There seems to be a significant effort to make a compelling story beyond the disaster that was Halloweentown High. Go to Full Review

4/10
...harmless, mindless, juvenile fare that could pass for any average television comedy of the 1950s or 60s. Go to Full Review

Ed R @JustcallmeER Oct 1 Missing the original characters and any original plot. See more Tiffani L Jun 14 Amazing best ever so cool so good love it See more Jacob P 11/11/2024 This movie shouldn't have even existed. Far as I am concerned, this movie is NOT canon to the narrative! See more matthias s @Thescreenasvor 10/20/2024 "Return to Halloweentown" left me disappointed despite being visually better than its predecessors. The effects were decent enough for the time and type of movie, and the overall aesthetic was just passable, though it improved compared to earlier films. The acting was okay, but the decision to recast the lead felt strange and jarring. What really let me down was Debbie Reynolds' extremely limited screentime; she is the heart and soul of this franchise, and her absence was sorely felt. The plot was predictable but serviceable for a family film, though I absolutely hated the villains. It didn’t capture the magic of the original franchise, and it felt disconnected from what made the earlier movies charming. While it’s arguably better than some entries in the series, I believe it could have been much better if Reynolds and Kimberly J. Brown had returned to their original roles. See more Alec B @AlecMichaelB 10/22/2023 Return to Halloweentown ventures back into the whimsical world of the Cromwell witches with a mix of nostalgia and mid-2000s updates. While the absence of Kimberly J. Brown in the role of Marnie might disappoint longtime fans, Sara Paxton admirably steps into the magical shoes of Marnie Cromwell (who for some reason is now labeled as Marnie Piper). Adding new characters and exploring Marnie's college adventures add fresh elements to the franchise. However, some might find the departure from the original cast disappointing and the final installment provides a more lackluster plot than genuine closure.
