Sandra Bullock celebrates 28 years of ‘Practical Magic’
Actress Sandra Bullock has marked the 28th anniversary of the 1998 fantasy romantic drama ‘Practical Magic’. In a social media post, Bullock reflected on the film's journey from a polarized critical reception to becoming a beloved cult classic.
Bullock noted that early critics were divided, with some suggesting the film had too many female characters or a tone that was inconsistent for both children and adults. She described the film's essence as a story about choosing to love with courage despite heartbreak.
The original film, directed by Griffin Dunne and based on Alice Hoffman's novel, stars Bullock and Nicole Kidman as sisters from a lineage of witches. Bullock also highlighted the existence of a sequel, ‘Practical Magic 2’, noting that the new chapter continues to feature a strong female cast.
