Though not as embarrassingly silly as Hocus Pocus, the 1993 Bette Midler starrer, Griffin Dunne's slight, undernourished Practical Magic will not improve much Hollywood's record on witchcraft. Part comedy, part family drama, part romance, part special-effects mystery-adventure, though not entirely satisfying on any of these levels, this hodgepodge of a movie suffers from the conflicting sensibilities of its three credited scripters: Robin Swicord, who has done good work before, Akiva Goldsman, who has not, and Adam Brooks.
