Product Details

Product Description

From Amazon.com

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

5.0 out of 5 stars Different from the book, but just as good, Feb 11 2009
By J. Macgillivray "Maritime Bookworm" (Moncton, NB, Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars perfect magic.....* * *, Oct 20 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: Practical Magic (VHS Tape)
the more i see this film the more i enjoy it.
it is totally magical.
i am a huge fan of alice hoffman's writing, but always apprehensive about filmed books, however, this did not disappoint. it is colourful, the actors are some of my faves,
it is light-hearted, romantic, entertaining generally and visually easy on the eye.
nicole kidman is a scream, + stockard channing particularly, makes a great, mischevious witch,
i must also mention the soundtrack, as it contains some absolutely fab songs, especially "crystal" - + I LOVE THAT HOUSE!

3.0 out of 5 stars To live and to die in strange circumstances., Jun 28 2004
This review is from: Practical Magic (VHS Tape)
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. It almost makes one belief that witchcraft is alive and well in the modern age.

The two older witches were especially good. Sandra Bullock, on the other hand, was playing a continuation of her character in HOPE FLOATS, same funky outfits and the acting just the same.

These beautiful witches had the bad luck to always kill the men they love. No matter how many potions they tried to concoct, nothing ever came out right. The little ones had no special magic, and yet their peers called them witches just the same.

The living dead had eyes like Riddick. Now, I understand where he got his strength; he was already dead. What'd he have to lose?

I enjoyed this romp, but I have always been interested in how the women in Salem and along the Eastern coast were burned as witches. Even Guinevere in Richard Harris' version of CAMELOT was 'almost' killed as a witch. Thank God, she was rescued by her Sir Lancelot to waste away in a nunnery. What a price women have to pay when they love the wrong men!

Can love travel back in time and heal a broken heart? I like to think so.
