5.0 out of 5 stars my favorite Olsen movie, October 12, 2002

By	Carly - See all my reviews

This review is from: Double, Double, Toil & Trouble [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is my favorite Olsen movie that they have made, mainly because unlike so many of their more recent movies, it has a good plot and a very good supporting cast. The plot sends 7-year-olds Lynn and Kelly on a Halloween night mission to get a magical moonstone from their evil aunt who has cast a spell on their other aunt. Fun for little kids, but also enjoyable for older fans. It's a good movie to pull out around Halloweentime (or whenever) and at 17 years old, I am not ashamed to watch it because it is truly one of Mary-Kate and Ashley's better movies. I guess the reason I think that is because of the stronger recognition of the other characters--they really get a more substantial role in the movie than the surrounding characters in some of MKA's other movies. In this film, you'll fall in love with the endearing gravedigger, the money-hungry yet lovable Mr. N, and the supportive, "take charge" Oscar the Clown. And then you've got the girls' parents--who, for once, actually act like parents. Gentle, loving, good people--and yet they have problems of their own that they must get through as a family. Now you start to get the feel of a real movie with a real plot. Too many of Mary-Kate and Ashley's movies either have them with single moms or dads(which there is nothing wrong with at all, but it got a little repetitive with the Olsens) or completely up-in-the-clouds parents who were practically at their feet doting on them and giving them everything, thus showing the viewer exactly what life is NOT like. This movie is one exception where the casting of the girls' parents is very strong and realistic. After seeing enough of their other films, you may grow to appreciate seeing this. I am a long-time fan of these girls' films--have been ever since their memorable Full House days. But if you're looking for a quality Olsen movie, I'd recommend that you go for the ones from their younger years--this one may be your best bet. But that's only my opinion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Double Double tiol and trouble, November 22, 2002

By	"eseipp" (Raleigh NC) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Double, Double, Toil & Trouble [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I loved the movie. I am a big fan of the olsen twins. I have liked them since they were in Full House as babies. They are so cute and I am going to keep bying their movies until they stop making them. They are such a joy to watch on tv considering all of the bad junk that is on tv these days. I have a 3 year old child who loves the olsen twins as well. she gets me ot go out and buy them when she
sees them advertised on the tv.Elizabeth

5.0 out of 5 stars The twins were great!, April 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Double, Double, Toil & Trouble [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The first time I saw this movie was when it was on television in '93. (So the twins just turned 7) They used a lot of the same type of dialogue they used in To Grandmother's House We Go and Full House, which worked well at that time. They were very sweet and professional. The movie was great! I think this was one of the first times the twins had the chance to show a bit of their own personalities in their acting. For instance, Mary-Kate started to show her quick wit and rough-and-tumbleness when she fooled the witch. It's an entertaining Halloween movie that shows the twins at their best!
