Product Description

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

Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman do a very natural and effortless job in portraying two sisters who are trying to put things right in their life. Both were raised under two powerful guardians in the movie who influenced them in being aware of how to use magic for practical areas in life (hence the term practical magic). What both sisters want the most is true love, but they end up having to find a way around that as well because of a wish that one of the sisters made as a little girl for her dream partner. Things really get interesting when a handsome man enters their life, and he questions the sisters on a disappearance for someone that is wanted by the law. Overall, this is a very cute and entertaining movie on how practical magic plays a role in shaping a person's life and those who surround them.

Very different from the book, but I love the movie just as much. It's absolutely beautiful to look at: the house, the seaside village in which they live, Goran Visnjic, etc. I also was touched by the relationship between sisters Sally and Gillian, the storyline between Sandra Bullock and Aidan Quinn makes me feel all mushy, and I love all the witchy stuff. One of my favourite girly movies.

To live and to die in strange circumstances.
This was a fun movie, a romp through a fantasy life of three generations of witches. The house was set somewhere in Maine but the action took place in some strange places. Read more
