Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

disgusting, overrated, pointless

I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Even though this is officially a tele-movie, that I saw on video, I thought that I might comment on it anyway. The movie is based on the television show Sabrina the Teenaged Witch, which in turn is based on characters from the Archie comics. The title of the series says everything: Sabrina is a witch who lives in urban America with her two aunties. In this world witches come from another world and some of them live on Earth. The one reason as to why I like this show is because of the cat, who was once a powerful warlock who tried to take over the world. For punishment he was turned into a cat. Salem, the cat, is a very cheeky and intelligent character.In this movie Sabrina is sent to Rome with a locket that she must open. She is warned that if she is betrayed, she either must turn her betrayer to stone, or loose her powers, and this becomes important as a couple of paparazzi suspect that she is a witch and go out to try and prove it to the world – and one of them attempts to seduce her. She also meets another witch, this time from England, who is not really all that good and accidentally turns the guy that she likes into a pigeon, and spends most of the movies kissing pigeons in an attempt to bring him back.This is a cute, but mindless movie. I watched it purely for Salem, and sure enough Salem is his greedy, cunning, and manipulative self. The themes that it explores is trust and betrayal, but none too deep to really bother analyzing anything. This is the type of movie one watches if one simply wants to turn their mind off for a while.

This is my favorite "Sabrina" made for TV movies. The cinematography is beautiful and the storyline for her quest to open a 500 year old aunt's locket instructed by her father as the baseline is very strong. Witchcraft was frequently used throughout this two hour movie and the special effects are great. With her stowaway magical cat, Salem they venture in Rome, Italy for two weeks. Salem may be annoying at times, but he does truly care for Sabrina. I love Salem, he's so cute, fun yet mischievous in this movie. Her two aunts, Zelda and Hilda do not appear in this movie but are mentioned as "my aunts." I wish Harvey Kinkle, her notably first love, was in it. This movie depicts Sabrina venturing into the real world outside her sheltered life under her aunts and high school of the fictional town Westbridge, Massachusetts in Rome, Italy for two weeks.

I can honestly say this movie is amazing, it has very good quality in the script as in the effects. even thought this movie is from 1998 is worth the watching, the character of gwen is a very nice touch to th movie, a young witch in process. the music is more than amazing and i have to admit this movie is great to watch with family. as i was saying the special effects are amazing nothing too computerized and very good storyline, it's very different from the TV series because there's no mention of any character from the show but Salem. other thing i wanna say is the places were the movie took place and the scenes were recorded, trevi fountain, colisseum, streets of rome, colonial residences and ruins, this was a very, good choice from the director's part. well and overall Melissa Joan Hart! 10 out of 10!!!

I'm a big fan of the series. I'm surprised critics say it's typical Disney Channel garbage. For me, it's Bewitched for the 90s, especially the first three seasons. This was fun enough to watch if you like the series. Even so, it feels awkward at times to see Sabrina without her Aunts, Harvey and the rest of the normal cast.This TV movie was broadcast on October 4, 1998 during a time when Season 3 was airing. So you can't help, but think throughout the film that Sabrina's being unfaithful to Harvey with her romantic interest in this Paul guy. It also feels like the writer's tossed her on a trip to Rome for no reason. Some connection to her regular life would have been nice. I don't recall her talk about her aunts or Harvey once in the film. It feels like a what-if scenario in a parallel universe without the film actually stating it.I think you have to suspend-your-disbelief a little too much for the film. Even if it was a parallel universe, it makes no sense for her love interest be some guy in Rome, that she's never going to see again. I've heard of this sort of love story before…but, the chemistry between Sabrina and Paul is forced and seems unnatural. My first time seeing this was after I'd already watched all seven seasons. The quality of the movie doesn't touch that of the season it was made for (Season 3). This definitely is a lot better then some of the later season's episodes.If you're a big enough fan of the series you'll get some enjoyment out of this.
