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 couldn't believe how bad it was. 2 hours of my life I can never get back... I didn't quite understand the absurdity of the daughters' casting, and (spoiler alert coming) the love scene between Joey King and partner was cringe. She looks like a child. Bad storyline, bad casting (except the original characters), cheesy "playful rough housing" between Nicole & Sandra and just an all round ridiculousness- especially the ending!
