I LOVED THE MOVIE AND I STILL DO!!!

This movie is the absolute greatest. The dance scenes are nothing short of spectacular. This movie is filled with 105 minutes of pure enjoyment. From "up and at 'em louise" to the part where she tosses her pendant, this movie could not have been executed better. With characters like Richie, Polly, Brad, Randa and of course Louise, There is someone for everybody to relate to. I think "Teen Witch" is a brilliant blend of comedy and dreams come true. I just wish there were a couple sequels to whet my appetite for Louise and the rest of the unforgetable cast.

This movie is the greatest! The review was absolutely
wrong! The movie was not predictable - *smirks*

Anyways, I think it was the greatest - I just wish I could
find a website on it *grimaces*

I thought the movie was excellent. I have seen the movie
numerous times and it never gets old or
boring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hester | 1:24 a.m. Dec. 12, 1999

I will never cease loving to make fun of this movie. It is
so awesome. The soundtrack is by far the best part (top
that, i want to be the most popular girl, we like boys) and
if ANYONE knows where i can hear it, download it, buy it,
PLEASE email me.

Teen Witch is a great movie. I've watched it since I was
little. I think the songs are great, and I wish guys would
still dance in the hallways, and girls in the locker rooms,
like they do in this movie.

Kimberly Gerth | 12:47 p.m. Jan. 6, 2000

I love this movie! I can watch it over and over again!

Lisa smith | 5:45 p.m. Jan. 20, 2000

I loved this film when I was younger. I hadn't seen it for
years until just the other day it was showing on Sky
Premier so I recorded it and I have watched it everyday I
love it, it still hasn't lost its affect on me.

THE GRIM REAPER | 4:37 a.m. Jan. 27, 2000

this film was crap

Renee "Blackie" Tague | 12:45 p.m. Feb. 2, 2000

Dat movie wa'd da bomb. I wa'd tripp'n dur'n it.

Aliah Davis | 2:46 p.m. Feb. 13, 2000

This is one of my favorite 80s movies! I think it is
terrific! If anyone knows where I can buy it....please
email me!

Frank | 8:40 p.m. May 15, 2000

Hey, this movie is exactly what it was meant to be...FUN.
It is fun to watch, the acting is good, and the plot is
easy to follow. Good movie with a timeless story. I was
surfing the channels today, and there it was. After seeing
it many times in the past, there I was watching it again
and enjoying it again. Kudos.....

Beth Coffman | 11:07 a.m. May 27, 2000

This movie rocked. You can't tell me that you didn't love
the part where they rap in the street. I also loved the
part where they popped fresh new dance moves in the locker
room. And, of course, the music is the best part, but I
can't find it ANYWHERE. DUDE, i'm so disappointed.
anyway, that movie rocked

Dan | 4:29 p.m. June 1, 2000

THIS MOVIE HAD SUCH AN IMPACT ON THE 80'S!!! IT IS DA BOMB!

joyce | 9:58 p.m. June 21, 2000

hey if anyone knows where i can possibly get the soundtrack
to this movie, i'll be forever grateful...i love the movie.
i remember watching it when i was younger; it's a
classic...love it

Bleschke | 10:04 p.m. June 29, 2000

Love the movie! Good views on Witchcraft and fun script.
Couldn't have picked better characters! Great family and
friends film, magickal. Always have been a fan of this
movie since I was a baby, and will always be one.It's a
classic.

kels33 | 5:17 p.m. July 10, 2000

This is the funniest movie in the world. It is wicked
Cheesy! My neighbor and I always start cracking up when
the I'm hot and your not part comes on. We also love the
part when the girls are dancing in the locker room. But
the best part is when Louis and Brad are in the old
abandoned house. If anyone knows where to get the
soundtrack, tell me!!

Mandy | 10:10 a.m. July 13, 2000

I remember it like yesterday.. when I was a little girl and
I first saw this movie, I fell in love with it. I was like
7 then. But just the other day, I was searching thru the
channels and it was on TV! I recorded it and now I watch it
atleast once every week. I'm even speaking out lines in the
movie!! :) I would recommend this movie for anyone. I would
also like to know where I could get the soundtrack...
anybody know? ;) This movie is full of clever comedy :)
especially the part when Polly raps. And the scene with
Brad and Louise in the abandoned house was the most
romantic thing I have ever seen! I wish there were a Teen
Witch 2 or something, I have loved this movie since I was 7
and I am now 15 and still love it :) GOOD WORK!!!!!!

amber and kelli | 9:08 a.m. Aug. 17, 2000

I have loved the movie since the first time that I saw it .
I have tried to watch it every time that it comes on I
haven't seemed to get it on tape yet. now that I am 18 my
daughter can watch it and enjoy it right along with me .

Nic | 11:03 a.m. Oct. 6, 2000

The movie is my favorite. But does anyone know any fan
pages or web pages about it? Perhaps, with the LYRICS to
songs! I NEED the lyrics! If you know email me or just post
it up. Thanks a million!

Stormy Hudson | 12:45 p.m. Aug. 3, 2003

I think it is great, if I had that video I will watch it
alot, but it cost alot know,, but aother then that I love
it.

blue | 8:05 p.m. Oct. 21, 2003

I loved this movie when I was younger and it is fun to watch
now. It is a rare breed of 80s over-the-top cheesiness that
no longer exists. For anyone who is looking, there is
something of a fan site at
http://www.geocities.com/teenwitchstt/Home.html
but it's not that extensive. It does have lyrics to some of
the songs, and even clips of some of them.

gary | 11:03 p.m. Nov. 9, 2003

i love teen witch its the most cheesiest movie i think ive
ever saw. its on right now on hbo!!!! its the best!!!!

Ashley | 6:20 p.m. Jan. 12, 2004

Hey if anybody finds any of the song lyrics 2 this movie,
could u please e-mail them 2 me?? THANX!!

Rachel | 3:19 p.m. Feb. 14, 2004

Good enough, but a lot of it did not make sense. The "old
abandoned place" part was extremely confusing. The best
reason to watch this film is for Joshua Miller's part as
Ritchie. He is hilarious.

yumiko | 2:42 p.m. April 10, 2004

haha .. "sex"? where is there "Sex" in this movie? I have
watched this movie lots of times, (I was born in 82, so I
saw it when it came out) and the only thing sexual in this
movie is mild, harmless flirting and kissing. OMG IT'S SEX!!

give me a break. This is not shakespeare by any means, but
it's a 80's movie, it's supposed to be cheesy.

Oh yea, and not to mention the fact it was meant to be
mostly for teenage girls, so that's why it probably doesn't
appeal to you.

melissa hernandez | 6:21 p.m. July 23, 2004

I saw this movie when I was about 12 yrs old. I absolutely
loved it. I was the geeky kid just like she was. After
seeing the movie I thaught"hmm...there is hope for
me."(laughs)I am 26 now and I still talk about it.The
soundtrack just makes you want to get up and dance! I
would love to see it again sometime.

Sarah | 4:40 p.m. Sept. 2, 2004

that is the funniest movie! hey does anybody no the lyrics
2 the part where the guys singing. the little "im hot ur
not if u wanna get w/ me then this u better top" song if
so enter um here cus that aint my real email address

Maranda | 7:57 p.m. Sept. 22, 2004

Teen Witch may be about witch craft but why does that have
to be a bad thing? Just because "witches" used to be seen
as evil doesnt mean that this teen movie is the same. Teen
Witch is an awesome movie. It is a romantic comedy with a
hint of a musical touch. It shows a good moral, while
having fun, making people laugh, and showing people a good
love story. It breaks my heart to know that the making of
this movie is no longer.

Lauren Stoeckel | 6:14 p.m. Jan. 16, 2005

excellent i love this movie! especially the music!

Lori | 12:53 a.m. Feb. 24, 2005

This movie was GREAT! I'll never forget the songs.... I
sing them all the time! I have it on vhs and dvd. I made
a copy for my friend and she was so happy! Glad to know
there are still fans. I wish they'd make a Teen Witch 2.

Wendy | 2:02 p.m. April 9, 2005

The music rocks here are some full length samples

Liz | 4:20 p.m. July 28, 2005

Does anyone know how to get the soundtrack? I've been
looking for it online and have had no luck. It was supposed
to come out this July 05. If you know where to get it, let
me know :) This movie is a classic of 80's chesse. I love
it and always will remember the songs.

Melanie | 5:33 p.m. Sept. 12, 2005

BEST MOVIE EVAH! so 80s cheesetastic. i couldn't think of
a better way to invest my $13 than to buy the re-release
of this movie on dvd.

Kristin | 12:16 p.m. Dec. 24, 2005

Why do i give it 4-stars? For exactly the reason the
reviewer didn't like it. This movies stupidity makes it
halarious and a shoe in to become a cult classic. I don't
know if it was purposeful but I see a little of Teen Witch
in other movies. For instance...what is The Craft if not a
creepy version of Teen Witch. Seriously, compare the two
storylines and you will see the same basic story, they even
both use magic to get the most popular guy. And those
choregraphed dances in a no musical movie can be seen in
later movies like She's All That. It is a must see for
movie buffs for its superb suckiness. I love it!

emily | 12:50 p.m. Feb. 23, 2007
