Description
You're in for a devil of a time when three outlandishly wild witches -- Bette Midler (BEACHES, BIG BUSINESS), Sarah Jessica Parker (HONEYMOON IN VEGAS), and Kathy Najimy (SISTER ACT) -- return from 17th-century Salem after they're accidentally conjured up by some unsuspecting pranksters! It's a night full of zany fun and comic chaos once the tricky 300-year-old trio sets out to cast a spell on the town and reclaim their youth -- but first they must get their act together and outwit three kids and a talking cat! Loaded with bewitching laughs, HOCUS POCUS is an outrageously wild comedy that's sure to entertain everyone!

This big, fat theatrical bomb has a lot going for it. There's the three leads, Bette Midler, Kathy Najimy, and Sarah Jessica Parker, playing three resurrected witches who wreak havoc on Salem, Massachusetts, 300 hundred years after they were hung. There's music, special effects, and magic. There's a surprisingly horror-filled plot. Whoops, hold up on that last one. It's probably the extremes that this film goes to (displaying a Disney label), such as the witches sucking the life out of a little girl in the first five minutes, that put the brakes on any success for Hocus Pocus. Older children, however, in the 8 and up range should get a kick out of all the weird goings-on. It's a good measure of Halloween thrills and chills. --Keith Simanton

5 out of 5 stars Great family movie   December 2, 2008
Hocus Pocus is a great family movie. It funny and not scary for children and least I don't think so. The casting is very good and just love that movie. We got it before Halloween and watched it as a family and had a good time watching it.


5 out of 5 stars Halloween Delight   December 1, 2008
Great movie, I am not a real Bette Midler fan but I thought she did a great job in Hocus Pocus. Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy were right with her in all respects. I give it an A+ in acting all around. It was both spooky and funny at the same time. It will be an annual event at halloween to watch this movie.
