Sally and Gillian Owens, born into a magical family, have mostly avoided witchcraft themselves.

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.

Nicole Kidman is the most beautiful red head ever, I ain't Nicole Kidding. I feel love for her.Sandra Bullock is the best looking brunette head I've ever seen, and that's no Sandy Bull. I love her more than life.I love Sandra Bullock. I love Nicole Kidman. They are with me forever and always. (especially Sandra, even when I'm not seeing her)

It's hard to put my finger on exactly what went wrong with this movie. Many critics said things like "it doesn't know what it wants to be" or "it is mixing genres". I don't really see anything wrong with mixing genres. It can make a film more original and less formulaic. It just seemed that most of the cast just lacked chemistry with one another. This is odd because these are very talented actors. Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock just didn't ring true in their roles as sisters. Neither did Aiden Quinn or Goran Visnjic. The real chemistry was with the older sisters, the crazy aunts, played very well by Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest. In spite of some good stuff, it did not coalesce into a good movie.

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.

Fun movie surprising and funny it's I can say scary. I like it good graphic for 1998. Any way I want to say Thanks for movie I have good time :) This is an idea I had ages ago and have been tinkering with on and off for quite a while - basically a website which shows you a series of options, and you choose the "best" one. Sometimes they'll make sense against each other (IMDb, Microsoft or Google) other times they won't.(The Beatles or Back to the Future), but the end result should be a) a list of the best to worst things ever, and b) a bit of a laugh. It's still a work in progress, but please visit http://www.warlockbook.com cast some votes, submit new options, and let me know any thoughts you have on how to improve it Practical Magic. Thanks!
