Negative Positive
Title: Another misstep from Sandra Bullock.
Review: Someone needs to tell Sandra that not all good movies are romantic comedies. This one adds a bit of a twist, but basically it's just a by-the-numbers jilted lovers movie. The witchcraft aspect is enticing, but they do not go nearly into the depth with this one as they did with "The Craft." "Practical Magic" is a hackneyed concept rehashed once again, simply a star vehicle for Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman. We can't really blame them though. Whenever they try to make something else they walk away with "Speed 2," "The Net" or "The Peacemaker." "Practical Magic" is nearly unforgiveable, albeit with an OK ending involving raising the evil dead. It doesn't save this. The only reason this movie was made was thanks to the incomprehensible success of ABC's insipid "Sabrina the Teen-Age Witch." For a more interesting witch movie, check out "The Craft." As far as relationship movies go, just stop watching movies for cinema's sake. They're getting extremely old.
