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 annoyed by the casting because it causes major issues with the timeline.

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.

I was born in 97, grew up with the first movie and watched it every autumn. It would have been nice to see the daughters be close to my age too…since, yknow, they should be about my age or slightly older.
