![Teen Witch [Blu-ray]](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51FJCYB8BCL._SX300_SY300_QL70_ML2_.jpg)
Out of total boredom during a slow day, I decided to watch this. I sent clips of it to my friend, who is obsessed with finding the worst movies to watch. I knew she would enjoy it because of its horrible acting, and 80s theme. The outfits are on point, as are the clothes and the music, but there was no little actual storyline that I struggled actually enjoying it.
She is an awkward girl with an awkward friend in school(wow, revolutionary!) but she finds solace in drama class and is close with the drama teacher. She finds a medallion in the wardrobe room and puts it on. Later she is nearly run over by her crush while he is canoodled by his girlfriend. She walks to the nearest house and asks to use the phone. But the woman insists on reading her palm instead and it is revealed that in a few days time she will be 16 and have magical powers. Wow. Really? And the medallion is alluded to being a source of power. She gets her mentor to help her preform a spell to make her look like her favorite pop star so she can be popular- and all that really happens is a wardrobe adjustment and a major perm. Oh, and everyone loves her suddenly. She is happily shown reading admiration letters and fan mail, but when they show up to cheer for her on her lawn, she looks sad. *eye roll* There are major plot holes- You never find out if her relationship with her best friend is repaired, or what happens to the little brother(or even what happened to him in the first place). Her mentor implies that she has to use the teen witch to get what she herself wants, which makes me wonder if she was a true witch- and then begs the teen witch to not revert to her unpopular self because she now has nice things and a fancier house(what?? when did this happen and why did it happen?)
The teen witch has to say certain incantations from a special book to make spells happen, but then other times she merely has to wish it upon herself or just say common phrases.
The guy she likes is clearly in a relationship with another girl, but as soon as she becomes popular herself, he suddenly notices her. She redeems herself a little when she worries that he only likes her for her superficial changes, and I thought that that would be the actual plot- realizing she is good enough on her own without the aid of a spell. But she never stops being the beautified version of herself and he suddenly acts as though he respected and liked her the entire time- which is not true to the story. Not to mention the oddity of him driving her around, making out with her in abandoned buildings, rowing her around a pond, and then- quite presumably- asking her to the school dance. She was fine accepting all these things, but the dance was where she draws her line and begins to really doubt his affections for her. This is where I really lost interest because this movie was clearly targeted to very young teen girls, placing the majority of importance upon a dance, and not to the days spent willingly together. So he meanders back to the girl he was previously in a relationship with and takes her to the dance instead- until the teen witch shows up in her skin tight dress and is paraded around on the shoulders of other boys. She removes her medallion and throws it to her mentor and Brad leaves his gf(again?!) for her and they dance and make out. Does this mean she gives up her powers? What does it mean?!
I found the random song/dances distracting and weird, although humorous(I don't think they were meant to be). Over all, a Very cheesy 80s film to watch and make fun of with a friend, but nothing to be taken seriously.
