A saxophone begins blaring sweet love through the air as a steamy dream sequence introduces the audience to Brad and Louise.
The two characters dance around trying to entice the other. Just as Louise leaps to her dream man’s arms, the alarm sounds.
Awake and back to reality, Louise (Robyn Lively) is less than the popular girl. She’s the girl whom everyone treats like a toddler.
Her plain, acne speckled face stays lost in the hallway crowd.
Her closest friend, Polly, isn’t much of a looker either.
To add insult to injury her bratty brother, Richie, managed to stick her diary entry to her English homework. Naturally her ass of a teacher reads the steamy details of Louise’s lust for Brad (Dan Gauthier) to the class.
Mortified, Louise flees to the ladies room.
Gradually, Louise’s interaction with Brad increases since they share many classes.
One night, after flattening her tire, Louise is offered a ride by Brad and Randa, but passes.
Instead she meets an eccentric little lady named Madame Serena.
Louise gets spooked from the woman’s prediction of strange powers arriving on her 16th birthday and bolts.
Everyone, except Polly, is a no show to Louise’s birthday party. However, her powers arrive during her troubled sleep. The next day Louise finds an interesting pendant while chatting with her drama teacher.
Things appear to be looking up when Randa sets Louise up with her nerdy cousin David. Unfortunately, this dude is Buddy Holly and Steve Urkel’s love-child. When she’s had enough of her date from hell, she tells him to leave her alone and he does.
Freaked out by her dates disappearance Louise visits Madame Serena again and the two begin to bond.
The real fun happens as Louise picks and chooses whose life to alter with magic.
Revenge is sweet when it occurs in front of an audience.
Having the ability to make your dreams a reality is at the heart of the film.
As the story progresses our heroine finds her powers are a blessing and curse.
Is popularity everything?
Is love worth having if it’s given unwillingly?
Although, there will never be one right answer, the movie helps you decide.
Big hair. Funky music. Spandex and mini skirts.
Teen Witch is a true 80’s flick that lets your heart sing “It’s never gonna be…the same again. Never gonna be…the same again.

Witch Week
Hello PJ's and A Movie readers.
This week I'll be spotlighting my favorite witch films of the past.
I'll begin with the family friendly flick, The Worst Witch, starring Fairuza Balk, Charlotte Rae, Diana Rigg, and Tim Curry.
Next we'll join the awkward high school life of Louise Miller, in Teen Witch, starring Robyn Lively and Dick Sargent of Bewitched.
The week will conclude with the Craft, starring a more mature Fairuza Balk, Neve Campbell, Skeet Ulrich, and Rachel True.
Can the Worst Witch Become the Best
What do you get when you put Fairuza Balk, Charlotte Rae, Diana Rigg, and Tim Curry in a film? Snappy dialogue, hilarious shenanigans, and a smack meowing cat.
Straight out of 1986, the Worst Witch, helped me through grade school. Every autumn day I’d awake, get myself together and watch a few glimpses of this classic Halloween flick.
The heroine, Mildred Hubble (Fairuza Balk) lives up to the films title. With her messy hair, wrinkly clothing, poor marks in class, and constant tardiness, Mildred isn’t the first choice for anything.
As if being a screw up isn’t bad enough, Mildred is continuously taunted by Ethel Hallow, the schools top witch.
However, as Halloween approaches, Miss Cackles International Academy for Witches preps for the arrival of the Grand Wizard (Tim Curry).
Each witch auditions for a chance to broom fly in the Grand Wizards welcoming ceremony.
When Zoe Chant-Vestry dips into the Laughter Potion again, Mildred replaces her in the group formation.
However, Miss Hardbroom detests Mildred’s old, ugly broom. Ethel Hallow agrees to lend Mildred her spare, but places a curse on it beforehand.
As expected, Mildred’s whacked out broom causes catastrophe and the night ends as the Grand Wizard flies off to “another gig.”
Will Mildred be expelled? Will Ethel get her comeuppance? Does the Grand Wizard still dig Miss Hardbroom?
The answers and catchy repartee are awaiting you.
So watch the Worst Witch, because sometimes greatness must be learned, not bred.

Monday Man-Harrison Ford
Welcome to this week’s edition of Monday
Today’s spotlight shines on the remarkable Harrison Ford.
Where would American Cinema be, if it weren’t for his performances in some of
Ford’s characters range from the handsome, heroic pilot in the Star Wars Trilogy to a rugged intellect in the Indiana Jones series, and the cold-hearted romantic in Sydney Pollack’s remake of Sabrina.
However, the magic of Harrison Ford’s talent illuminates through his quieter roles in tear-jerker Regarding Henry and the Amish thriller, Witness.
In 2008, Ford reprised the role of the adventurous, archaeologist Professor Jones in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
This time Indy joins a youth, played by Shia LeBeouf, in search of a crystal skull said to unlock a golden city.
Will doctor Jones charm the ladies, escape ridiculous death traps, and outsmart thugs with witty rejoinders?
Buy or rent the DVD this Tuesday and find out.
Until next time.
