animegurls This movie was really good. It stayed very true to the comic of which it was based on. Most of the characters personalities stayed the same from the comic to the movie. Only difference is Harvey is a bit more like his character in show. The other difference (and something that is the same in the comic that is TV series) Sabrina's last name is Spellman not Sowyer. Other than the last name thing the movie stayed true to the comics and the Archie world in general. I have nothing against the TV show it was very good but still the comics are way better. That's why I like the movie so much. I dislike how people are majorly comparing the movie to the TV show. It's just comparing Buffy the vampire slayer the movie to the TV series. Both movies were the reason why we have these great TV shows (agian not the biggest fan of Sabrina the TV series but it was great as far as TV shows of the 90s go).

TaleraRis I think the previous comments can be explained by some clarification. Sabrina, the Teenage Witch the movie came first. Given the popularity of the movie, a TV show spawned off of it (much the same as what happened with Buffy, the movie was first) and the cast changes and other changes were made. I liked the series, but it's important to note that since Sabrina was already popular by that point because of the movie, the series had the opportunity to be much more polished and complete. Taken with that in mind, it's much easier to enjoy the movie as the delightful first romp through the Sabrina world that it is, rather than comparing to the much-improved later works.

president242007 I must provide one of the dissenting voices here as an individual who actually enjoyed this movie as relaxing and light entertainment even though the character development had a few flaws, the script could have been improved at times and the plot was essentially one that had been explored in many different contexts. It is infinitely better than the subsequent `Sabrina' movie that was produced and I actually came away quite impressed with the quality of the actingIndeed I think it was the quality of the acting that turned this movie from what could have been an exceedingly weak teenage movie into one that was entertaining and enjoyable. While usually not a fan of Melissa Joan Hart, she actually provided some high quality acting here and gave her character a real personality and a dimension that was very enjoyable to witness. Michelle Beaudoin also was excellent in her role, as was Ryan Reynolds as Seth and Tobias Mehler as Harvey. And Lalaina Lindbjergh provides an excellent portrayal of quintessential snob Katie Lemore. The only major criticism I have is to do with Seth's character development later on in the movie but I won't give that away because it would be classified as a spoiler. Yet I think it was Sherry Miller and Charlene Fernetz who really provided the most excellent, comprehensive and in depth portrayals of their respective characters. The two gave the characters of Aunt Hilda and Aunt Zelda so much creativity, depth, imagination and appeal –as well as an elegance and grace that went well beyond what the scriptwriters had in mind. Aunt Hilda and Aunt Zelda completely stole the show and it was a shame we didn't see more of the excellent acting of Miller and Fernetz in this movie –and indeed that we haven't heard more from Miller and Fernetz on the acting scene. They are truly wonderful first class actresses –I can't commend them highly enough. Sure, the plot was predictable, but the acting made up for it in my view. If you are looking for some light and enjoyable entertainment for younger audiences, this movie quite definitely fits the bill.

Mattias I'm afraid to say that the TV-series has a much higher production value. This is basically a cheap TV movie with a very thin plot. Sabrina fights with the high school's ice queen over a boy and Sabrina uses some magic to win his heart. Maybe that's enough for an episode in the series, but not for an entire movie.
