    Louise Miller (Robyn Lively) is your typical teenage girl. She's in high school and is in love with football player Brad (Dan Gauthier), who is also the cutest and most popular guy in school. One nigh after going to see a psychic, Madame Serena she is given powers on her 16th bir... read morethday. She uses them to make herself popular but then questions whether Brad really likes her for her after she becomes popular. A great 80s movie that is perfect to watch around Halloween or any time.

    A silly teenage movie, it's pretty campy, so I guess it's got a cult following now, but I don't think it's all that good. It's okay, but not a great movie.

    Teen Witch is an ideal lamb to the slaughter for you and your friends. It's a great example of late-80s camp, ripe with painfully outdated style and bizarre in the most incomprehensible of ways. This movie isn't terrible by any conventional definitions, but it's a dime-a-dozen ro... read moremcom with a gimmick that this era excreted out constantly and has summarily been forgotten. I think the greatest part about it is that Teen Witch completely abandons her frumpy Jewish best friend after she becomes pretty and popular and we never hear from her again.

    I know everyone cites Top That as the pinnacle of this movie, but in my opinion, I Like Boys is by far the most brilliant musical number to be found in Teen Witch. Dances in the locker room? Spray-on deodorant? Towel shimmying? Only in my best dreams.

    Teen movie about a girl who has powers and casts a sleep to make her crush fall for her.

    this was one of my favorites back in the 80's. I wanted to dress like her when she turned cool. The rap scene top that is still pretty funny...I watched this a few days ago on tv & realized it is very cheesey but most 80s movies are...lol

    The movie was a cheesy's 80 flick, but it made me laugh at some parts. ;) Of course the story line was very lame, but it was a cute movie. I was always curious about this movie when I was in HS, but now that I seen it, it was amusing. ;) I miss the 80's. :D Not for everyone, but ... read moreI liked it pretty much.

    One of my favorite 80's movies. It's totally cheesy but man...i used to want to be her after she got cool, lol. Then Mr. Weaver was such a dick and Brad was a smokin hottie. Plus the music is good. I love it!

    This was another one of my all time growing up in the 80's faves. I love it that she gets everything she dreamed of in the end.

    This was an amazing movie! I loved every second of it! All should watch! ...It's very corny and cheesey but hey, what 80's movie isn't??

Tubular '80s teen fluff: silly, fun, and shallow. Full Review

A fantasy, comedy, romance, and musical all for the price of one, with such only-in-a-great-bad-movie treats as a 'funky' white rapper busting into rhyme every now and then. Full Review
