Of course, this hardly comes as a surprise when three writers and a pair of powerful actresses, including Mrs. Tom Cruise, all had a hand in stirring up this less-than-beguiling brew. Though the tale is not without its charms, its spell is repeatedly broken by the random pace and tone.
The movie, like Hoffman's novel, traces the history of a Massachusetts-based matriarchy of witches whose powers, in most cases, are no more supernatural than a tip from Heloise. And what hoodoo they manage is presented here with little flair and a modicum of expense.
Sally Owens (sensitive Sandra Bullock) and her sister, Gillian (spirited Nicole Kidman), have inherited the Owenses' abilities along with the family curse: No man can long survive the love of an Owens woman. The curse, or so little Sally and Gillian believe, results in the death of their parents and continues to haunt them as full-grown women.
Reared by their eccentric aunts, Jet (dotty Dianne Wiest) and Frances (operatic Stockard Channing), the sisters inherit their guardians' knowledge of medicinal herbs, love potions and other hoodoo. But Sally, the more talented of the two, refuses to use her powers in hopes of cheating fate and living a normal life. Taunted by her schoolmates and shunned by the townspeople, she sets out to win the acceptance denied her in childhood.
Gillian, a seductive firebrand, puts as much time and space between herself and her home town as she possibly can and attempts to defuse the threat by playing the field. Many years and broken hearts later, she returns to Massachusetts to console the recently widowed Sally and to escape her possessive thug of a boyfriend, Jimmy (smoldering Goran Visnjic).
Unlike the book, which explores the intense, varied ties among the Owens women, the movie concentrates on Gillian's desperate attempts to rid herself of Jimmy for good. The novel's darker depictions of love gone sour are also sacrificed to accommodate a chain of preposterous, highly unlikely high jinks.
Among them: the Owenses are suddenly embraced by the townspeople, who gather every Halloween to watch the coven, all carrying black parasols, float from the roof of their 200-year-old house a la Mary Poppins.
The scene is immediately preceded by a full-blown, curse-spewing exorcism that has been added to the jumble to demonstrate the awesome power of sisterhood. When women put their brooms together, as they literally do here, anything is possible. The goddess be praised.
The film is far from faithful to the novel, which isn't great literature yet is consistent in intention and tone from first page to last. Director Griffin Dunne lacks a clear vision, torn between blithe spirits and brimstone, between madcap and macabre. But then what does it matter when there's so little magic on screen anyhow? That is unless you count making audiences disappear.
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.
This process is accompanied by amusing sound effects, such as cackling laughter or spooky music, adding to the overall entertainment value. Some ornaments even have LED lights that illuminate the witch, making it visible during darker hours and enhancing its visual appeal. The witch blowing up ornament is loved by both children and adults alike. Its whimsical nature appeals to younger ones, who find joy in watching the witch magically inflate. Adults, on the other hand, appreciate the ornament's ability to bring a smile to their faces and create a festive and cheerful atmosphere. As Halloween continues to evolve, so do the decorations associated with it. The witch blowing up ornament is a prime example of how creativity and innovation can breathe new life into traditional festivities. So, whether you're a fan of spooky décor or prefer a more humorous approach, consider adding a witch blowing up ornament to your Halloween displays for a touch of whimsy and fun..
Reviews for "Enhancing Your Home's Curb Appeal with Witch Blow Up Halloween Ornaments"
1. Jim - 2/5 stars - I was really disappointed with the "Witch blow up Halloween ornament". Firstly, it was much smaller than I expected it to be. The advertisement made it look like a life-size witch, but in reality, it was barely the size of my arm! Secondly, the material used for the ornament was really cheap and flimsy. It did not withstand the outdoor weather conditions and tore easily. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone looking to decorate their yard for Halloween.
2. Sarah - 1/5 stars - The "Witch blow up Halloween ornament" was a huge disappointment! I bought it hoping to add an eerie touch to my Halloween decorations, but it failed to deliver. The blow-up witch was poorly designed; it barely resembled a witch at all. Additionally, the colors were faded and washed out, making it look even more unimpressive. It was definitely not worth the price I paid for it. Save your money and invest in better-quality Halloween decorations.
3. Mike - 3/5 stars - I wasn't overly impressed with the "Witch blow up Halloween ornament". While it did inflate and stay inflated as advertised, the overall quality was lacking. The seams were visible and made the ornament look cheaply made. The witch's face was not very detailed either and looked more cartoonish than spooky. Although it did add a pop of color to my Halloween display, I expected better quality for the price I paid. I would consider looking for alternatives before purchasing this ornament.
