Most Fantasies from the 80’s or 90’s that Siskel & Ebert hated. Have gone on to be classics. Hocus Pocus is loved by many that consider it a classic. I wouldn’t call it a classic but the film is perfect for Halloween at least. I just don’t get the worship for it by many. The ending is like it thinks it is worthy of the E.T. ending lol. Bette Middler tries too hard in every scene she is in. Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy fair better as witches by not overacting. With a weird accent. The kids were actually better and they had less acting experience than Bette Middler.
