Practical Magic follows sisters Sally (Sandra Bullock) and Gillian Owens (Nicole Kidman) who could be likened to the sun and the moon – completely different but travel the same path.

They separate into their own carefree lives as adults until Sally’s beloved husband Michael dies from a curse and so too does Gillian’s abusive boyfriend. Together the witchy sisters attempt to outwit a detective without the help of their brilliant aunts Frances and Jet.
