This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

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.

As much as I love movie sequels this is one I didn't enjoy, and for various reasons. One obviously is that the first movie was a total disgrace to the series as 80% of the series was thrown out the window. I thought that Disney would be smart enough to stop with the first one and disgrace us TRUE fans anymore, but I was wrong. They went ahead and did a sequel and shredded the series even more by having the girls start college when in the books they're sophomores in HIGH SCHOOL.The next thing they did was have everyone in the Barnes household know that the twins are witches. HHHEEELLLLLLOOO, only David is the ONLY ONE who is supposed to know that girls are witches, even having a maid is TOTALLY out of character. Also having everyone come to Coventry for the wedding was another BIG mistake since the location is a heavily guarded secret among the people of Coventry, that the ISLAND (it's not a dimension in the series but an island near Maine) is shrouded in mist.One of the MOST important things that they completely screwed up was the notion that Aron was possibly alive and not dead. The death of their father was the one thing that kept the twins focused to learn magic so that they could ultimately defeat Thantos at the end of the book series and get revenge for Aron.The second most important thing that got screwed up and really got me hot under the collar was the continuation of the relationship between Karsh and Illyana. I've already commented about this for the first movie, that this should've never happened because in the series Karsh is old enough t be her grandfather. He's also her guardian and helping her learn how to be a protector to the twins.I believe that these movies were nothing but an attempt to give Tia and Tamara a comeback performance. It was Disney's way to introduce them to a newer generation, and they failed miserably. In the "making of" featurette the director said that he searched hard to find twin actors that the audience would enjoy. The best thing they could've done was do what they did with Lindsey Lohan in The Parent Trap remake. This would've been much better for all of us. I beg Disney that the next time you decide to make a DCOM about a book series; you at least use 80% of the series instead of 20%.

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.

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.
