A Kind of Magic

This romantic comedy with a magical witch theme manages to rise above the typical witch movie in a light but more subtle, naturalistic way. Unlike Bewitched (2005) or Practical Magic (1998), this more recent entertaining witch movie avoids direct comparisons and plot design to eke out its own less dramatic theatrical devices by incorporating a more pleasant realistic display of using magic. While not as powerful or emotionally compelling as its predecessors, A Kind of Magic has its own original magic deserving of an enjoyable romantic evening.

Why can't there be more Halloween rom coms like this? I thought the chemistry between the two main characters was magical (no pun intended 😂). Will definitely watch again and again, especially around Halloween!

Very cute movie. Enjoyable characters you want to follow. Feeling I wanted movie of the story to continue when it ended. This should be either a TV series or a series of movie chapters on regular release schedule.

You can feel a story being built on the romance about to blossom from Matt and Sarah. The possible mishaps that could ensue. A mortal and a warlock changing the face of the council. Continuing a story of how Sarah is learning how to live with newly gained powers and a world she only thought existed in books or television.

What would happen if Matt and Sarah started a family changing the old traditions forever and who would be against the change. I could go on and on. I can envision using this movie as a stepping stone to many story lines..

Great Halloween movie. Nikki Deloach is excellant and adorable! Wonderful story and well written. This is family friendly.

The supporting cast was also very good.

There are very few Halloween-related romcoms, which is a bit of a surprise. But any future efforts should look at this one regarding how it can be done.

Everything about this film exceeded my expectations: the acting, script, romantic chemistry, set design, and overall vibe. While not really "laugh out loud" funny, it was amusing and did get a chuckle or two out of me.

The acting was really solid. The romance was fairly deep in a way you typically don't see in these films.

It's also a really fun film. The magic aspect really gives the actors and script a lot to work with, and they delivered.

I'm knocking it a couple of stars for two reasons: 1) a little too much suspension of disbelief where it was avoidable and 2) some dialogue felt a bit drawn out (especially in the second half).

But overall I strongly recommend this underrated gem.
