This is a scary movie(spells, witches, wizards) not due to the Halloween content, but because two little girls run away from home, talk to a stranger (a man who lives under a bridge, then they go into another stranger's house ( a dwarf male clown).
Although these fellows turn out to be nice guys, we all know that this doesn't always happen in the real world.
This movie is a bad message for kids who are supposed to be learning not to talk to strangers and doing things without asking their parents!
Even tho, I have seen this film a lots of times (I'm 19) because I like the adventure.
This is the best film that the Oslen Twins have filmed when they were youny, I believe! I think they where cute and nice when they were kids, now they are in my age 19 years old and they look and act like they are 30! Anyway i'll continue with the movie...
The twin's family are in financial trouble and might have to sell their house, but young twins, Kelly and Lynn decide to try and stop this happening. How in the real world two kids do that? Funny eh?
They discover that their unt Agatha is responsible for their problems as she is rich and won't offer a penny to help them.
The meaning of this adventure the girls started, was to save their mum unt Sofia who was trapped by her twin sister,Agatha, in a mirrow 7 years ago.
At the end they save unt Sofia and trap Agatha in the mirrow,. Unt Sofia is the good sister who helps the family in not selling their house.
It also proves that friends are more important that money, that is all whan I get and like at the end of the story.
I am not sure what is the point of this movie, what message it wants to give us, I understand that frindship is more inmportant from money and family is very important. Maybe that's the message. Each of us who have seen or will see the movie thinks and see different and might think something else that I haven't even thought about.

I see you've posted this as a DVD review, but you've not mentioned the DVD. Are there any extras? If so, what are they and are they any good? If you add to this, or if you change it to be posted as a "Film Only" review, please let me know and I'll re-rate.

I have also seen this movie and I have to admit it was very good as this review is. It is not for children but most for adults who enjoy watching family films. Good Review!
Make way for spells, witches, wizards and adventure! It's Halloween, the scariest, most ... more
