Sabrina the Teenage Witch (1996)

I myself grew up watching the Sabrina the Teenage Witch episodes. If you are a big fan of Melissa Joan Hart or love the series then you will definitely love this movie. The movie takes place at the beginning when Sabrina just discovers that she is a witch. It is very interesting to see how she copes with it and what she goes through. However not all of the main characters in the show make it to the movie since the movie was created first. The voice of Salem you can also tell is off. But, it is a great started movie to the series. I loved watching it. If you like Sabrina, then watch this movie. It will amaze you. It is magical.

I am a huge fan of the TV show, but this movie was not exactly like it. I thought that the movie would be like the beginning of the TV series, and have the same cast and set as before. It didn't.There is no humor in this one, and the aunts seem almost spooky. They're funny in the real show, but in this movie how they shut their eyes and mumble is almost creepy. They seem pretty cool in the show, but in this, they seem hopelessly old-fashioned and eccentric. I also think that this should have had something more to do with the Other Realm and being a witch than popularity and crushes. Also, Salem's voice in this is British, and he doesn't even make one funny remark.Even though this was far from the quality of the TV series, I am very glad that it aired. If it weren't for this, the show might not have existed! Overall, I'm glad that this movie exists, but I wish it had been like the TV show.

This movie is very thin when it comes to the plot. It seems to be aimed at younger children or maybe very early teens, so I guess it makes sense in that context. I'm not a fan of the series, nor of this movie. It premiered on showtime, and it really had nothing to hold it together. I think adding a few more plot elements would have made it a halfway decent movie, but unfortunately, it doesn't work in the end. The acting is decent, tho I'm far from a fan of Melissa Joan Hart, but nothing spectacular anywhere in the movie. I'm not sure they have this movie on dvd or vhs or anything, but if they do, only spend the cash if you're a HUGE fan of the series. I'd stay away personally.

I would love to own the series of films that Melissa Joan Hart has been in. IE: Sabrina Goes To Rome, Right Connections, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Sabrina Goes to Austrailia (to save the mermaid colony), and of course I would like the family to go to the theatre to see Drive me Crazy which is coming out soon. I am a disabled father of three young children and the entertainment provided by these shows are very entertaining and enjoyable.Thanks! CJ
