In Practical Magic, two sisters born into a lineage of witches—played by Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman—grapple with love, loss, and a centuries-old family curse that dooms any man they fall for. Raised by their eccentric aunts in a charming coastal town, the Owens sisters must confront dark forces and their own tangled past to reclaim their power and rewrite their fate. With midnight margaritas, spellbinding sisterhood, and a dash of romantic chaos, this cult classic blends whimsy and witchcraft into a story that’s as enchanting as it is heartfelt
