DVD 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


Customer Reviews

Practical Magic lots of fun!

If you are looking for a romance wrapped in a little mystery and magic then Practical Magic is for you.
Sandra Bullock, Nicole Kiiddman, Dianne Weist, and Stockard Channing deliver a fast moving whirlwind of magical happenings while Aidan Quinn tries to figure out what happened to a diabolical character from Arizona as the roses go crazy in the garden. In the end, a generational curse is lifted, a case is solved, and love rains witches from an ancestral rooftop on Halloween. If you are looking for some lighthearted fun with your homemade popcorn, this is a great choice!


Good Movie - Love Sandra Bullock

This is a fun movie with alittle suspence but not too scare that my two teenage daughter can watch without getting scared. Great for the little witch in all of us.


Film Adaptation of Alice Hoffman's Best

Books are almost always better than the movies that are created from them and this is no exception. What is different is the mood. The movie is a much lighter, more whimsical version of Ms. Hoffman's best book to date, in my opinion. All in all, it's a great story and entertaining to watch even if it is a departure from the original work.
