Louise Miller (Robyn Lively) is not very popular at her high school. Then she learns that she is descended from the witches of Salem and has inherited their powers.First, what is up with that little brother (Joshua John Miller)? He is a terrifying mutant and it is hard to tell exactly what he is going for with those faces and voices. Oh my. And then there is the Rob Lowe joke, which is even funnier now (2015) than it was then (1989), given Lowe's departure from fame and triumphant return.Somehow, despite losing millions of dollars at the box office, this has gone on to be a cult classic (allegedly) and there is a musical adaptation. Who is in this cult? But the musical makes sense, as there are a number of song and dance numbers that could be easily adapted. The film is not completely horrible, just somehow a bit off.

Although this movie was very cheesy, I fell in love with it. I loved how Louse Miller becomes popular after learning she's a witch on her 16th birthday. It was a hilarious movie and I love the clothes the actors wear throughout the movie. It was also very cute because she falls in love with the most popular guy at school. The songs in the movie were cheesy, but they were also very catchy. The "Top This" rap battle was the best part of the film. The cheesy "I Like Boys" scene in the girls' locker room was kind of stupid, but extremely catchy. The movie was also very fun to watch. I honestly have watched this movie over 20 times. If you love everything 80s, you've got to watch this movie!

Teen Witch might be one of the Cheesiest movies of the 80's.. From the dialogue, to the corny dance numbers, to the 80's outfits, some might think this movie is a mess. So What IMO makes it so watchable and entertaining. Two Words, one lady Robyn Lively.. Robyn Lively plays Louise Miller, a Teenager having trouble fitting in, at High School, getting the hunky High School Quarterback to notice her and coming out of her shell.. This all changes when on her 16th Birthday she discovers she has witch-like powers. The power to cast spells. The power to make a fool of her most annoying and evil teacher. To make the popular girls, look bad and yes even the power to make herself popular and get The Hunky QB to realize what he's been missing.. Teen Witch has enough plot problems and corny moments that unless the lead in the film was amazingly adorable and lit up the screen, it wasn't going to work. Luckily Robyn Lively does just that. She is lovable in every moment in this film. From the beginning when she is shy and awkward to her Ascension as the new, beautiful, most popular girl on campus, she makes this movie work. Watch Teen Witch once. Then watch it, a few more times. Trust me when i tell you Robyn will keep getting cuter every time you see it..

Never has there been a movie with so many tu-tus. Or simpering. Simper, simper, simper. Is that all "Louise" the snub-nosed unpopular frump can do? "Oh, Braaaad," she simpers mousily. From a frumpy, mousey girl she is magically transformed into a big-haired, make-up spackled Brad-humper by her magical "amulet" which she fondles constantly. No part of this movie is anything like real life. No teenagers acted like this. When Randa was having a party the same night as Louise were we to believe that all the people who were going to Randa's party would've supposedly gone to Louise's party? Why did it matter...the popular people weren't friends with her...that's real life, but not in this movie. Any why did the Millers live in a huge house but made her wear flour sacks and dowdy sweater vests to school? Was it their religion or something, to have to wear ugly sacks as a teen? The music and fashions of the 80's were only this bad in Teen Witch. How can any of you people think that this movie was touching or moving, or that any of the actors, namely Robyn Lively, had any talent at all? How can people think she was "charismatic" or had "quick wit"? She was a forgettable, creepy, pig-nosed talentless twit who kept speaking with this forced sibilant accent and being a real drip. Why did her parents make her dress so frumpily? Why did she suddenly have a closet full of tu-tus and redder hair which was suddenly curly and in a constant side pony-tail? And also the frosted lipstick and heavy blush....we are to believe that THIS is what makes a girl popular? The "I want to be the most popular girl" song is terrible. Some of the words are,"Gonna see some major changes comin' over me, gonna change my hair and makeup, soon you're gonna see." This movie is telling all shallow mousey teenagers what they want to hear...with some bigger hair, heavier make-up, and a closet full of tu-tu's you WILL be the most popular girl and everyone will applaud you when you walk into home-ec. Leave your drippy pal behind and go slobber on your Brad at an abandoned farmhouse, but not before a sleazy game of strip hide-and-seek. The answers to happiness are just a can of aqua-net away. Mousey girls: This should be YOUR GOAL as a teenager. Shallowness counts! Be shallow and remember Zelda Rubenstein loves you.
