This film is terrific campy fun and that's entirely down to the excellent casting and performances of Bette Midler, Kathy Najimy, and Sarah Jessica Parker as the three witches.

The rest of the (mainly kids) cast are perfectly fine but would be kinda forgettable in another film, the only exception is Thora Birch as the little sister, Dani. Omri Katz is a decent actor but his character is kinda _meh_, as is his love interest played by Vinessa Shaw, so any time spent way from the Sanderson sisters does feel a little like filler.

The plot isn't too deep and the ending is rather cheesy, but it bristles along at an enjoyable pace and is a very entertaining ride. If you're looking for a film that doesn't take itself too serious and you enjoy campy fun humour, then you'll likely find a lot to enjoy in _Hocus Pocus_.
