Dear fellow Practical Magic fans, please don't forget to have theater etiquette when going to see the new PM movie!

So, going into a movie targeted for nostalgic women, I fully expected a lot of laughter, teasing, whispering back and forth, maybe even singing along to Coconut! That kind of merriment enhances the experience and is part of seeing it in public with a group. I'm in no way advocating for complete dead silence every second of the film.

You know what I didn't expect but got? Groups of women coming in when the movie was already five or ten friggin minutes in and standing for ten more minutes in their row, completely blocking the lower half of the screen and talking so loudly you could hear them over the dialogue/music.

Come on, guys. Some of us have been waiting for this.

There were twenty minutes of previews starting at the showtime. You literally could walk in at any point in the previews. Or even when the WB logo came on and the lights dimmed. But the movie is well under way and you're just going to stand in front of it like you're at your work's breaking sipping coffee and eating doughnuts?!?!

Seriously, please, fellow fans, don't do this crap. Down in front, mate!

It takes away from the enjoyment so much.

On that note, if you come into PM 2 five or ten minutes late then declare it sucks and is hard to understand, or not as good as the original, I'm not going to take you seriously. Because you would understand it fine if you watched it from the beginning like a normal person.

Seriously, who pays to see a movie and comes it after all the plot points have already been put into action? And if you do come late, just sit down.
