PRACTICAL MAGIC  Send This Review to a Friend

Talk about clinkers. This bottom-of-the-barrel, alleged comedy is about a family tradition of witchcraft, and the actresses having to put up with terminally silly ideas include Sandra Bullock, Nicole Kidman, Dianne Wiest and Stockard Channing. Pity the lot of them, locked into the inane script that took three people to write--Robin Swicord, Akiva Goldsman and Adam Brooks--and a book by Alice Hoffman to generate.

The boring doings include an embarrassing scene in which the ladies in question dance about like idiots. Feats of magic and witchcraft? The film itself should be ridden into the night on a broomstick. A Warner Bros. release.
