It\u2019s been 28 years since we last saw the Owens sisters, and that\u2019s 28 years too long.<\/p>\n

But America\u2019s long witch sister drought is now over, as Practical Magic 2<\/em><\/a>, the long-awaited sequel to the cult film from 1998, is back in theaters.<\/p>\n

Nicole Kidman<\/strong><\/a> and Sandra Bullock<\/strong><\/a> reprise their roles as Gilly and Sally Owens, two siblings with a talent for casting spells \u2014 and getting into all sorts of trouble.<\/p>\n

Since the high-profile sequel is sparking an interest in the original, Watch With Us<\/a> has thrown together a handy guide to where you can stream Practical Magic<\/em>, Practical Magic 2<\/em> and whether the first film is worth watching after all these years.\n<\/p>\n

Practical Magic<\/em> is available to stream on HBO<\/a>. It\u2019s also technically available on Hulu and Prime Video, but only with an HBO Max bundle. You can also rent or purchase Practical Magic<\/em> on digital platforms, like YouTube and Prime Video.<\/p>\n

What Is \u2018Practical Magic\u2019 About?<\/h2>\n

Sally and Gilly are two sisters blessed and cursed with being generational witches. After losing her husband to a curse that kills any man who falls in love with an Owens woman, Sally refrains from using magic, while the more free-spirited Gilly uses it recklessly. When she gets involved with dangerous criminal Jimmy (Goran Visnjic<\/strong>), Gilly asks her sister to help her get rid of him. Things get complicated when a private investigator, Gary (Aidan Quinn<\/strong>), comes looking for Jimmy and bonds with Sally, who can\u2019t fight her growing romantic interest despite her fear of the curse.<\/p>\n

To quote a popular Jemima Kirke<\/strong> meme, \u201cWhat the hell, sure.\u201d<\/a> The original isn\u2019t a masterpiece; it carries a very low 30 percent Rotten Tomatoes critical rating<\/a>, and it\u2019s filled with female empowerment clich\u00e9s and witchcraft stereotypes that make you want to groan. But Bullock and Kidman have a great good sister\/bad sister chemistry that makes them fun to watch, and the film is stolen by Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest as Sally and Gilly\u2019s Steve Nicks<\/strong>-looking aunts. The film\u2019s soundtrack is the perfect snapshot of late-90s music, with Faith Hill<\/strong>\u2019s monster hit \u201cThis Kiss\u201d prominently featured.<\/p>\n
