This was so cute, clever, funny, and fun, it made me ask something I never thought I would ask myself: do I need to watch more Olsen Twin movies???

Cute Halloween movie I've watched with my kids for years back in the 90's. If you are looking for a lighthearted movie for fall, you will enjoy this one.

The Olsen twins are at it again - this time though, they're quite a bit younger (made when Full House was still being aired) - about six - yet still manage to put in okay performances despite their young age.

Here the play sisters (*twin* sisters, even!) who run away from their parents whilst trick-or-treating to help their Aunt Sophia, who is trapped inside a mirror thanks to Sophia's twin sister (who happens to be a witch).

Along the way they meet up with Mr. N(Meshach Taylor) and Oscar(Phil Fondacaro) who come along for the ride in hopes of setting their Aunt Sophia free.

Kids seem to like it, Mary-Kate and Ashley would've been complaining and amusing one-liners throughout to keep adults from falling asleep.

Recently rewatched this since my childhood. As a kid I loved it, but after watching it again, it's concerning. First of all, I have major issues with Mr. N: why did they name a black man "Mr. N" and then turn him into a crow later? And then having the little person live in a little house? And how did those girls' parents not notice for the longest time that their children were missing? This movie is actually kinda creepy and disturbing when you think about it. Do not show this movie to your kids if you don't want them to be subjected to racism in film and terrible characters.

I can't believe the negative reviews for this show! This is for LITTLE kids. My kids loved it (2,4,6 and 8). I like that it isn't too creepy, but it still has some magic, mystery and spells so good fun for Halloween. Sure the Olsen twins are a little annoying, but again it's a KIDS movie. I used to watch it every year. Also there was comment about racism and Mr. N, as a kid I never thought of his name, but as far as him being turned into a crow at the the end it's a Halloween movie. Crows are classic Halloween creatures (think Edgar Allen Poe people), Mr. N is also a bit of a pick pocket and so are crows, it's symbolic. Stop making everything negative. As for the adult actors it's fun to see them get so into character, especially Leachman as the witch!

This movie totally made my childhood Halloween! Even now when I watch it I think its a bit lame but its still a sweet movie.

The acting is alright, but in a movie where the stars are under 10, what else can be expected? Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are adorable as the girls in this movie. Despite their age their acting is as good as any 20-something star on a daytime drama and no one really complains about their acting.

Some scenes still make me laugh with my sister when we watch it, and we always rent it for tradition on Halloween. Seriously, it doesn't deserve the bad reviews. Its a sweet kids movie, if you want intensity and drama go watch something else.

How in the world does this movie have only 6 stars on IMDb??

An absolute classic 90s Halloween movies. The Olsen twins kill it per the usual, the costumes and sets are adorable, the perfect mix of kid movie with creepy 90s drama.

Recently rewatched with my 4yo daughter and reconfirmed this movie is an A+ with just one big exception... the casual stereotyping that was so common in these days. There were more than a few cringey moments and it reminded me how appreciative I am that this is no longer the norm in film. Now if real life could catch up.

But I loved this movie in 93 as a little girl and my little girl loves it 23, so that says a lot.

If you're a fan of Mary-Kate and Ashley, you'll love this movie. If you're not a fan, you may think it's not such a great movie, but think twice: there's more to Double, Double, Toil and Trouble than just the Olsen Twins! The movie begins with money problems for the parents of Lynn (Ashley Olsen) and Kelly Farmer (Mary-Kate Olsen). Their only hope is a loan from old Aunt Agatha, but she's very mean. While their parents are visiting Agatha, the girls hear about witches and the moonstone. Aunt Agatha is said to be a witch who locked her twin sister, aunt Sophie, into a mirror, using the moonstone. Of course, Lynn and Kelly decide they want to find it! What's next, is a fun movie, taking place on Halloween, full of adventure for the girls, new friends and magic as well. The storyline may seem a bit childish sometimes, but in the end you'll discover that the girls are right: friends are more important than money. So, in conclusion: a movie Olsenfans will love, but non-Olsenfans should definitely give it a chance!
