Plot Synopsis
Storyline
Sally and Gillian Owens have always known they were different. Raised by their aunts after their parents' death, the sisters grew up in a household that was anything but typical--their aunts fed them chocolate cake for breakfast and taught them the uses of practical magic. But the invocation of the Owens' sorcery also carries a price--some call it a curse: the men they fall in love with are doomed to an untimely death. Now adult women with very different personalities, the quiet Sally and the fiery Gillian must use all of their powers to fight the family curse and a swarm of supernatural forces that threatens the lives of all the Owens women. Written by WARNER BROS.
Taglines:

Trivia
Aidan Quinn's character, Officer Hallet, has something called Heterochromia Iridium.

Although it is unusual in humans, there are some celebrities with this condition. Kate Bosworth and Jane Seymour to name two. See more »Goofs
When Gillian first leaves, right before she and Sally cut their hands, she asks for her boyfriend's pocket knife. He clearly reaches for his pocket before she mentions what she needs. See more »Quotes

I liked Practical Magic a lot. I didn't think I would because it was about two sisters and seems to be a "chick flick". However, there was a lot more to the movie than the relationship between Gillian and Sally Owens. For example, Gillian is possessed by the soul of her cruel mate after Sally accidentally kills him with too much magic. Also, the Owens curse plays a pivotal role in the movie. I was surprised by the movie and I know it should have made a lot more money, but the timing of the release was probably wrong. Good actors, and good direction. I bet the book is good too.
