Rating:
Griffin_Dunne directed this romantic fantasy adapted from the 1995 Alice_Hoffman novel about the Owens family of witches, regarded as outcasts in the town where they live. Aunt Frances (Stockard_Channing) and her sister Aunt Jet (Dianne_Wiest) tried to pass on practical magic skills to their nieces, subdued Sally (Sandra_Bullock) and fiery Gillian (Nicole_Kidman), brought up by the two aunts after their parents died. The aunts concoct spells for the lonely and the lovelorn, but the family's use of witchcraft unfortunately invokes a curse that spells doom to the family's menfolk. Denying her powers, Sally attempted to lead a life minus magic. Her marriage to fish merchant Michael (Mark_Feuerstein) brought two daughters -- and Michael's death. Moving into the aunt's seaside mansion, the widowed Sally warns the aunts not to influence her daughters. Sally intervenes when Gillian suffers at the hands of her abusive Bulgarian boyfriend Jimmy (Goran_Visnic), and Arizona detective Gary Hallet (Aidan_Quinn), investigating Jimmy's disappearance, turns up in town, eyeing Gillian and Sally as the leading suspects. Filmed in Washington (San Juan Island, Whidby Island, Coupeville, Friday Harbor). Bhob Stewart, Rovi
