What’s more shocking – Ryan Reynolds in this movie, or Ryan Reynolds with that hair?Ġ0:07.05 – Fake!Harvey totally broke into Sabrina’s locker and left flowers for her birthday… which she didn’t even tell him about. Hey… that guy kinda looks like Ryan Reynolds…Ġ0:06.13 – That guy sounds like Ryan Reynolds, too…Ġ0:06.26 – No, he really looks and sounds like… Waitaminute…Ġ0:06.37 – HOLY CRAP THAT GUY IS TOTALLY RYAN REYNOLDS.
The mean popular girl is always a blonde (except, somewhat ironically, in the Sabrina show – Libby was the rare brunette bully.) We can also tell that this blonde is the most popular girl in school because she’s making out with a tallest guy in the group. That behavior is not endearing – that’s disturbing! Real people who act this way need help, not a love connection.Ġ0:06.02 – I’m guessing these are the popular kids, because they’re dressed in “cool” mid-‘90s clothes and the girl leading them is blonde. Here, he’s “nerdy,” which Hollywood thinks means he’s cute (but not underwear-model hot) and has a vast vocabulary of polysyllabic words (indicative of an above-average intelligence quotient) but he acts painfully creepy towards his crush, watching her and leaving “gifts” in her locker and memorizing random facts about her. It’s highly effective.Ġ0:05.53 – We meet Harvey, who in the show was a popular jock and kind of a man-ditz, but totally lovable. Isn’t it more dangerous to not warn a teenage girl about her other-worldly abilities than to tell her as soon as possible so you can help her learn responsibility? Does that extra time (a couple weeks at the most) make her more mature? Am I over-thinking a made-for-TV movie based on Archie characters? We’ll never know the answers.Ġ0:05.02 – Jenny (she’s actually named “Marnie” here, but the same character played by the same actress was “Jenny” in the show so that’s all she’ll ever be to me) calls Sabrina’s Doc Martens “mondo styling,” which I think the director threw in as a way of dating the movie for future audiences. This rule does not make any sense whatsoever, as powers begin to manifest on the birthday.
Apparently witches can’t find out about their powers until the first full moon after their Sweet Sixteen, or else they get in trouble with witch law. Salem tells Aunt Hilda and Aunt Zelda, who lower her back onto the bed and talk about how Sabrina can’t know she’s a witch yet even though it’s her 16 th birthday. Salem the cat speaks…with a British accent? What is this madness?Ġ0:02.37 – So we’re introduced to the eponymous heroine as she levitates over her bed, asleep.
Similar to the Simpsons theme, but before they get to Lisa’s sax solo and everything goes epic.Ġ:01.25 – Not even a minute and a half in and the glaring differences from the TV series make themselves evident. The titles look like they’re written in comic sans, and the opening theme music is very bouncy, like a late-‘80s-era-Elfman rip-off.
There are a ton of major differences in cast, setting and production, but a lot of people consider it an unofficial “pilot,” and I’m definitely interested in checking it out! And it’s on Netflix Instant Watch, which is awesomely convenient!Ġ:00.18 – I love this already. Want up-to-the-minute notifications? FilmBook staff members publish articles by Email, Twitter, Tumblr, Google+, and Facebook.Man, remember TGIF? It was that Friday night lineup on ABC, and when I was a kid they had the greatest shows ever Step by Step, Family Matters, Boy Meets World, and my personal favorite, Sabrina, the Teenage Witch! But here’s something I only just found out recently – before the series, Sabrina actually made her live action debut in a made-for-TV movie starring Melissa Joan Hart.
