Review of Practical Magic (1998) by Richard D — 11 Jan 2015
So admittedly this film is so far outside the sphere of my interests that there's very little chance that I would like it. So, I was prepared to not be very interested, but I wasn't exactly prepared for just how muddled and unsteady it could actually be.
It meanders all over the place, changing tone constantly. I can't really imagine anyone staying interested and engaged long enough to form any attachment to it. It should win some kind of award for surpassing even Robert Zemeckis in the category of "Crushingly Obvious and Trite Use of Music in a Motion Picture".
Every song is used to directly comment on the action in the most annoying and manipulative manner.
