[jarretthuckaby]

I watch this movie once a year it’s one of my comfort movies

[rowenatulley]

One thing I love about your channel is that I find out about movies that I didn't know were based on books. Usually I read the book before seeing the movie, but now I'm reading books AFTER seeing the movies . . .

Update: Love your outfit!

In the movie Sally moves back in with her aunts after her husband dies, they don't go over for a drink they already live together. Sally also doesn't call the aunts to save Jillian they come bk from their trip. Sally calls the women on the phone tree

Discovery of Witches is both a book trilogy & a TV series. It leans more paranormal Romance complete with time travel so if you like historical fiction it scratches that itch too.

The Alice Hoffman book The Rules of Magic is the best in the series. It’s about the aunts and their lives. There’s more magic in it too. Practical magic is actually the weakest of all of them. The whole series is really great expect for Practical Magic. The prequel about Rebecca Owen’s is good too.

It's been a very long time since i saw that movie, but i remember just being obsessed with the house that they lived in. That witchy aesthetic was everything.
Love the top in the video. It's gorgeous!

What a smol chunky boi Ringo is! 🐰Enjoyed the review, and your outfit was on point with the topic. Nice job! 😁

Honestly, I read the book as well, and thought it was good but different. I wonder maybe if I read the book first and then watched the film how my perspective would be...Always loved the film too! Yet, I feel like women and witchcraft is either romanticized or considered something dark, when in reality, women for thousands of years were herbalists, spiritual healers. Not all were considered witches (depending on the culture). Some women were considered shamans and sometimes could connect with those who has ascended to the spiritworld. The story is a good steppingstone, but only the tip of the iceburg.

When I heard in the audiobook that they left that beautiful house to move to Long Island, I metaphorically threw the book against the wall

Sidenote OMG RINGO!

The movie is definitely better than the novel. I also think if you see the movie before reading the novel you will definitely be disappointed. The novel definitely has some smooth lines but nothing really happens in the book. The movie is classic with a great soundtrack

I remember all the hype and enthusiasm for this when it was in theaters never understood why personally it’s just “ok”

[paulallenk]

Ringo is an adorable rabbit. Much cuter and I'm sure a better drummer than my rabbit Pete Best. Enjoyed your Ripley video yesterday. Left a nice comment and Youtube deleted it. Don't understand why. Watched Practical Magic on a plane years ago without sound through the crack between seats of passenger in front of me. Enjoyable !!!

I have read all 4 books in the Practical Magic saga. I agree, the 1st book (I mean 1st published, not the order of events) could have been soooo much more. Not a bad book, but SO different from the movie and other books. My least favorite. On the other side, the movie is a master piece. I have the feeling that the author saw how the public received the movie and changed her way of telling the story. Even the way she writes after that is completely different, almost like another person. The other 3 books are way better, I think you'll like them. The precuel is good. It is more historical fiction and has witchcraft. Then comes the book about the lives of the aunts, the Rules of Magic. This one is by far my favorite. It broke me. It is so heartwarming and yet so sad. Grab the tissues! Then, the last book, which would come after the movie... It felt a little rushed. It is more on the adventure side. But it was fun.

Oh my all time favorite comfort movie.

Great analysis, I loved it and I agree with all your points. I enjoyed the movie more than the book and that doesn't happen often to me.

[DwayneTheMomJohnson]

You should do a video that's all about Ringo, just saying 🐇

I have the novel and have read it many times since first reading it when the movie came out as a teen in high school. I also have an early draft of the screenplay and it's very different in many ways. I'm friends on Facebook with Alice Hoffman and she's as lovely as you would think. I highly recommend the three other books in the series: Rules of Magic (about the aunts as young women in the 60s), Magic Lessons (about the Owens ancestor Maria), and the most recent one, the sequel Book of Magic, which is being made into a film. At least I HOPE that's the source material they are using.

my sister and i do not deserve to go to jail for disposing/hiding of a corpse.... NICE
