Customer Ratings & Reviews

Although Sara Paxton is good as a childrens' show actress, her role as Marnie was disappointing... but then again, anyone in the replacement of Kimberly J. Brown as Marnie would be. The character of Marnie was distinctly different. Marnie was known to be the stubborn, sarcastic, and rebelliously determined girl. This new Marnie was sweet, peppy, and innocently curious. As a movie on its own, it was alright. The storyline was interesting and kids would like it. But as a Halloweentown movie, it was sad to see a new Marnie and hardly any Grandma Aggie. (The old Marnie-Aggie combination was golden of the other Halloweentown movies). It lost a lot of humor this way. Luckily, there was the same Dylan and Marnie's mother, so that helped it stay connected to the previous movies... but I feel that this movie also threw in random details about the Cromwell lives that makes one think straight-up "whoa... that was really random" In the previous three movies, never was the Cromwell family past brought up, but in this one it was crucial to the plot. Overall as a Halloweentown fan, I wasn't thrilled with it...and though it was an okay movie, I would not recommend it for fans.

Wonderful for kids and adults alike very enjoyable and packed with extras.
