I've watched Practical Magic 2 and already wish I hadn't — if you're a lifelong fan of the original Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman movie, please avoid it

I knew the odds of Practical Magic 2 being a genuinely good legacy sequel were slim to none, but I didn't think it was going to miss the mark this badly. Nothing screams 'money grab' quite like stripping away almost all of what made the original film so special.

Pros

• +Dianne Wiest and Stockard Channing are the sequel's biggest saving grace
• +Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman are also largely on form
• +Flash of the original whimsy can be found, albeit briefly
• +Katy Wix, what are you doing here?

Cons

• -Poor storyline choice after poor storyline choice
• -Embodies almost none of the original movie's charm
• -An offensive use of custard (and other Britishisms)
• -There's almost no point in Maisie Williams being in it
• -Dialogue that made my screening audibly groan
• -Somehow, this becomes a man's story
• -Too many new characters...
