Davis P Teen witch is a very cute, sweet 1980s film about love, being true to yourself, and........ 80s style lol. No, it is not a classic and yes, it does have its minor flaws. But really overall, it's a good fun ride that you should consider going on. Robyn Lively plays a great lead role, and she has a great energy about her that really makes her likable and sweet, you sympathize with her and truly want everything to work out for her. And Dan Guither was the perfect choice to play Brad, I mean the perfect choice! Dan is hot, irresistible, cute, sweet, warm hearted and just fits his character so well in every necessary way. Robyn and Dan have great chemistry together too, especially in their sensual, romantic scene. I absolutely adore that scene too! The implied sex scene in this film is so romantic and well done. It is sensual, and Dan is so sexy and romantic at the same time, the way he entices Robyn in that scene is just so perfect. There are also a couple of fun musical number scenes here too, including Top That and We Like Boys. Now one complaint I have is the little brother, he wasn't really funny at all, and I just thought his character was too over the top weird and borderline creepy. Well that just about wraps up Teen Witch, it's the cute 80s style teen film you've always dreamed of, it's almost like a Cinderella fairytale story in a way. 8/10.

Eugenia Brown Great nostalgic movie that I introduced to my own children years later and they happened to love it just as much as I did when I was a child at their age. Timeless! A great film for girls ages 5-17. The film teaches girls of all ages that popularity isn't everything. That your tries friends are what's most important and that genuine love is al that matters. It teaches that the only people you need in life are the ones that want to be there, not the ones you have to force. Great film, funny, interested with a moral plot. The plot was a typical teenage plot with the heartthrob and the googly eyed girl vying for his attention, but with a magical twist. This movie easily qualifies as a classic.

hnt_dnl My personal favorite decade never fails to amaze me! Just when I think I've exhausted the time capsule, yet another 80s treasure surfaces. For the first time, I recently saw Teen Witch (1989), contender for one of the most odd cult classics ever! An amalgamation of teen comedy, the supernatural, musical, and coming-of-age, this is just another one of those 80s confections that just plain works! An box office failure, I actually remember this flick from back in the day and it was just one of those I never had a desire to watch. It seemed cheesy, lame, and unwatchable. Honestly, it kind of is none of those things. It's just odd, but in a GOOD way, a true so-bad-it's-good experience! Teen Witch appeared to try to capitalize on the success of the decade's earlier surprise hit Teen Wolf and draws somewhat on that story. Here, a dour, shy, bookworm and soon-to-be 16-year old girl Louise (played with great charm and ease by then-newcomer Robyn Lively) learns from a local fortune-teller (iconic Zelda Rubenstein from Poltergeist fame) that she is destined to gain witch powers on her 16th birthday. Cut to her 16th birthday...You get the idea! Louise begins to see her newfound powers at work, as she inadvertently controls the actions of her snarky little brother (scene-stealing Joshua Miller), her shallow peers, and her mean-spirited teacher (wonderfully played by Shelley Berman).The main object of Louise's powers is her snaring of her crush, the school football hero Brad Powell (refreshingly played by Dan Gauthier). I've got to say, Lively and Gauthier have AMAZING chemistry in this! It's hard to believe that Lively was actually 16 years old in real life, because she has an amazing maturity in this. Hard to believe, but Gauthier was 26 years old (10 years Lively's senior!) and she comes across just as mature as him! There are several intense scenes between them that I doubt would get past censors today! The big pull in this flick for me is the infectious soundtrack, a series of memorable 80s original songs interspersed throughout the movie in the form of dance sequences and mini-music videos. Both the opening "Never Gonna Be" and closing "Finest Hour" dance numbers (performed by Lively and Gauthier and sung by the sadly forgotten 80s singer Cindy Valentine) are keepers as well as pretty much all the songs in between, including the joyous "I Like Boys" girls' locker room dance number (led by cast member Megan Gallivan, who plays Kiki) and the dueling male-female rap number "Top That" performed by cast members Noah Blake (who plays the rapping wannabe Rhet) and Mandy Ingber (who plays Louise's best friend Polly). If a person didn't know any better, they'd think it was a musical! But it's really not.Strangely enough, even though this movie's premise is rather odd, the occult aspects don't seem that silly to me and the witchcraft scenes between Louise and Zelda kind of draw me in; I really like their mentor-student friendship bond. Also, even though it's obvious that Louise has powers, there are also moments that make one think she's doing a lot of this herself just by having more confidence and transforming her appearance and attitude. The ending speaks to that. I must also note that Louise's parents are played by Dick Sargent (the 2nd Darrin from Bewitched, obvious stunt casting there!) and 80s TV and B-movie stalwart Caryn Kaye (from the 83 sex comedy My Tutor!).The movie appears to combine elements and themes of several more popular mainstream 80s hit teen movies, such as Sixteen Candles (unpopular girl turns 16 to little or no fanfare and has major crush on school's mos popular guy) and Pretty in Pink (odd-dressing girl looked down upon by the more popular girl cliques). Yet it has the added bonus of the supernatural element and the infusion of 80s music video scenes.Teen Witch, odd as it is, has so many appealing elements that make it work: an immensely appealing lead who has great chemistry with her male counterpart, memorable supporting characters, fun musical numbers, and a great soundtrack. 80s all the way!

danmankp37 Teen Witch might be one of the Cheesiest movies of the 80's.. From the dialogue, to the corny dance numbers, to the 80's outfits, some might think this movie is a mess. So What IMO makes it so watchable and entertaining. Two Words, one lady Robyn Lively.. Robyn Lively plays Louise Miller, a Teenager having trouble fitting in, at High School, getting the hunky High School Quarterback to notice her and coming out of her shell.. This all changes when on her 16th Birthday she discovers she has witch-like powers. The power to cast spells. The power to make a fool of her most annoying and evil teacher. To make the popular girls, look bad and yes even the power to make herself popular and get The Hunky QB to realize what he's been missing.. Teen Witch has enough plot problems and corny moments that unless the lead in the film was amazingly adorable and lit up the screen, it wasn't going to work. Luckily Robyn Lively does just that. She is lovable in every moment in this film. From the beginning when she is shy and awkward to her Ascension as the new, beautiful, most popular girl on campus, she makes this movie work. Watch Teen Witch once. Then watch it, a few more times. Trust me when i tell you Robyn will keep getting cuter every time you see it..
