In Practical Magic, there is a scene where the Owens women drink together and insult each other until they can barely stand. It felt real because it was.
Sandra Bullock confirmed on the DVD commentary that the cast drank real tequila during filming. Nicole Kidman brought it. Bullock called it very bad tequila.
The house in the film was built from scratch on San Juan Island in Washington, took nearly a year to create, and was torn down after filming ended. Director Griffin Dunne wanted a darker movie. The studio cut the most intense material. He still wants to release a director's cut.
Practical Magic bombed at the box office in 1998. It built its audience on cable and DVD, and never stopped. People on Backlot are watching it this month. It is on Hulu.
