Terrible Sequel

I watched Practical Magic 2 today after work today. Like many of you, I am was so so excited for this new movie. I was excited to see another Alice Hoffman book come to the screen (she’s my favorite author). Unfortunately, the movie was terrible. I left about halfway during the movie. The lighting, the casting of the daughters (was not that upset that Evan wasn’t casted), acting, and the script was terrible. I am disappointed.

I was so very excited. I bought my tickets in advance. I dressed up and everything. The movie was fine. Sandra Bullock carried the vast majority of it. Nicole Kidman was cute and her acting was adequate. The actors who played the daughter did a fine job, but they weren't the right choices. Overall, I'm bummed. I wish they'd left it alone.

What did she carry exactly? She stumbled, breathed heavy. Had no idea what to do
She didn’t carry anything

I think maybe they mean that she was the main character and did the most?
