The story follows Julia and Grace, 10-year old twin sisters, who take their dog, Ranger, out for a walk in the forest. As they're walking through the forest, they see a strange area that is covered up with a gold cloak; they unveil the cloak only to discover that it's a portal that their dog walks into and gets lost. They follow Ranger through the portal and, once they enter it, their clothing changes into princess gowns. They find Ranger, who has gained magical powers that allow him to speak like a normal human. However, they quickly discover that this new world isn't all fun and games, and evil lurks. Fortunately Grace employs her magic to help them escape in the nick of time. When they return, they question whether their experience was real or imagined.
Other than the talking dog, this plot is completely relatable and develops in a logical way. The camera work was good. I especially like the distant shots. Grace Johnson and Julia Johnson play the protagonists, Julia and Grace, and are quite adorable. They are fun and adventurous and quite enjoyable to watch. This is a family project with their mom, Jay Johnson, the writer, director and producer. (The girls are co-writers) I like the special effects, particularly the entrance into the portal. I like the pink and purple princess gowns and tiaras - they remind me of Disney princesses. This takes place in modern day time in a magical enchanted forest. The background music is very fitting and adds a bit of a magical touch to the film. My favorite part of the film is when Julia and Grace enter the portal and automatically are decked out as princesses.
The film's message is that adventure is worthwhile in itself.
I give "Sisterettes Magical Adventure" 3.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 to 12. By Hafsa H., KIDS FIRST!
