Movie Connections:

Remade as "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch" (1996)

very thin plot wise

This movie is very thin when it comes to the plot. It seems to be aimed at younger children or maybe very early teens, so I guess it makes sense in that context. I'm not a fan of the series, nor of this movie. It premiered on showtime, and it really had nothing to hold it together. I think adding a few more plot elements would have made it a halfway decent movie, but unfortunately, it doesn't work in the end. The acting is decent, tho I'm far from a fan of Melissa Joan Hart, but nothing spectacular anywhere in the movie. I'm not sure they have this movie on dvd or vhs or anything, but if they do, only spend the cash if you're a HUGE fan of the series. I'd stay away personally.
