Trivia:
Rosie O'Donnell was originally offered the role of Mary Sanderson, but it was ultimately given to Kathy Najimy. O'Donnell claims on her blog that she turned down the offer to work with the Divine Miss M because she didn't want to be a "scary witch". moreGoofs:
Continuity: While in the museum, after being thrown to the floor, Max's lighter flies out of his hand and behind the desk. We don't see him pick it up, but once they're in the cemetery, he has it again. moreQuotes:

I do like this film, though only moderately. In some places it's really funny and includes some adult humour as well as stuff for the kids, but a lot of it is predictable and has a pretty basic story line. I thought that Bette Midler's performance was brilliant (as usual) and that over all, I would watch this film again, but I wouldn't go out of my way to see it.
