Actor Griffin Dunne improves a bit on his first film as a director, Addicted to Love, with this drama-comedy about a family of witches. Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock play spell-casting sisters of different temperaments: the former is a high-living, free-spirited sort, while Bullock's character is a homebody who can't get around a family curse that kills the men in their lives. A widowed single mom, Bullock gets into a jam with an abusive Bulgarian (Goran Visnjic) and is helped out by her sibling, but the result brings a good-looking, warm, inquisitive cop (Aidan Quinn) into their lives. The film has a variety of tonal changes--cute, scary, glum--that Dunne can't always effectively juggle. But the female-centric, celebratory nature of the film (the fantasies, the sharing, the witchy bonds) is infectious, and supporting roles by Dianne Wiest and Stockard Channing as Kidman and Bullock's magical aunts are a lot of fun. --Tom Keogh

 The Perfect Fairy Tale October 24, 2008
For those girls/women out there who like a good love story with all the toppings (sorrow, happiness, suspense, family bonding and of course magical romance), this movie is for you! Great acting, well scripted lines and wonderful story that keeps you wanting more. The soundtrack is super too (I own it as well as the movie). The movie is quite magical, one that you can watch with your family over and over again...

I'm very much into the good side of witches, magic, voodoo, vampires and this sort. This movie is about good witches. Very good movie. I love Sandra Bullock. I couldn't find this movie anywhere. Thanks Amazon!

Practical MagicThis product was in great condition. I love it. Thanks. And the price and shipping were great.
My favorite movie since... jr. high, actually! September 26, 2008
Yes, I am perfectly aware that this movie strays far and away from the book (which I also happen to love). However, I think the wonderful themes were kept and the story changed enough to give this film its own magic.
I like it because it tells the tales of two very different women who happen to be sisters. I like sisterhood tales because I'm sentimental that way. And, call me a sucker, but I loved the dreamy romance. I know relatively little about Wicca and don't wish to accidentally offend anyone, but I kind of liked the witchcraft this film portrayed. It was pretty, classic, and properly spooky.
Nicole Kidman is a goddess and Sandra Bullock is as cute as they come. The rest of the cast certainly held their own.
It's cute, spooky, and gives warm fuzzies. That's good enough for me and I have proclaimed this my favorite movie for about ten years now.
