Practical Magic 2: Nostalgia or Rehash | Salt Lake City News

Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman return as the Owens sisters in the long-awaited sequel to Practical Magic, a film that’s stirring mixed reactions. While fans are thrilled to see the iconic witchy duo reunite and honor the original’s cult charm, critics say it leans too hard on nostalgia, calling it “cute” or “pointless.” The plot—centered on dark family secrets and sisterly sacrifice—feels familiar, with some calling the pacing sluggish and runtime overstretched. Bullock admits she never expected a sequel, but wanted to make it fresh for new viewers while staying true to the magic of the first. Ultimately, it’s a love letter to old fans, not likely to enchant newcomers—but the bond between these sisters? Still spellbinding.
