About this movie

You're in for a devil of a time when three outlandishly wild witches -- Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy-- return from 17th-century Salem after they're accidentally conjured up by some unsuspecting pranksters! It's a night full of zany fun and comic chaos once the tricky 300-year-old trio sets out to cast a spell on the town and reclaim their youth -- but first they must get their act together and outwit three kids and a talking cat! Loaded with bewitching laughs, HOCUS POCUS is an outrageously wild comedy that's sure to entertain everyone!

This is a movie that (despite the mixed reviews) people went nuts for. There is an acting hybrid in this film: a mixture of authentic acting and broadway acting Makes this movie fun and enjoyable. This movie has a well-splendid cast. When the witch sisters are singing "i put a spell on you", if feels like you are watching broadway on film which is energetic and fun. My main issues with this movie is that this movie can be stupid at times & a little over-the-top when the witchs get easily scared (probably trying to be funny but i don't think it was funny). The special effects & cgi are amazing & somtimes accurate. this movie makes you feel like "wow this halloween adventure looks like fun & thrilling i wanna be in there!" It does have some funny moments but again, some parts are stupid/silly and over the top. A solid fun halloween movie to watch!

I love the action but the slow pace of this movie is bad. Don't worry man I'm not gonna make it into a lot more than yourself. Time for the beautiful game of hockey and the subject matter how many charges can you send me abnormal cells are the bomb doe run out on a disc of my life and I was buzzed up with you boys are they located in the morning yelling at least one. Hocus pocus,well my review sums it up!

It's a kid's movie. The only way an adult could sit through this and not go to sleep from the sheer boredom is if that adult grew up watching this. I don't care at all for corny family movies, so I guess that's why I hate this movie (well, apart from that abd the fact that it's just terrible in all forms of criteria).
