I was a fan and reader of the books, which are awesome. This movie is great- for a Disney movie, a typical Disney movie. It is funny and cute, but that isn't like the books. I could go on and on with comparing- my sister's already heard all I thought as we watched this one and the second movie, and as I'm finishing up the series (going on the 10th book). If they made a movie or three or four (or how many it takes) to go along the books, then I'd like that. Not Disney though.. Heck, even a mini-series if done properly might be okay. But this movie is just not the same as the books. I hate the chant-phrase "It's your birthday, It's your birthday", and so I don't like when they say that. Personally, that's just lame. Tia and Tamara are getting older, but are great actresses but I liked and still like Sister, Sister... but although there acting isn't so bad (though it annoys me when they look at each other and scream... if I'm that scared enough to scream like that, I'm not going to look at my sister then scream...) this isn't their best acting. Sister, Sister to me is more real. So though its a funny, cute and magical movie (though not a lot of magic), I'd read the series that it is based off of if you haven't already. (And the sequel... well I like it more but still, like most sequels based off books, like The Cheetah Girls 2, falls even more away from the books then this first one).

those of you who actually liked this movie must be like 12 or have never read the entire series. So Many things are wrong with it that the entire thing sucked. First of they had Karsh as a grumpy middle aged guy when he is supposed to be a wise elderly mentor for Ilena (Guardian) and the girls (Tracker). Ileana is supposed to be Vain Self absorbed shown easily through her "Catch phrase" for lack of a better term "Call me goddess". They entirely left out half of the cast such as 4/6 members of the 6-pack, Cam's Brother (Dylan), Evan (Alex and Lucinda's Friend), The entire town where Alex was supposed to grow up, Alex's Personality she is supposed to be a skater chick and the like. And also half of the plot line. I personally am insulted that that movie made it do DVD and the halloweentown movies didn't although Halloweentown High was a bit of a stretch it was a necessary fill in for them to continue and Return to Halloweentown was a success.

I really enjoyed this movie. I've read the first novel of the series, and while it wasn't too much like it (I haven't finished the series), I like the movie. If it wasn't based off a series, it would have been very good. It still is. I was hoping it would be more like the series. I'm still a fan of the movie. It's actually one of my favorites. I'm a 22 year-old who loves it. I bought it on DVD. Totally worth seeing. I would have liked to have seen more of their powers that are in the novels, but I'm still happy with it. If you're into fun, witchy movies, you'll like it. Must see. Especially at Halloween. I watch it year round.

The beginning of the movie is too much like the the show that they were in. (Sister,Sister) They are separated at birth, they're adopted, 21 yrs later they meet in a clothes store. But heres the twist, they have magical powers. Pratically the only thing this movie has going for it is its special effects. The landscape of Coventry is just simply beautiful. The acting could use a little work. They were either over-acting or not acting enough. But like every "DCOM" (Disney Channel Original Movie), they have its funny parts. The funniest part on the movie is in the clothing store where Alex is trying to apply for a job. I give this movie 7 stars out of ten. Twitches is kind of a kiddie movie but its a little bit good for adults.
