What’s the Story?

Reviewed by Maria Llull

Based on the book series by the same name, TWITCHES is about twin girls who are separated at birth and adopted. On their 21st birthday, the girls, Alex (Tia Mowry) and Camryn (Tamera Mowry), run into each other and realize that not only are they twins, but they're also princesses from another dimension, called Coventry. But that's not all. They have magic powers, which they'll need to practice in order to save Coventry from the evil clutches of something called "the darkness."

Is It Any Good?

The Mowry sisters, twins in real life and former stars of the Disney Channel show Sister, Sister, seem very comfortable working together, and each allows the other to have the limelight at the right moments. They seem to be enjoying themselves, and it's fun to watch them discover that they're sisters.

Twitches is tailor-made for the tween and teen age groups, though younger kids may also enjoy it. This is a Disney made-for-TV movie, so nothing heavy or particularly iffy happens, though there are sad moments as the girls each come to terms with the parents they've lost. The scary moments might be a bit much for little kids, but the frequent references to shopping might be what put parents on alert. Why do movies so frequently paint young girls (and women in general) as shopaholics?
