I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

This is one of my favorite movies. It is a cute 80's movie that includes some hilarious witchcraft - along with an important message. Louise is not very popular and only has one friend, Polly. On a stormy night, Louise gets a palm reading by Madame Serena. It turns out that Louise is a witch and she will receive her powers on her 16th birthday. Louise uses her powers to become change her look, popular, and win the heart of Brad, the school heartthrob. In the end, Louise decides that she does not want to "force" Brad to like her through magic, that being herself is good enough, and that being popular is not all its cracked up to be. This is a great theme and it works well in this cute movie.

Teen Witch is a lot of things, but very few refer to it as a truly good movie. In reality, it is a very bad movie. However, it is one of those truly bad movies that is so bad that it comes full circle and becomes good again.The plot is your basic teen fantasy/comedy. Louise (Lively) is an unpopular girl at her high school. She desperately pines for the most popular guy in school, while being snubbed by nearly everyone and harassed by her evil professor. Her home life is not much better, her parents are nice, but dim and she has an annoying younger brother. One day Louise discovers she is descended from a long line of witches and proceeds to use her newfound powers to change her circumstances. The predictable thing happens, Louise gets popular, ends up alienating her one true friend, gets the guy and in the end decides to just be herself.What sets this movie apart is that it is not a musical per se, but includes a large amount of musical numbers set to generally catchy songs. Often these numbers will come out of nowhere, have odd choreography and add little to the plot. The stand out number in this movie would be a song called "Top That", which involves Louise's nerdy best friend getting into a rap off with a boy she likes. It really has to be seen to be believed.

"Louise, i brought your morning pa-pa', i took the liberty of ironing your home-work'!" Ahh... the immortal words of Louise's crazy looking little brother, what an amazing leap for the world of cinema. I am in awe each time i watch this dazzling film. Be it the A-mazing rap sequence or just the HI-larious teacher in the car wash/voodoo doll sequence i cannot get enough of teen witch...but i must say the only flaw in the film is the incredible standard that all of my boyfriends have been held to since the scene in the abandoned house where Brad stands in his tank top daring Louise to "catch" him. well what can i say. this is a no-brainer, peace out dudes.

I first saw it on HBO when I was 12. I personally thought it was great. It may have had it faults but I loved the fashion and the transformation. I thought it had a good ending to very heartfelt. The only actor in the movie I recognized was that lady that played in Polthergeist.Weird. But sometimes underrated films are the best films. But NOT ALWAYS. Its faults could have been the singing outbursts I never like them in a movie and I think they could have gotten someone better to play the popular guy, I don't even know who that guy is??? But I knew who Robyn Lively was because she played in the Karate Kid Part 3. Anyways a memorable movie for me very fun, and edgy.
