Sabrina, Down Under

This movie was released recently here in Australia, but unfortunately went straight to video. After all the publicity it received here in Queensland (where it was filmed), it would have been nice for it to have hit the big screen.

Definitely a movie for Sabrina lovers, but I felt that "Sabrina goes to Rome" was slightly better. This can probably be contributed to the fact that Aussie's don't talk in slang (as portrayed by one of the characters), and this therefore made the overall feel of the movie very unrealistic.

Despite that, this is a still great family movie.

Made Australian's out to be a bunch of hicks. The take they have on Australian society is so far from the truth its ridiculous. Acting is also below par even for a sabrina movie.

i'd like you to help, i want to know the name of the song which appears in the disco scene, i think is tom Jones but i can't find it, i'll appreciate your help, i like this movie but i want to know the name and the artist of that song, remember appears in the discotheque scene , write me to altarrl@hotmail.com, my name is Ricardo thanks, i also like to tell you that Melissa Joan hart is one of my favorite actress, and i saw a mermaid once in my life, I'm from Peru but i live in Spain now, it was like a fishtailed woman who cries at night, i saw her once, but i kept hearing her lament for many nights, the people who lives near that river told me that is one of the several demons of the night who catch men and disappear with them, that's why the wives makes rituals to keep that creatures away from the shore.

Lame and lazy, this made for TV feature length adventure for the teenage witch shows how much the TV series owes its spark to the talents of Caroline Rhea and Beth Broderick - both are absent from this film. There is very little to like here, with flat performances, scant, predictable plot and an intensely annoying soundtrack. This film achieves some kind of distinction by making Australia's Great Barrier Reef appear to be a really, really dull place to visit. Melissa Joan Hart ambles through this film, giving the strong impression that she's actually on holidays and doesn't particularly want to be doing this movie. There's not much to inspire from anyone else in the cast, either.

For hard core fans of STTW only - and uncritical ones at that.

This is, indeed, a fluffy TV movie, and I'm not sure I would recommend it to anyone who isn't desperate for something to keep the (very small) kids quiet for a couple of hours. For Melissa Joan Hart fans, however, it's a must-see. Since all of the action revolves around the sea and a nearby beach resort, we get to see Melissa in a series of bikinis and wet suits. And in a move which contributes to the mounting evidence that Disney is cooler than they seem, we get to see Melissa's navel ring.

It was also nice to see Tara Charendoff reprise her role as Sabrina's witch friend from "Sabrina Goes to Rome". (I smiled when she said "Frizzle!") It was also kind of weird seeing Lindsay Sloane as a mermaid, although it wasn't until later that I remembered that she played Valerie in the first season of the show.
