This is one of the most bizarre mish-mashes of a film that I have ever seen. It wanders from being a girl-bonding film to a romance to witchcraft with each segment popping up like one is reading a magazine with one part following another with no real cohesion between them. The basic idea is that Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman play witches, and Sandra can't have a normal romance with a human because she is a witch.
We learn this early on and from this point on the film ambles through plot lines and ideas, each with about fifteen minutes till it moves onto the next idea which last for another 15 minutes. Each moment is so disconnected from the rest that you feel no real passion for the characters and no distinctive connection to the story, if you can call it that.
If you're after a good chick flick with magic see "Stardust", if you want a good chick flick in general see "Bring it on", but for pity's sake please avoid this one. It's got Akiva Goldman's name on it and is from the same school as "Batman and Robin". Don't say you've not been warned.
