Featured reviews
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.
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!
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.
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.

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!
Did you know
- TriviaThe movie's title and the witches' spell come directly from Macbeth by William Shakespeare.
- GoofsWhen Norman the dog jumps up at Kelly and she falls back against the mirror, causing it to topple over backwards and break, the glass shatters into tiny fragments. But towards the end of the movie, when Lynn and Kelly are sweeping up the remains of the mirror and tipping them into a bucket, the pieces of glass are much larger.
- Quotes
Kelly Farmer: Remember when fairy tales used to keep me awake?
Lynn Farmer: Yeah.
Kelly Farmer: Well, if we get out of this I'll be awake until I'm 21!
