It's Halloween, the scariest and funniest event of the year
but for Lynn and Kelly Farmer something far scarier could
happen because they've just discovered that their Aunt Agatha
is a witch! To make matters worse it seems that Agatha isn't
an especially nice witch either - she has a grudge against
Lynn and Kelly's father and wants to ruin him financially,
and its up to the spirited twins to step in and stop her.
Will they succeed? Or will their evil Aunt Agatha be able
to ruin their Halloween and their family forever?...
Double,
Double, Toil and Trouble
is one of the earliest Olsen twins TV movies. Dating back
to 1993, this slice of kids entertainment offers very little
in the way of amusement for any viewers older than about 10.
The
Olsen's acting is poor, and they look like two pigs - they
really were hit too hard with the ugly stick as babies weren't
they? And the supporting cast don't act much better. Only
Cloris Leachman (playing both aunt Agatha and aunt Sofia)
and Phil Fondacaro (as Oscar) turn in believable performances,
and when you see what they have to play with it just goes
to show how talented they are.
There
are no extras, but then that might actually be a blessing.
I'd
also like to know who the two sweet looking kids on the cover
of the DVD box and DVD menu are. Obviously it's the Olsen
twins, but they look quite sweet given the right makeup and
lighting.
Kids
will probably love this cheesy and rather camp offering, but
their parents are advised to leave the room, for fear of slipping
into a coma.
