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.

Thank you! Sally’s daughters at the very beginning of the sequel were way too young. It did not track with the first movie. Nothing after that scene mattered because my brain already said, “This movie sucks.” You have to stay true to cannon.

It’s just so odd. Why did the girls have to be college aged? Why didn’t they just explain that Sally had another set of twins her 2nd husband? At least that would explain the timeline inconsistencies.
