Twitches
Twitches is a Disney Channel original movie starring Tia and Tamara Mowry made in 2005 about twin sisters separated at birth to protect them and their magical kingdom from 'The Darkness'. Twenty-one years later the sisters meet on their birthday and find out they have magical powers and have to save their kingdom and their biological mother from the Darkness before the Darkness finds and kills them and destroys their kingdom. Eight hours after meeting, they master their magical skills, come up with a cheesy chant (Go Twitches, Go Twitches, it's your birthday, it's your birthday) which they say repeatedly, and defeat the true evil of the story--poor writing and SFX. Also, if you're from Wisconsin or Michigan you might recognize an actor in the film from a Bellin Health Care system commercial, which runs quite often to this day and I honestly can't see this poor man as anything other than Thantos from Twitches or the Bellin Health. And yes...his characters name is actually Thantos. I watched this movie when it first came out, and i've seen it many times since and have laughed and pointed out flaws and plot holes for so long...this really deserves the Rifftrax treatment.

Twitches is such a fun choice, especially because the story revolves around the sisters being separated at birth and then meeting again 21 years later on their birthday. That time gap is actually one of the interesting parts of the story because it makes you think about how much can change between childhood and adulthood. When working out exact ages from a birth date and a later birthday or event date, an age calculator can be a handy way to check the difference quickly. You can check one here: https://hisaabage.com/. This would definitely be a fun movie to see Riffed!
