Based on Jill Murphy's book, this charming movie is set in an English boarding school for witches--complete with orange and black school uniforms, broom-flying exercises, and potion assignments for lab. The incompetent student of the title, Mildred, is played by a fetching young Fairuza Balk. Diana Rigg is the nasty head teacher, Tim Curry the (oddly) idolized Grand Wizard, and TV's Facts of Life maven Charlotte Rae does double duty as the school's kindly dean and her evil witch twin, who's bent on taking over the school. Directed by Robert Young, this 68-minute video features less than state-of-the-art effects and several songs that stop the action--most bizarrely an outdoor assembly performance by Curry that turns into a weird music video. Still, preteen girls will identify with the beleaguered heroine who overcomes her wickedly snooty rival, a teacher who doesn't believe in her, and a band of dastardly witches and, of course, saves the day. (Ages 6 and older) --Kimberly Heinrichs

Kind of cute and funny but expected a little more. I really love the actors and actresses in this film though.
 Decent Simple Nice Movie December 7, 2007
I was given this movie originally from a friend to borrow for my 3 yr. old daughter and she fell in love with it and I had to buy one for her. It' an enjoyable, simple, 1980's era movie with Charlotte Ray and Tim Curry of all people and it was very tolerable over the 100 or more times we watched it with my daughter over the course of a week. Reminds me of a Harry Potter movie but with all Girls!

This movie is one of the worst ones I have ever watched. The only reason I watched it the whole way through was because my mom bought it for me at my request and I would have felt guilty if I hadn't. This movie had the worst effects I have ever seen - even a 1920's movie would be better than this! The plot - horrible/stupid/idiotic! The acting itself was much to be desired. To sum up - don't waste your money - buy a real movie instead!
