It's our third trip to Halloweentown, although almost the entire movie is spent in the human world. This movie takes the idea of the foreign exchange student program to a whole new level. Marnie organizes for monsters and creatures from the Halloweentown world to attend school in the human world. We're introduced to a group of fun new characters. Similar to the first Halloweentown, the weakness of this film is its villains. There isn't anything the least bit frightening or original about them, nor is there anything surprising about their motives. What makes this movie enjoyable is watching the Halloweentown teens learn how to get along in the human world and find common ground with their human classmates. The romantic side stories are a nice addition. Marnie's new love interest is genuinely likable and you can't help but root for the guy. There have been many moments during this series that have made me think of Harry Potter and this movie has some more like that, and it's not a bad thing.
