I remember seeing this movie the first time on HBO when i was 9.. I loved it instantly, a girl receiving powers on her 16th birthday, which turns her life around and makes the best of it by getting popular, getting the guy of her dreams and doing what ever she wants, what more would she want. I wanted to be her. but then when i grew older seeing it again now at 23. She was happy only for a period of time, she wants the guy to love her for who she is and not her popularity and looks. I thought she was crazy to give up her powers. She should've kept em and let the spell wear off the guy of her dreams.
Favorite scenes were definitly when she changes her image, and the locker room dance and TOP That!!!
I sure enjoy watching this movie once in awhile, it's fun to watch, never get bored of it

If you like cheesy 80s' films, this is the one to watch! and it's one, if you are like me, that you can watch multiple times. It's the story of Louise Miller, a 15(about to be 16) year old girl who is a witch. She uses her power to become popular, and get the guy she wants, who bares a striking resemblence to Tom Cruise. Louise realizes later that she wants the guy to like her for herself and not the popularity part of the whole thing. IT's a great film for teenagers, kids, anyone! Even 30 year old women(like me) still enjoy it. I saw this movie a year or two after it as released. There is a lot of cheesy music, and a weird girl's gym scene where they dance around to a song called, "I LIKE BOYS!" it's ultimate cheese.but it's a cute story with a good moral. I also think that Robyn Lively is one of the best young actresses around. Watch this movie if u want to have fun!

While the boys of the 80's had Michael J. Fox as the "Teen Wolf", girls were well-catered for too, with Robyn Lively as TEEN WITCH. For a fun flashback to the era of leg-warmers, frizzy perms and stonewash jeans, TEEN WITCH is a great film.

Louise Miller (Robyn Lively) is the school dork, until she inherits magical powers on her 16th birthday. Almost immediately Louise transforms from wallflower to wonder-witch, and nothing, it seems, is impossible...not even the love of the highschool football hero (Dan Gauthier).

Zelda Rubinstein, Marcia Wallace, Shelley Berman and Dick Sargent (from "Bewitched") are all fabulous. Robyn Lively is an appealing presence in the lead role. The DVD includes both widescreen and full-frame versions of the movie.

I love Teen Witch! I saw it on the Disney channel many years back and ever since then I could not get the movie out of my head. I didn't know the title so I searched every movie database on the internet looking for a movie about a teenage girl who goes to a gypsy and becomes the most popular girl in school. I love every part of the movie (okay, except the cheesy locker room scene where the cheerleaders sing and dance "I like boys"). This past summer I saw the title "Teen Witch" when I was flipping through movie channels and automatically thought that could be the movie I was looking for all this time. Then I got the VHS for Christmas. I highly recommend the film for its moral of self-confidence, for the cute love story (the guy is sooo hot, even in 80's clothes), and the fashion Louise struts after she becomes popular. I think its every girl's dream to be popular in high school and get the most popular, handsome guy in school. I have watched this movie so many times and never get sick of it! It may be a tad cheesy, but keep an open mind.

Ok -- if you know what that means, or are laughing, you have seen "Teen Witch" and for some unknown reason, love it as well. I consider myself a queen of B movies -- some of my favorites movies are movies that should never have been produced, much less released -- and this is one of them.

watch it once, and you'll be singing "you're gonna be the most popular girl" in your head all the time.

This movie may be a tad cheesy but it sure gets a few laughs! My all-time-favorite part is the "top that!" rap song performed in the street. Since the first time I saw this movie I couldn't get it out of my head! It's so funny to watch.. Especially with the "cool" dance moves from the guys! Recently, it was on TV.... I had to Tivo it over and over.. it just keeps getting funnier!

WOW I am so very excited. . I remember as a kid my dad renting this movie for me and we would watch it together all the time. . . my dad still knows the words to TOP THAT. . . . they never sold the video so the guy from Blockbuster told us to dub it on VHS. . . . thats my only copy that I have. . . its about time that it is on DVD . . . . this was a great movie. . .

This movie is truly adorable! I'm 23 and can still remember watching it multiple times years ago with my best friend. I taped it off of T.V., but I too want the original, NO COMMERCIALS copy! I hope the distributors will see all of our pleas and re-release this movie! It's got that innocent, 80s cheese quality that I miss so much! The "little woman" from Poltergeist does an excellent job in this movie portraying Louise's mentor of witchery. This movie has the power to transport its viewers to fantasyland! I hope to add this one to my collection someday!

During college, my roommate and I probably watched this movie twice a month, for two years. Something about it was so cheesy, that it was fun. Even though there are some very bizarre scenes (like the girls locker room breaking into song), the story does send a good message about being yourself. If you don't know the story, it involves a nerdy girl who discovers that on her 16th birthday, she will come into her powers as a witch. Of course the first thing she does, is make herself the most popular girl in school. This also gets her the cutest boy. In the end, the girl realizes that she needs to be liked for herself, and that her real friends will always be there. As for the boy.......you'll have to see what happens at the ever-present school dance (if you'll notice, everyone, but the main players, wear the same clothes at every dance). All in all, it is a fun movie. For anyone who is looking for a copy, I don't know if this will help, but Disney channel plays "Teen Witch" quite often. You may be able to check listings, and catch it.

It's about time! Finally, we're getting the rare 80's movies on DVD. TEEN WITCH is probably one of the most fun movies ever made. The movie is a total treat. From the 80's synth pop score (It's a shame a soundtrack was never released for such a unique score. Cindy Valentine you're great.) to the campy 80's high school themed story, this movie is nothing short of pure magic. Fans of 80's pop culture should own this late '80's 'classic'. Like the opening musical number says, you'll "Never Gonna Be the Same Again"!!!!!!!
