Good concept, poorly executed.

Excellent, a Must See

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Louise Miller (Robyn Lively) is not very popular at her high school. Then she learns that she is descended from the witches of Salem and has inherited their powers.First, what is up with that little brother (Joshua John Miller)? He is a terrifying mutant and it is hard to tell exactly what he is going for with those faces and voices. Oh my. And then there is the Rob Lowe joke, which is even funnier now (2015) than it was then (1989), given Lowe's departure from fame and triumphant return.Somehow, despite losing millions of dollars at the box office, this has gone on to be a cult classic (allegedly) and there is a musical adaptation. Who is in this cult? But the musical makes sense, as there are a number of song and dance numbers that could be easily adapted. The film is not completely horrible, just somehow a bit off.

Although this movie was very cheesy, I fell in love with it. I loved how Louse Miller becomes popular after learning she's a witch on her 16th birthday. It was a hilarious movie and I love the clothes the actors wear throughout the movie. It was also very cute because she falls in love with the most popular guy at school. The songs in the movie were cheesy, but they were also very catchy. The "Top This" rap battle was the best part of the film. The cheesy "I Like Boys" scene in the girls' locker room was kind of stupid, but extremely catchy. The movie was also very fun to watch. I honestly have watched this movie over 20 times. If you love everything 80s, you've got to watch this movie!

This review is coming from an 18-year-old girl's perspective, so obviously I didn't grow up in the 80s watching this movie as most of the movie reviewers here have. I may be grading this movie quite harshly comparing this movie with the current movies out, but I'm really trying not to. This movie, quite bluntly, is cheesetastic and its plot is unremarkable. Sure, it had its funny bits (((SPOILER: the lead character, Louisa, using a voodoo doll to control her teacher, who has penchant to humiliate Louisa- is a fine example))) and there were moments in the movie in which you probably weren't suppose to laugh, but you'll end up doing so anyway. There were also many predictable moments that had me rolling my eyes when I guessed correctly. If you're like me and didn't grow up in the 80s/ personally witnessed it- you will discover by watching this movie that it's 90 minutes gone out of your life that you will never get back- in my case however it's 72 minutes since megavideo cut me off. I found Dirty Dancing and Footloose much more enjoyable 80s films. However, if you're looking for witch-type films, you may enjoy The Craft much better.

I first saw it on HBO when I was 12. I personally thought it was great. It may have had it faults but I loved the fashion and the transformation. I thought it had a good ending to very heartfelt. The only actor in the movie I recognized was that lady that played in Polthergeist.Weird. But sometimes underrated films are the best films. But NOT ALWAYS. Its faults could have been the singing outbursts I never like them in a movie and I think they could have gotten someone better to play the popular guy, I don't even know who that guy is??? But I knew who Robyn Lively was because she played in the Karate Kid Part 3. Anyways a memorable movie for me very fun, and edgy.
