Product Description
HOCUS POCUS
This big, fat theatrical bomb has a lot going for it. There's the three leads, Bette Midler, Kathy Najimy, and Sarah Jessica Parker, playing three resurrected witches who wreak havoc on Salem, Massachusetts, 300 hundred years after they were hung. There's music, special effects, and magic. There's a surprisingly horror-filled plot. Whoops, hold up on that last one. It's probably the extremes that this film goes to (displaying a Disney label), such as the witches sucking the life out of a little girl in the first five minutes, that put the brakes on any success for Hocus Pocus. Older children, however, in the 8 and up range should get a kick out of all the weird goings-on. It's a good measure of Halloween thrills and chills. --Keith Simanton

 I love this movie!!!! August 22, 2010
Bonjour (USA)
What a great movie!Love it! I can watch it over and over again! Funny and cute!
Bette at her best! Front stage. center of attraction, and yet humble enough to share the spotlight ! August 19, 2010
Mitch L. Gohman (Fullerton, CA)
As the leader of this trio of bad gals, and who can be badder than Bette, this is an outstanding portrayal of what most of us think witches must have been like, had they existed at all. And yet... Bette throws us so many comedy lines that witches victims must have died laughing at them!!
Billy falls in love with Bette and then her "sister", which is never a good thing, compounded by the fact that they are both
practicing witches - how could the boy not see trouble coming his way?? Speak up billy!!
I never get tired of watching this movie again and again! June 25, 2010

This is the funniest Halloween Movie I have ever seen. Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy are excellently cast and hilariously funny. I also love Bette Middler's singing of "I Put a Spell On You" at the Halloween Party. I plan to watch this movie every Halloween. This movie and Monty Python's Holy Grail are about the only two movies I have ever seen who continue to deliver laughs and lighten my spirit no matter how many times I've watched them. Penny Marshall and Garry Marshall also have hilarious bits. I don't know why this movie did not do well in the theater as it has a very funny script, wonderful performers and reminds me of the fun of Halloween when I was a kid. (P.S. I am a Pagan and I know witches are not at all like this stereotype--but their stereotypical depiction are nevertheless very funny. Real witches, like real fairies are nothing like what Hollywood depicts them--but the "fakes" are still very funny.)
a laugh a minute.Bette and company make the movie May 4, 2010
Rabid Reader (Tarpon Springs, Fl)
Although this is classified a children's film. It is just too funny for just kids! I am not sure how many times I have seen this but it is delightful every single time
