What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this sequel to the popular Disney movie Twitches features plenty of suspense and some brief fantasy violence (fiery spells hurled like weapons, a shadowy image that haunts characters throughout most of the movie, etc.). But none of it is likely to upset tweens. On the message front, a self-absorbed girl experiences personal growth when she learns the value of accepting responsibility and thinking of others. Other than that, aside from frequent references to cell phones and texting among teen girls, there's not much to worry about.
What's the story?
The made-for-TV Disney movie TWITCHES TOO stars Sister, Sister alums Tia and Tamera Mowry as Alex and Camryn, recently reunited twin sisters who are adjusting to their new identities as princesses of the magical kingdom (and alternate dimension) of Coventry. Picking up where Twitches left off, the sequel finds Alex and Camryn settling into the new reality of their double existences, having recently freed their realm from a dark presence. But it soon becomes apparent that their past actions haven't closed the door on evil in Coventry after all. A menacing, shadowy force begins to haunt the girls, as well as their birth mother, Miranda (Kristen Wilson), and it will take courage and faith from the whole family to set the truth free and rid Coventry of evil once and for all.
Is it any good?
Twitches Too is trademark Disney entertainment, combining a well-scripted storyline with clean, family-friendly content. Once again, the Mowry sisters steal the show; their energy and obvious enjoyment of their roles makes the movie fun to watch. Parents can rest assured that there's nothing to worry about here beyond some mild fantasy violence, which shouldn't bother tween viewers at all, and a few characters' cell-phone addictions.
What families can talk about
Families can talk about why stories about magic are so appealing. What would you do with magic powers if you had them? Families can also discuss responsibility and what the characters in the movie learn. What responsibilities have you assumed at home, at school, or as part of a team? How are your responsibilities determined by your various roles?

Puts you in the Halloween spirit!
I always watch this movie around Halloween, it puts you in the scary mode, without being a horror movie, and being totally approprite for older kids, tweens, teens, and adults. I'd really recommend it!

Too scary for my 7.5-year-old
It was too scary for my 7.5-yr-old daughter. The shadowy images that were going after people freaked her out. I left her alone watching it thinking it was fine. She asked to turn it off after 30 minutes.

Definitely recommended!
I loved it just as much as the first! Great role models, great plot, very interesting. As we are very strong Christians we are normally not into all of the magic, however this movie is a different than other magic movies, it is about light defeating darkness. Although the girls are witches they are like the good witch of the north from the wizard of oz, always doing good. The whole family loved it! I would most definitely recommend it!

There is violent content throughout which leads me to say this should be PG.

Twitches Too
Twitches Too is much better than the first. The Movie is very fun-going and has some action (surprising from Disney)But the movie has a few screenplay flaws. Twitches Too is a great sister-sister action movie.
