Practical Magic
Originally released: 1998
Finally someone gets around to filming an Alice Hoffman novel, and they take this corker and stuff it. Bullock and Kidman are sisters Sally and Gillian, whose child selves are sent to live with their great-aunts – who are, of course, witches. The girls inherit their powers (mainly of the men-bewitching nature), but while Kidman wreaks havoc across fifty states, Bullock is the plain one who stays put. Kidman returns with a nasty corpse in her car, and the girls have to turn on all their charms to keep him buried. Not so much The Craft as Craft & Needlework Monthly.
