| Practical Magic is no masterpiece, but it was one of the more enjoyable movies
of 1998. I liked the way the story had characters worth caring for, and the
film is essentially a comedy, yet, had touching, dramatic moments. more |

enchanting film about the lives and loves of a family of witches. The
film is never as magical as it needs to be, and it is harmed by some
overly simplistic solutions. more |

| It's hard not to like Practical Magic. It has a talented cast, wonderful
