This movie gives one possible explanation for seemingly inexplicable occurrences. Exploring gifts we all have but don't acknowledge, the tendency to be dismissive because the explanation just does not fit into a neat little category is very real. There is no one reason, but acknowledging that all the little things we just can't explain gives credence to the idea that maybe we just accept them and count our blessings.

I have recorded this movie on DVD, watched it over & over & still watch it when it is on a Cable Channel & NEVER EVER EVER EVER tire of it. The main 4 Actresses in this great movie were PERFECT for their characters!! I purchased the Coconut song & dance like they do in the movie. It will make me laugh uncontrollably every time!! 5 stars is not enough, but that's all that's available. Love Love Love this movie. I hope you can guess that by my review!!

This movie, although dripping in Hollywood movie magic, literally describes a very serious part of a witches -real witches life and love with magic. I think one needs to take a look at the practical side of this movie then enjoy the Hollywood movie magic. It has taught me a lot about life as a practical witch and being a good parent when tough times hit. And even more so when aggressors like to make fun of my religious and spiritual choice. Advance on this movie with compassion and understanding.
