Sisters Sally Owens (Sandra Bullock) and Gillian Owens (Nicole Kidman) have a special bond with each other despite being different in personality and outlook. Having grown up with their spinster Aunt Frances (Stockard Channing) and Aunt Jet (Dianne Wiest) in the long time Owens family house on an island off the coast of Massachusetts following the death of their father and then their mother, they are the latest in a long line of witches. Rumors of the Owens women being witches have existed for generations in the small close-minded town in which they live, despite there being no hard evidence. The Owens women are also under a curse that any man with who they fall in love is doomed. With this experience, extroverted Gillian decides to leave the island to live life to the fullest, in the process, falling for Jimmy Angelov (Goran Visnjic), a Bulgarian who grew up near Transylvania. More introspective Sally, who has sworn off the use of magic except in its most practical sense, has taken measures not to fall in love because of the curse, but ends up falling for and marrying Michael (Mark Feuerstein), a local merchant, the two who end up having two daughters of their own. The curse works its way into Gillian's and Sally's lives in different ways. The outcomes of the curse on their collective lives become more complicated with the arrival into town of Tuscon Police Detective Gary Hallet (Aidan Quinn), whose arrival is not by accident and involves more than just his stated professional purpose.

A Charming and Heartfelt Blend of Magic and Family
Practical Magic is a delightful blend of fantasy, family drama, and romance. The film follows two sisters, played by Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman, who come from a family of witches and are cursed in love. The plot is both whimsical and heartfelt, as the sisters navigate their magical inheritance, the struggles of growing up, and the challenge of breaking the family curse. What makes Practical Magic so enjoyable is its mix of lighthearted humor and more serious themes of family bonds, loss, and self-empowerment. The chemistry between Bullock and Kidman is fantastic, and their performances carry the movie, making it easy to get invested in their journey. The supporting cast also adds charm, especially the aunts played by Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest, whose quirky, magical personalities add extra fun to the story. Visually, the film is beautifully shot with a moody, atmospheric vibe that perfectly matches the magical elements. The soundtrack is also a standout, with a mix of 90s hits and more soulful tracks that complement the tone of the film. While Practical Magic isn't a groundbreaking movie, it’s undeniably charming and has a warm, nostalgic feel to it. It’s the kind of film that’s perfect for a cozy night in, offering a comforting mix of magic, romance, and family drama.

Such fun!
One of my favorite movies. Recently had surgery and couldn’t find my dvd so rented on Amazon video. Price was appropriate. All the actors are some of my favorite talents to watch. If you need a light hearted fun way to distract from aches and pains this is a fun movie to watch. Just wish I could have a midnight margarita too! 😁

funny and entertaining
This movie not only has 2 very talented female actors Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock, but this movie is not so much about the workings of doing magic, it has plenty of magic in it, but ths movie more shows the harm that magic can do and the long term affects one spell you cast can do. If you're looking for a movie that might help you learn how to do magic or how it's done, then this is not the movie, it shows very little about actually the full set-up of using spells, but it is very funny and also has its sad moments. Bullock and Kidman are sisters in this movie who go to live with their Aunt's because their parents die, their Aunt's end up teaching them magic and once the sisters grow into teenagers/young adults Kidman runs off from her home town following love and men and living a more on the road life and Bullock stays with the Aunt's, well the town they live in is small and her Aunt's are accused of being Witche's and the community acts scared of them, but they aren't harmful witche's and they just go about the market and through the town as if it is entertaining that people act the way they do towards them, Bullock whose a young adult gets noticed by another young man who works in the town who fancies her and the Aunt's cast a spell to attract the man and Bullock in a relationship of puppy love, like all spells there are consequences sometimes and the Aunt's didn't think the long term downside of the spell would ever be a problem, but I can't tell you what that is because you'll have to watch it yourself. The movie is not all about Bullock, Kidman stays in touch with her sister and they end up re-united and she has problems of her own which add another twist and exciting part to the movie. I really enjoyed this movie, the reason I gave it 4 stars is because it was a little cheesy, but it was meant to be comedy and even if you're not a believer of magic, this movie is still funny and it's not got a whole lot of magical parts in it, so if you're someone who is strong beliver of magic is wrong or doesn't exist this movie definitly does not make magic seem like it is real at all, it maintains the make belive magic element in the movie. It is more of a film for women to watch, but it is very funny and I enjoy watching it and watch it often if I want a good funny movie.
