## Resource

Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman return as witchy sisters Sally and Gillian Owens in a long-awaited sequel, twenty-eight years after the original cult hit. Sally, now a librarian and widowed again, tries to protect her daughters from the family curse — but one, Kylie, dives into magic to save her new boyfriend. The sisters reunite to chase Kylie, with Bullock bringing humor and Kidman playing a more comedic, less nuanced version of Gillian. Antonia, played by Maisie Williams, gets sidelined despite being a key daughter. While the film leans into sisterhood and spells, the magic feels diluted, the villain showdown feels forced, and the runtime drags — making it a nostalgic treat for fans but a forgettable misstep for newcomers.
