It's good but it is not the same as the original.

Nicole Kidman, who played Samantha/Isabel, is fine....but what got me was the actor who played Uncle Arthur. He has the SAME mannerisms and speech ("Where's my Sammy?")...made me smile because he made me think of the original Uncle Arthur although they are not the same actor.

Will Farrell is ok as Darren/Jack.

There are some scenes in the movie that showed the "Pilot" of the TV series with Elizabeth Montgomery....and the episode where Sam met Darren's old girlfriend (the same one that Sam "blew off" the girl's clothes at the dinner party). I thought that was fun.

There are some parts in the movie that is very reminscent of the original....where Isabel used a HUGE fan to make Jack's ex-wife's hair and clothes all windblown (imho, almost the same as the Darren's ex-girlfriend episode), where Endora (Shirley McLaine) as "Iris" who was talking with Isabel's warlock father (Michael Caine) -- In the TV series, Endora and Maurice were estranged...but in the movie, they were more friendly to each other. Iris is really a witch too as we find out later in the movie.

There's more to it here but I don't want to make this post too long.

There's more....but to conclusion, it's a good movie...enjoyable....but it just not the same (kind of far off from it).
