This Totally Awesome 80s Double Feature contains the teen flicks Teen Witch (1989) and the Heavenly Kid (1985). It is a two disc set (so each movie comes on its own disc).

Possible Spoilers:

Teen Witch--starring Robyn Lively and Zelda Rubinstein. Louise (Lively) has a huge crush on the most popular boy in school; of course, he doesn't even know she exists. On her 16th birthday she gets the surprise of her life--she is told by a local witch (Rubinstein) that she is actually a descendent of the Salem witches and will now receive her powers. Can she get her crush to love the real her, or will he, like every other guy, just fall under her spell? This double sided disc contains both full screen and widescreen presentations of the film. Extras: Theatrical Trailer.

The Heavenly Kid--starring Jason Gedrick, Lewis Smith, and Jane Kaczmarek. Lenny Barnes (Gedrick) is a nerdy high school kid. Out of nowhere, a foul-mouthed angel Bobby Fantana (Smith) shows up to make Lenny the most popular kid in school. Lenny learns the hard way that popularity is not all it seems and Bobby has some things to learn as well. Widescreen. Extras: none.

I have fond memories of both of the movies in this set. Teen Witch was a constant rental at my house and I probably watched The Heavenly Kid a dozen times on T.V. over the years. Definitely recommended.

I bought this DVD, and I have to admit that I haven't watched Teen Witch yet. But The Heavenly Kid was great. DVD quality is pretty good, and the movie is just as I remember it. It's a funny 80s movie with a creative story. I also enjoyed laughing at the styles of the true 80s. Over all a fun film.

Warning: The 80s were more laid back and not as uptight as today. There is an implied sex scene (doesn't show anything), and there is teenage drinking, smoking, and some drug use. (But all were pretty accurate and true to the time).

"its gulash!" one of my favorite lines from that movie. teen witch is super cheesy with extra cheese. people breaking into hip hop battles between eachother out of nowhere, the whole side head scrunchy wearing tu tu (though it seems the tu tu thing has been coming back over the past year) wearin glitz and glamour wanna be the most popular girl 80s bit.
teen witch is about a not so popular girl in school who discovers shes a witch and joins forces with the funny little old lady from poltergeist (Run to the light Carol Anne! Theres peace in the light!) and uses her powers to become the most popular girl partly in hopes to win over her dream guy. despite it being on the the corniest films of its time its also one of the funniest and is sure to win anyone over. i give it 5 stars for fun and humor. that and for the crazy funny old lady with the squeeky voice from poltergeist. she made this movie for me.

I haven't watched these movies since I was a girl! It was nice to buy them together so such a great price. The came in perfect condition and are great quality!!!

The Heavenly Kid. I love this movie probably because it starts out in the 1950s. Being a teen at that time, the movie reflects the way it really was. I even wore a leather jacket, boots and also went to some of those crazy chicken races. Bobby is a delightful character. The movie is entertaining and a bit of a tear jerk-er at times. I could watch this over and over and still find it delightful. Teen Witch...was OK . Story was kind of shallow. However, the purchase price was less then The Heavenly Kid purchased separately.If I had to do it over, knowing what I now know, I would have paid a little more and just ordered The Heavenly Kid.

I love 80s movies! Teen Witch is way better than The Heavenly Kid but for the price I would just order the set because Teen Witch alone is more expensive. Teen Witch is an 80s cult classic. I had never heard of the other movie but it was unexpectedly good.

Gave the movie to my best friend for her birthday. She loved it! One of her favorite movies growing up.

I loved my movies! And they arrives so quickly! I am an 80s child so its awesome to find my favorite cheesy movies. Thanks!

If you grew up in the 80's you will love these movies. I remember watching them on cable when I was in college and had my 1st apartment. Nice they came together like this.

this is a great combo. i had never seen the heavenly kid, but love teen witch. i gave it a try because it wasnt too much more expensive than teen witch by itself. glad i did, it was a good movie.
