ClassyWas Excellent, smart action film.
Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
PinkLadies I don't know why everyone's being so hard on this movie. No it's not like the TV series, but come on, this was made BEFORE the TV series as a movie all on its own, of course it's different. Instead of endlessly comparing it to the TV show and complaining, why not try letting it stand on it's own?I actually really like this movie, so much so that I recently bought it on DVD. I thought it was really cute. It doesn't try to be anything it's not. It's simple, but for me that worked. For me the cast meshed very well together. Back when this movie was made Melissa Joan Hart was young enough to be able to pull off playing a TEENAGE witch and she did a really good job. Melissa Joan Hart was so sweet in this film, she was cute but not too much, and her acting was just fine. I really enjoyed Michelle Beaudoin as Marnie, Sabrina's best friend. Beaudoin had great chemsitry with Hart and it was very easy to believe their friendship, which felt very natural. I also thought Lalainia Lindbjerg was super as the malicious Queen Bee character Katie and Ryan Reynolds was great as hunky Seth, while Tobias Mehler was perfect as Harvey. My only complaint is that I found Sherry Miller and Charlene Fernetz really bland and uninteresting as the aunts. They weren't so bad but I'm not that keen on them either.The storyline was good enough...Sabrina Saywer is relatively new in River Dale. She has a crush on Seth, a senior and the hottest guy in school. But Seth is invovled with Queen Bee Katie, however when Katie breaks up with him Seth begins noticing Sabrina. When Sabrina uses her newly discovered magical powers to win a track competition, Seth asks her to the Spring Fling dance at school but by this time Sabrina's unsure if Seth really is the guy for her. All the while poor Harvey, who's liked Sabrina all along, has to wait to see if Sabrina will have a change of heart.Sabrina, The Teenage Witch plays very much like a chick flick aimed at young teens. It clearly was made on a low budget but it still (in my opinion) looked good and it's just a cute movie that's fun if you have some time on your hands. Try and watch it with an open mind, forget about the TV show while you do, and don#t judge this little bit of fluff too harshly. You might just enjoy it.
Joshua Bozeman This movie is very thin when it comes to the plot. It seems to be aimed at younger children or maybe very early teens, so I guess it makes sense in that context. I'm not a fan of the series, nor of this movie. It premiered on showtime, and it really had nothing to hold it together. I think adding a few more plot elements would have made it a halfway decent movie, but unfortunately, it doesn't work in the end. The acting is decent, tho I'm far from a fan of Melissa Joan Hart, but nothing spectacular anywhere in the movie. I'm not sure they have this movie on dvd or vhs or anything, but if they do, only spend the cash if you're a HUGE fan of the series. I'd stay away personally.
NASCARaddicted **SPOILERS** **SPOILERS** I have seen the tv series and loved it. So, I was really looking forward to the movie. But I was really disappointed. The plot is awful. There are many similar teenager movies. A normal guy (Harvey) falls in love to a Girl (Sabrina). But she loves the top athlete of the school (Seth). She dates him, finds out that he is a dork, and finally falls in love with the other guy (Harvey).The fact that Sabrina is a witch, is only a minor part in the movie. With some small changes, she wouldn't use her magic at all.For me, the only thing that makes this movie worth watching it is some of the female actors.The TV Series is way better.
Cyprus386 I do think the the TV series based on this TV flick is better, but this movie did set the course for laugh-out-loud comedy series. Most of the casting is messed up, except for Michelle Beaudoin as Marny, Sabrina's best friend. Michelle went on to play Sabrina's best friend Jenny for a season, which was good. However, the voice of Salem in this one was all wrong! The voice in the show is much better.
