'll become a classic for you, too.

This is my very favorite classic movie on witchcraft. I feel that it puts a positive spin on wicca (although it has been glamorized and fictional). I love that the romantic aspect is not overly done and mushy, and that the spiritual side is not over done to the point of scaring the children.

An old favorite, with Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman as members of a witchy family cursed in affairs of the heart. Bullock, as a non-willing practioner of the arts, gets pulled into a dark act striving to save her sister (Kidman) from her evil boyfriend (ER"s Gorin Vasnjic). Throw in some comic relief from their 2 aunts (Stockard Channing and Diane Wiest)and you have an irresistable chick flick. Something good for a girl's night in. Put the lime in the coconut for a midnight margherita.

The ultimate feel-good-about-being-a-woman chick-flick about three generations of women with magical powers. Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman are two beautiful sisters with flowing hair who are bound by a dark secret. Consumed by the intoxicating power of love, they call upon the power of womanhood to set them free.
