Think Logically
I've been watching this movie since I was seven years old. The movie always made me laugh, and the witches were more silly than evil. If anything, occasional profanity would be the one "iffy" part of it. And the average 7 year old wouldn't understand any of the sexual references.

 
It's not for kids or adults!
VERY sexual in talk. Some of which is talking about nudity and private parts. Loved it growing up but now that I know what it's talking about I was very shocked and had to turn it off! It's not for kids nor for adults either.

Little kids are scared, but older kids are aware!
Great Movie, good for older children but to scary for small children. Good for a halloween movie marathon. About 3 wicked witches and they are taking children's souls to make them younger. Max, Allison, and Dani try and stop them before the do anything. Awesome for older kids, tweens, and teens.

entertaining
i think this movie is great. even though it is a little scary it is way worth watching. it is pretty funny too. dont worry about bad influence because it didnt phase me or my sister at all.

Good tween Halloween fun, if you can get past some mildly "iffy" content.
This movie is another tween pick with an appropriate amount of scare minus the gore. Based loosely on the Salem witch trials, the story centers around 3 "real" witches that return in the present as a result of a curse they cast on the town when originally sentenced to death in the past. There are a couple of unnecessary words (see main review above) & a few mild sexual references, such as the use of the word "virgin" in reference to spell requirements which result in the use of a young girl to light a candle & Sarah Jessica Parker's sometimes flirtatious, although childish & obviously unstable, character. The children are positive role models that stick together & try to do the right thing as they learn the history of the town & it's famous witches, despite the threat of personal peril. The evil, but bumbling, witches are comical most of the time, never too scary despite being out to get the town's children, & are eventually foiled again. Overall, a playful Halloween adventure for tweens!

Good movie with some risque language
I love this movie! My kids watched it when they were little and it was just fine then. However, since this is a Disney moive I'm surprised about the word "virgin" being used constantly in the movie as in "the candle was lit by a virgin". Now I don't like them watching it as much. They could have easily used the word "child" as it is after all a children's movie

A great Halloween classic!
Its a great Halloween oldie, I think maybe kids that are NOT that sensitive, but I personally thought it was a unique and really bewitching movie.

Great movie with good laughs!
I really enjoyed it.It was interesting to see Sarah Jessica Parker in that character. It was a little unrealistic but,it was a Halloween movie.

A witchy movie, perfect for the young witch on Halloween!!
It is quite good and brillant if you want to watch together with your family or just with your friends at a Halloween slumber party, but be warned some aspects of this movie may disturb or even frighten children. Some parts are kinda scary with the witches trying to gain immortality by taking children's souls, when Max stupidly lights a cursed candle and the cottage starts shaking and the part when Max gives his soul to the witches to prevent his sister's soul been taken. Plus there are some religious bits like the witches mistaking some man in a costume as the Devil and getting panicky about the girl dressed as a angel. other that, a great Halloween movie!

Beware of the word "Virgin"
A great movie for the whole family. My only concern is the constant use of the word "virgin" as this may lead to an uncomfortable question from your children. Depending on how easily spooked your kids get, this movie may also contain some frightening scenes for the little ones. The message in this movie is clear and a possitive one as it shows that family and friends stick together. There really isnt any bad language in this movie. As I said before my only concern was the use of the word "virgin" so I leave it up to parents to decide if this movie is appropriate for their child.

Pointless, DO NOT SEE MOVIE
I've watched this movie 2 times and I still have the same opinion: it's VERY STUPID. It's very pointless and it was just a waste of time watching it.

This movie scared me when I was a kid, I was about 8 when I watched it. I think there are more sexual references than people are remembering, the blond witch is really slutty. I won't be letting my 8 year old and younger kids watch it. I'd say wait until they are 11 or 12.
