Practical Magic 2 cast a spell on me from the very first scene, and I’m not the least bit sorry about it. Twenty-eight years is a long time to hold a candle for a movie, but I’ve kept mine lit — I’ve burned through the original probably twenty times — and getting to sit down with the Owens sisters again felt like coming home to a house that still smells like lavender and trouble.
The biggest gift they could’ve given fans: everyone came back. Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman slide right back into Sally and Gillian like no time passed at all, and Dianne Wiest and Stockard Channing as the aunts still have that “we’ve buried a body or two and lived to tell about it” energy. Watching them together again was like curling up under a warm blanket on a cold night — safe, familiar, exactly where I wanted to be.

Now for the new blood. Joey King plays Kylie, Sally’s daughter, and I about lost it when I placed her — I’ve watched this girl grow up on screen since she was little Ramona in Ramona and Beezus, and now here she is, grown, curious, and clearly born to carry a broom. She nailed it. If she’s the future of this franchise, sign me up for the next twenty-five years.
This one’s a tearjerker, no question. There’s a thread running through it about reckoning with the past while trying to build something new, and I had to blink back tears more than once. They didn’t just reheat the old spell — they let the curse grow up right alongside the characters, and that’s exactly what a good sequel should do.
What people are saying
about the RunPee app.
This is a great app. I wish more people would support it
This app provides info about movies, reviews, ratings from people who have seen it before and after viewing. It has links to info about the movies. It let's you know when there will be a lull in the action and how long it will last. If you want to know what happens during that time, you can check the brief synopsis (you have to click a link, so no accidental spoilers). It has a timer you can set (silent) to alert you to a break. It also tells you whether there is anything extra during or after the credits. It's really a wonderful app. I've subscribed for a couple of years to support the developers, but I noticed some of the links to provide feedback didn't seem to work today. They also made it free, with voluntary donations to see the pee-times. If you haven't tried it, I encourage you to do so, and subscribe if you like it. I really hope the app is supported so it can continue to be maintained!
Developers note: RunPee doesn't make much money but it supports itself nicely. Donations are appreciated, but not required. We'll add as many movies to the database as we can until there are no more movie theaters.

A witch never reveals all her secrets, and neither will I, so I won’t spoil where this one goes. But if you loved the first one, light a candle, pour yourself something with a little bite to it, and go see this.

Plot
The Owens sisters must confront the dark curse that threatens to unravel their family once and for all.
RunPee.com owes RunPee Sis a huge debt of gratitude. She sees any movie needed with no complaints and has done so for ten years (even basing Thanksgiving and Christmas family festivities around the seeing films). In 2015 Sis ran the entire RunPee enterprise herself, while RunPee Dan, Jilly and Mom went traipsing off to Europe. Sis is the spider in the web holding the RunPee family together — besides being a funny, well rounded person, and a joyous pleasure to be around. Her favorite films start and end with horror (which thank goodness she’s happy to see, since most of us don’t have the stomach for it) — but also likes silly comedies, sad dramas, and musicals of all types. If you’ve used a Peetime for a scary film, you probably have RunPee Sis to thank for it.
Favorite movie genre: Horror, horror, and more horror. The more disturbing, the better. Period.
