Synopsis

Sally and Gillian Owens, born into a magical family, have mostly avoided witchcraft themselves. But when Gillian's vicious boyfriend, Jimmy Angelov, dies unexpectedly, the Owens sisters give themselves a crash course in hard magic. With policeman Gary Hallet growing suspicious, the girls struggle to resurrect Angelov -- and unwittingly inject his corpse with an evil spirit that threatens to end their family line.

Derrick Gibbons An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
Staci Frederick Blistering performances.
gavin6942 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.
Davis P Practical Magic is a 1998 comedy film starring Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock. This film is about the 2 stars trying to escape a curse set by their ancestor on any man that loves an Owens woman. The movie does have some pretty cool looking special effects, and there is very good chemistry between all the characters in the movie. Although the film's plot seems a bit jumbled and unfocused. The movie's comedy falls flat many times even though the characters are likable. At a few points I was confused as to what the movie was actually about. Dianne Wiest and Stockard Channing gave good performances as the two aunts that take in Nicole and Sandra as children after both their mother and father pass away. Like I said, the movie seems a little bit confused and some people might become bored with the movie, as I did at one point. Really the only thing I enjoyed about Practical Magic was the characters played by some of my favorite actors and actresses. 5/10
Ghaidaa Kotb This is so far My favorite movie of all time :) although its just 4 years older than me but the magic, the actresses, the story and everything makes me happy and enthusiast. I simply love it :) The magic in this story is so simple and UN-harmful its just pure and sweet. The acting of Sandra Bullock was amazing and the hair of Nickole Kidman was definitely the best in all of her movies (their clothes too) The story of Maria is good. The first time I saw this movie I was almost 14 and it got me :D ! Till now i f I'm really sad, I just try to search for this movie and Puff ! My mood is completely changed. So I recommend this movie along to potion of love or the ninth potion. I don't really remember Also the first movies of Sandra Bullock to those who want to change their mood :)
amanda-madden52 A great movie is one that covers the important things in life. Family, love, acceptance, and challenges. Practical magic covers all those things. It's a movie where you learn to accept those different from you, you learn about family, you learn about love, and you learn about magic.Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman shine as sisters, Sally and Jillian Owens. They were born into a family of witches. Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest star, as they're eccentric but loving aunts Aunt Frances and Aunt Bridget respectively. The girls are sent to live with their aunts after their parents passed away. The Owens women are under a curse, it happens when they fall in love. The man they are in love with will die. One night while watching their aunts cast a spell for a woman desperately in love, Jillian decides to take a chance on love, while Sally decides to cast a spell to protect herself. Jillian leaves home from their small Massachusetts town, while Sally stays behind with their aunts. Before Jillian leaves, they cast a promise to each other, using the blood of their hands. It's one of the most touching scenes in the movie where you can see just how strong their bond is. Sally ends up falling in love with Michael, a produce salesman in town. The curse strikes again leaving Sally a widow, and a single mom of two daughters. Jillian finds herself in a bad relationship, and one night uses their bond to call on Sally when she's in trouble. Sally shows up and accidentally kills Jillian's boyfriend by using too much magic. But in a twist, he's not really dead and haunts the sisters until their family, and town come together to stop him. A stranger rolls in to town to investigate and finds himself strangely drawn to Sally. Would she take a chance on love again? Will the curse ever be broken? The end of the movie will leave you speechless. This movie is one of the greatest movies because it covers everything. The cast shines, the set and town where they chose to film set the scene perfectly, and the beginning gives you a clear picture of how the Owen women came to be. I would recommend this movie to anyone.
