Teen Witch Reviews
Really lovely film full of eighties cheesiness and humour. It's predictable but engrossing and just right to spend the evening in front of with a big bowl of popcorn
Teen Witch is a fun, cheesy and magickal movie!
It got mixed reactions from critics when it came out and I saw parts of this on tv growing up Robyn Lively plays a young girl reaching her 16th birthday, she feels so left out at home and at high school Then she gets an unexpected surprise when she visits an elderly witch telling her she is one at well passing down from generation to generation Now this girl has the magic to make anything happen to her desire from getting back at her mean teacher to helping her best friend find confidence to even getting the football player she has a crush on But she starts to learn that maybe all the magic in the world can’t give her everything so she has to learn to trust in herself to make life happen Some say the film virtually has no plot and they barely resolve anything by the end It's full of unmemorable musical numbers, product plugs, bad montages, and a predictable outcome It inoffensive at best Yet it's gained a cult status over time and it has a bouncy score Did much better on home video and overseas even airing on Freeform yearly during the Halloween season Plus there have been many homages as well as parodies There is a lot of charm though from Robyn Lively even the late Zelda Rubinstein It's total 1980s it almost hurts hehe it’s just you’ll forget it very quickly
Sweet. Endearing. Funny. 100% zany 80's style. Turn your brain off, enjoy a few dance numbers and misfits, just chill. Remember: you have the power to make anything happen.
Totally 80s and totally awesome!
Classic movie!I use to always watch this movie haha.
The epitome of what 80's movies are all about! Cerebral? No. Entertaining? Turn it up to 11 - YES! It's completely ridiculous, in the way only rom-coms of that era were able to pull off From its dreamy young-buck-of-a-footballer; the irritating, personailty-less younger brother; its all-female Home Economics classes, this takes you on a tour of all of the archetypes you'd associate with the 1980's. I mean, you'd never find such awful hip-hop, rag-tag fashion, corny notions of romance, and puerile fantasies in any other decade, right? Right? Oh, wait... Ultimately, it offers up lots of songs you'll never have heard, as a soundtrack to the reminder that being yourself and the power of self-acceptance are all the magic you need... all with a generous sprinkling of unbridled comedy
It's trying way too hard to be any number of better films.
Sabrina tried her best, but lacking any random high school greaser rap battles or a little brother as bonkers as Richie, no other teen witch could ever top that. Cannonical scale: 5/5—it's hard to beat dialogue as magical as this: "You think you're hot stuff because you went to a dance. Dream on! No one wants do date you because you are a dog! A dog! A dog!" *barks*
I think everyone should see Teen Witch at least once, not because it's a good use of your time, but because it is amazing how ridiculous this movie is. From the corny acting to the slapped-together storyline to the random musical numbers, watching this movie is a jaw-dropping experience. This unintentional comedy should be mocked and mocked often.
Yowzers! That was soo unbelievably corny. I mean, I knew it was a cheesy chick flick, buy I didn't realize it was THAT ridiculous. Still, it can be kinda fun in how laughably bad it is. Some of those musical numbers... oh boy!
If you like campy and light hearted this film is for you! It's classic teen cheesiness. There's dance montages and some singing. Don't watch if you're looking for a moral in the story. This is just fantasy fulfillment for any hopeless romantic who wished their teen years were more like these films. It's fun. if you're looking for a cerebral flick you're looking at the wrong movie.
The epitome of an 80s movie. Aged so poorly, but has one of the funniest rap scenes ever!
"Teen Witch" is a bad movie for sure, but this "Teen Wolf" wannabe, which does a gender and monster swap of the "Teen Wolf story, is wildly charming for its 80s nostalgia value. Seriously, the entire movie looks like it a Jordache Jeans commercial. The story, much like "Teen Wolf," finds a dorky teen, Robyn Lively, who as she comes of age discovers she's a witch (instead of a werewolf). She then uses her newfound powers to find popularity and boys, but with a similar dilemma to that in "Teen Wolf" of whether she should abandon her real friends for the stuck-up in-crowd. If done right, this type of story can be enjoyable (i.e. "Can't Buy Me Love" or "Pretty in Pink" or even "Teen Wolf"), but this film lacks good writing, characters, or humor. I was also confused because there are a couple random musical numbers that seem to come out of nowhere, when the film is not really presented as a musical. Strange. "Teen Witch" features terrible 80s music from bands you've never heard of, fabulous 80s outfits and hair, and lots of recognizable character actors who you don't know their names but would immediately recognize (Dick Sargent, Zelda Rubinstein, Shelley Berman, Marcia Wallace, and Joshua John Miller [the creepy kid from "The River's Edge"]), which pretty much took me on a walk down high school memory lane or at least an exaggerate Southern California version of high school, which was more than enough to keep me entertained.
Really, really bad comedy with music is representative of 1980's teen comedies.
