...England town, while Gillian looks for love in all the wrong places. The familial curse is that a man who loves one of the Owens' witches will meet an untimely death, as Gillian's abusive boyfriend does at the hands of Bullock. Right. Now, it never promises to be Citizen Kane, and it provides some good laughs and a feel-good finale. If you want a braincandy slumber party movie, rent Practical Magic, by all means.

...after eating too much candy. The sight of Bullock and Kidman in a semi-lesbian erotic scene may arouse some, but eventually, it is just one more cheap trick to keep us in our seats. To give the flick a little credit, it never promises to be Citizen Kane, and it provides some good laughs and a feelgood finale. If you want a brain-candy slumber party movie, rent Practical Magic, by all means. Just don't expect it to work any magic...
