Teen Witch (1989)

Louise, a brainy teenager with a heart as big as her hair, navigates her high school's maze of adolescence, often falling victim to embarrassing incidents and unrequited crushes. Alongside her, her lovable, equally nerdy companion Polly, both of them often overlooked by their peers. But a chance encounter with Serena, a mystical palm reader, reveals a shocking truth: Louise is a witch, destined to inherit profound powers on her looming 16th birthday. Sure enough, as her birthday dawns, Louise discovers her newfound abilities, unintentionally transforming her brother into a dog. She becomes entangled in a whirlwind of magical escapades, including an unforgettable showdown with a group of popular girls and a memorable hip-hop face-off featuring Polly and a trio of wannabe rappers. The allure of her powers proves too tempting as she conjures a love spell aimed at Brad, the high school football captain and her long-standing crush. But Louise’s moral compass forces her to abandon her plan, realizing she yearns for genuine affection over manipulated love. Instead, she devises a new plan: she will use her magic to ascend the social ladder. With Serena acting as her magical mentor and drawing on Louise's newfound powers to add a dash of glamour to her own existence, Louise casts a potent popularity spell. Suddenly, she's catapulted into the limelight, her newfound popularity granting her a passionate rendezvous with Brad. But this intoxicating popularity comes at a cost. The authenticity she longed for is lost in the sea of superficial adoration, and she finds herself drifting away from Polly, her true friend. As she basks in her mass appeal, Louise begins to question whether her magical shortcuts to popularity and love truly align with the life she desires, sparking a profound self-doubt and an internal struggle between power and authenticity.
