Practical Magic 2 is truly the Hollywood sequel that shouldn't exist — there aren't enough midnight margaritas in the world to make me forget it immediately
Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman's return to Practical Magic 2 still can't save the sequel that's totally lost its magic — and they're far from its strongest part.
Practical Magic 2 is a sequel that doesn't need to exist, according to this report. Despite the anticipation surrounding a resurgence of nostalgic intellectual properties, this film fails to capture the magic that made the original so special. The story veers far away from the essence of the original, with characters no longer embodying the chemistry that made the first film so delightful.
The narrative choices made by the creative team are continually poor, and the film's focus on men rather than the sisters' love story detracts from the core message. While the original characters retain their charm and are endearing, the movie fails to recapture the essence of what made the first film so memorable.
