Early reviews for *Practical Magic 2*, which hits theaters September 10, have driven its Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer into the low-to-mid 30s based on roughly 40 critic scores as of September 9. The Susanne Bier-directed sequel earns praise for Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman’s enduring sisterly chemistry and nostalgic appeal, yet faces consistent criticism over a sluggish script, uneven pacing, and tonal whiplash. This mirrors the original 1998 film’s 30% score, with Metacritic similarly landing in mixed territory around 45. More reviews will post in the coming days, but the current trajectory points to a final critics’ consensus unlikely to climb above the low 40s absent a significant late surge in positive notices.
