When i first saw the trailers of this film, i was expecting it to be bad and awful but i was wrong. I've seen the firs twitches and i liked that one a little better. It seemed that the acting and plots were much better. Twitches 2 is still a great movie to watch but not better than the first one. This one seemed a little too short and kind of rushed into some parts. There were lots of cool magic scenes and amazing special effects. One of my favorite parts in the movie is when the twins were going to the castle than they went into the car and got automatically transferred to the castle, the special effects looked cool. They were both screaming and it was jokes.
After saving the world, twin witches Alex and Camryn discover that their father may be alive in the shadow world. They need to return to the magical realm they were born in, which is in danger. Only the darkness and the sinister figure that hides in it still pursue them and will do everything to prevent the two from saving their enchanted world and especially their parents, the true sovereigns.
Very cute, the film continuation of the witch twins, that mega simple-minded production, dubious technical quality, a silly script, infinitely inferior to the first, what saves are the jokes and attempts to be funny, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but it's still cute though very silly...

Rather than darkness, these twin witches are stalked by shadows in this sequel. Is it evil or good reaching out? And can the family overcome their differences and work together?
Rarely is the sequel better than the original, but Twitches Too is at least as good as the first movie. Almost the entire cast returns, building on what they started in the first movie. The characters and their choices are more complex and unpredictable. This adds a new level of mystery and conflict within the family. There is real suspense during the climax as we don't know who is right and which decision is best. This movie felt more mature and serious than the first, and once again, Tia and Tamera play their characters flawlessly.

Twitches too is definitely better than the first. It has better story, better character development and better hair and style! The story of twitches too is more intriguing that it leads you to further explore the magical kingdom of Coventry and the interrelations of the characters. And a lot more of suspense and mystery have been added to the development of the story too. It keeps you wondering what happens next. And of course it has that magical elements that make you go wow from time to time. Tia and Tamera mowry are as fabulous and amazing as they were in the first, and with better hair and style. Their performance is genuine in their respective roles. Their birth mother Miranda on the other hand seems less convincing to me this time. I don't know if it's the way she speaks or the way she looks in the movie. I was just not buying her. The twins' magical guardians Karsh and Ileana are still funny, although Ilena was replaced by a different actress, the performance was consistent and the chemistry with Karsh was still there. Most of the supporting actors in the movie played their parts well, except for a few I don't know why they are in the movie in the first place, like Camryn's ex-boyfriend and her gossipy friend. I think they're there as nothing more than fillers. And Cameryn's new crush, Demitri the Coventry servant in disguise didn't do much for the plot line either. In my opinion they could have either removed the part of Demitri or developed more. The visual effects seemed to have improved from its first. For sure they're still not up to par with the current Hollywood sci-fi movies you see in the theater, but then again this is only a Disney original TV movie, what more can you expect? For a low-budget movie like this, I think they've achieved the best they can. Overall this movie is better in terms of its story, characters, visuals, etc. It's a fun and imaginative movie that kids, teenager, and the whole family can all enjoy

This movie kinda disappointed me. I wanted it to be longer, and better acting. Though the plot line was pretty good, it became boring at times. Tia and Tamara are wonder actresses, like on Sister, Sister, but they weren't so great on this movie. There performances were "dry". I just hope if they make a 3rd one, which would be kinda bad, I hope they do this one much better. I love most of the characters, some of them were pointless, like Demitri, didn't know why they let him on it, what's the point? Anyways, this movie was pretty good, though pointless at times, but I still give the movie points for trying. So it wasn't as good as the first, but most of the sequels of movies aren't good, almost at all. But this movie is worth watching a few times, but after a few times, it does get boring, so I won't be watching this movie as much as I will for the first one.

Twitches was an amazing series of books. The movies are an awful series of disappointment beyond your wildest imagination if you actually read the books.
These movies couldn't be further from what made the books great. There was no point in even calling these movies Twitches. They're so vastly different from the books. I remember being so excited as a kid that they were making these books into movies, and literally crying when I watched them out of sheer anger and and betrayal of Disney Channel.
Someone should have shoved the books up the screen writers and directors a**es and they'd have a better idea then about what this series is actually about than they probably do even now.
These films helped me learn about disappointment, and I still need therapy to this day. F these movies.

This movie seems to capture some of the magic of the Harry Potter series. And while that movie series isn't the best set of movies around, they certainly aren't bad. However this incarnation of magic is not really worth remembering. And that isn't a joke.
It already starts out with the twins attending a university. Both of them meet hunks they like (which is usual for a teen girl drama flick). However, a mysterious gas tries to set things apart. And somehow it ends up wanting to destroy the world (of course) and it wants daddy dead.
The magic powers seemed rather pointless and I have witnessed better romantic interests between characters in Space Jam. Suffice to say, this wasn't produced very well. But at least they kept within budget. "D"

The first time i saw this movie, i fell in love with it. Coventry is beautiful and the special effects were even better in this movie than the first one. Tamera did an incredible job as Camryn and Tia shined as Alex and she had the best subplot. Miranda, Thantos, Illena, Karsh, Emily and David and Aron were amazing. Aron, the girl's father is one of my favorite characters and Alex is my absolute favorite. This movie did have scary moments but that was the best part of it. This movie would be good to watch on halloween and i recommend anybody to watch it. If you want to watch a mystery and fantasy movie or a magical romantic comedy than this movie is for you. I give this movie a 10/10 rating.

I anticipate the most benign feeling of deja vu when reviewing Twitches Too because it would seem all my criticisms and talking points from my review of the original Twitches will be reiterated. In short, this has been a collectively mediocre franchise from the start, with very little brains in its head or feet in its shoes. If there must be a Twitches Three in a later point in time, whether or not it included Tia and Tamera Mowry, I can only hope it goes in a better direction, preferably one I choose.
The direction I'd like for something like this would be a film that relies more on the characters of Alex and Camryn rather than the witchcraft and the modest special effects Disney employed in 2007. The direction I'd buy would be a film that respects the potential charisma of its leads and possibly utilize them in a film that shows the tribulations of fitting in in the modern school system. It's tough as a human - imagine being a witch. Instead, Twitches Too takes the same route as its predecessor, repeating almost an identical plot, capitalizing off of the pretty basic talents of the sisters Mowry, and making for easy-digestible but wholly unsubstantial, unremarkable contemporary Disney Channel-fare.
Tia and Tamera Mowry return as Alex and Camryn, two ordinary teenage girls who are really witches, born in the Coventry then separated at birth. The first film was about them reuniting and cooperating with the fact that they are indeed sisters. The sequel focuses on them now very well acquainted with the witch-life and how they go about pursuing their directions. Camryn wants to embrace the life of being a witch, while Alex prefers a calmer future with college and a career in mind. However, both their agendas are rocked when they learn that their father, who was said to have died in the Shadowlands of the Coventry may now still be alive and waiting for their return.
Here's where I anticipated deja vu in saying that Twitches Too suffers from the same issues as the original. First off, the concept of witchcraft simply isn't that interesting. At least when Disney handles the material. This is the third time I've tried to see Disney do a film with witchcraft at the center, the first time being Hocus Pocus followed by the original Twitches. The concept is very dry, the material is dark and directionless, and witch characters usually revolve around a sort of "look how weird I am" kind of mentality.
And once more, I hate to say, but the Mowry sisters really don't have characters or any special talent here. Their acting is uniformly flat and they are given so little to do it should be considered a personal insult on their behalf. They exist in that vacuous chamber Disney Channel throws their young stars and starlets in. The chamber has little room for creativity and usually possesses numerous film roles that offer no depth or substance. The Mowry sisters may be talented in serious roles, but watching them in a Disney Channel movie flatter than the ground we walk on is hardly the basis to judge their true talents on.
Starring: Tia Mowry, Tamera Mowry, Kristen Wilson, Pat Kelly. Directed by: Stuart Gillard.

I read that this movie is based on books. I haven't read them but I can't imagine that the books are as bad as this story! The first part was already very bad that I thought this can't get any worse but Disney proved me wrong. In the first part I already had trouble with the characters of the twins they were super cringy. In the sequel they are even more one-dimensional. They are supposed to be princesses of Coventry but only one of them is only half concerned with it, the other ignores her origins and is only super focused on her new york life without even looking back at her birth country. This movie takes place 2 years later so you would think that they would know each other and their birth country a bit better but the writers didn't understand that.
What also bothered me about this movie were the following cliché points:
-Father turns out to be still alive (so boring and extremely predictable)
This movie was just extremely predictable that it is boring. Even for a children's movie, I don't think anyone put any effort into this that Disney just thought of easy scoring.

Twitches Too was just as great-if not better-than the first! The acting was enjoyable and the sisters chemistry was awesome. The directing, special effects, and just overall movie was extremely improved! From beginning to end it's a fun adventure movie with a lot of heart.
It's really just a fantastic movie for Halloween.

Some will argue, but it is better than the first. Where the first lacked, the second picked up and went with it. You still had the fun and innocence, cuteness the first had but the first lacked action. Twitches Too, had a lot more action in it and it really made it speed along and a lot more fun. I love the first, but this one was definitely an improvement. Coventery though needs more exploring, but other than that it was a lot of fun with the darkness coming back. Just plain old, silly and guilty pleasure Halloween goodness. Tia and Tamara are great as the girls They bring the most fun to the series with their great chemistry. Also, I liked seeing the mortal friends take part in the action and Ellian and thing, getting married was cute.

If you were in Alex position, what would you have done? I definitely believe that God gives us signs when we need to make a difficult decision, but it's your responsibility to interpret the sign. Alex was very eager to retrieve her father from the shadowlands that she did not question motive when the magic book opened up to a transferring spell. Overall, she was right and I'm happy the family was able to reunite with each other. I would like to know why the actress of Ileana was changed? Also, how did the father feel about the mother marrying his brother because she thought he was dead? I know normally in kingdom's the next man family member would have been next in line to be king, is that what happened in this case.
