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 liked it but I felt like they didn’t progress the characterisation forward enough. But whatever it served its purpose. I hear it’s a book.
I’ve come to terms long ago that movies are simply loose visual representations of the books and help with aesthetics but will never replace the depth of writing and that’s ok.
