What Parents Need to Know

About Twitches

Parents need to know that this movie contains mildly scary moments in which a vague, smoky darkness threatens the main characters and causes small fires. The loss of two parents (which happened before the main action of the movie takes place) causes some sadness. A couple of characters display vapid, Valley girl-type behavior.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about what it would be like to find a long-lost twin or sibling. Do you think your personalities would be similar even if you weren't raised together? Families can also talk about what they would do if they suddenly found out they had magic powers. Would you use your powers to help other people or to help yourself -- or both? Do you think they would make you braver, like Harry Potter?

    • My highlights are:
    • Positive messages
    • Good role models

    Fine for the whole family!

    There is a kinda scary part for some little kids. There is a fight, but not a fist one. But all and all, I think it's really good, other than the witchcraft.

    Little bit scary

    Kids under 8 will be scared because of the darkness that is trying to get the twin witches. (twitches) Some good humorous parts.

    its such a really good movie for kids because it has comedy, excitement, and its good for kids also because it doesnt say bad words oofor kids. Ilike that it has very many scenes and there interesting and most of the time funny and it's not your average movie that you idont always watch all the time.

    O.K.

    Twitches the movie was ok but i thought there was too much fantasy and magic in it. There is things in the movie that are so fake that it is kinda not appropriate for this age group. Overall i thought it was pretty good but they didn't have to put so much fantasy and magic in it ... if you dont like that kind of thing.

    One of the best Disney movies!

    READ THE BOOKS!

    This television movie does not even deserve to carry the name "twitches!" The books are called "T*Witches" and the only thing that those two have in common is that some of the characters share similar names! Read the books and you'll see that Thanatos was NOT really that much of a villain, that Karsh and Ileana were not in love with each other, that the twins were much younger when they met, and that coventry was not in a different dimension. Please, please read the books- they're more of a story than this ramshackle chainsaw job could ever be.

    Entertaining.....

    This is a very good movie! It has funny parts and emotional parts and it is very suspenceful. I just saw this movie on Disney's Octoberfest thing and wasn't expecting to much but this movie just blew me away! What are you doing reading my review? Go watch it now!
