The DVD was in wide screen which was not apparent at the time of purchase. It was in good condition and was delivered very quickly. Overall I would purchase from this seller again!DVD Review: "...you put the lime in the coconut..." :-)
Summary: 4 Stars
Sigh... I love this movie. I liked it when it first came out, and it has continued to grow on me over the years. A perennial favorite at our "goddess gatherings."
The aunts are played so well, for all that their parts are relatively small, by Dianne Weist and Stockard Channing. Sandra Bullock is one of my fave actresses, and Nicole Kidman is excellent, also. I wasn't so sure about Aiden Quinn the first time I saw it, but now I love his character more each time I watch the movie.
Margaritas, long-awaited true love, and an exorcism, just for spice! How can you lose?
DVD Review: Different from the book, but just as good
Summary: 5 Stars
Very different from the book, but I love the movie just as much. It's absolutely beautiful to look at: the house, the seaside village in which they live, Goran Visnjic, etc. I also was touched by the relationship between sisters Sally and Gillian, the storyline between Sandra Bullock and Aidan Quinn makes me feel all mushy, and I love all the witchy stuff. One of my favourite girly movies.
Description of Practical Magic
If a broom falls, company is due. When a circle rings the moon, trouble looms, Should you misplace your broom, sorry; a hand vac can't be used in an exorcism rite. Fun and excitement abound in the Owens family of wily witches. One problem, though: the men the Owens women fall in love with are doomed to an untimely death. Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman bring a sparkling screen magic to Practical Magic, adapted from Alice Hoffman's bestseller and directed by Griffin Dunne (Addicted to Love). They play Sally and Gillian Owens, sisters hexed by a centuries -old curse...and coping with a witches brew of events involving a possible love match (Aidan Quinn) for one, a zombie (Goran Visnjic) for the other and a need to resume the age-old witchcraft taught by two doting Owens aunts (Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest). Sit for a spell and enjoy.DVD Features:

TV Spot
Actor Griffin Dunne improves a bit on his first film as a director, Addicted to Love, with this drama-comedy about a family of witches. Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock play spell-casting sisters of different temperaments: the former is a high-living, free-spirited sort, while Bullock's character is a homebody who can't get around a family curse that kills the men in their lives. A widowed single mom, Bullock gets into a jam with an abusive Bulgarian (Goran Visnjic) and is helped out by her sibling, but the result brings a good-looking, warm, inquisitive cop (Aidan Quinn) into their lives. The film has a variety of tonal changes--cute, scary, glum--that Dunne can't always effectively juggle. But the female-centric, celebratory nature of the film (the fantasies, the sharing, the witchy bonds) is infectious, and supporting roles by Dianne Wiest and Stockard Channing as Kidman and Bullock's magical aunts are a lot of fun. --Tom Keogh
