A Kind of Magic

It is the corniest movie I've seen but it is absolutely adorable. I rent it every year. Honestly, at this point, I should just buy it. Cute movie about a modern coven of witches, rules about getting married before you lose your powers, which means hijinks ensues, and a cute beginning to a love story. Sometimes I wish there was a second movie to continue the story. James Welch Henderson, Arkansas 2/18/2021

Firstly, this is a low, low budget, made for cable movie. Take a Halloween romantic comedy that lacks comedy and dip it in cheese sauce and you've just about got it. The premise is Halloween silly, but it could have been worse. The script is weak, the acting is also weak. The cinematography is sub par, the lightning is amateur and the set design is cheap. Even the music sound track sounds cheap, it's like they wanted it to be Disney cute. That being said, on the good side, there is no gratuitous sex, nudity, violence, no explicit language. You can watch it with kids or your grandma. What is odd, is for a movie that is about magic, warlocks and witches, there is very little 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.

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.
