Practical Magic

FOR TWO SISTERS FROM A FAMILY OF WITCHES, FALLING IN LOVE IS THE TRICKIEST SPELL OF ALL.

Sally and Gillian Owens, born into a magical family, have mostly avoided witchcraft themselves. But when Gillian's vicious boyfriend, Jimmy Angelov, dies unexpectedly, the Owens sisters give themselves a crash course in hard magic. With policeman Gary Hallet growing suspicious, the girls struggle to resurrect Angelov -- and unwittingly inject his corpse with an evil spirit that threatens to end their family line.

    Great concept, poorly executed. There were too many plot holes, and the ending felt rushed.
