This first theatrical outing for the ubiquitous Olsen twins is their take on The Parent Trap meets The Prince and the Pauper. One plays a foster child under the care of a single social worker (Kirstie Alley) whose marital status prevents her from adopting her favorite charge. The other is the neglected daughter of a "bazillionaire" (Steve Guttenberg), who's about to marry a gold-digging socialite (played nastily by Jane Sibbett, Ross's first ex-wife on TV's Friends). The foster kid comes to a charity camp abutting the rich girl's summer estate and--presto--the identical strangers meet, hatch a plan to solve both their dilemmas, and switch identities. Directed by Andy Tennant (Ever After), this PG-rated film features some decent G-rated chemistry between Alley and Guttenberg and surprisingly uncloying performances by Mary-Kate and Ashley. The rating is for mild language. (Ages 5 and up) --Kimberly Heinrichs

Great Family Movie.......2007-03-09

This movie is a must see with your children! Kirsty Ally and Steve Guttenberg have great chemistry, along with the Olson twins. It is parent trap with a twist. We just love it!

"It Takes Two" (actually 4).......2007-01-19

If you love a great comedy that you can really laugh with, you will definitely enjoy this movie. Kirstie Alley, Steve Guttenberg and of course the "Olsen twins" make a great combination for this funny and heart warming movie.

Mary-Kate & Ashley remake Parent Trap [2.5 stars].......2006-07-25

If you've seen Parent Trap (either verion), you've see It Takes Two. It is incredibly predictable. Even so, the girls are cute and the story line has plenty of fun and mischief built into it. Pre-teen girls will especially like this movie. There are some elements for adults - at least parents of children - to enjoy.

One small note of caution: there's a subtle but questionable message in this movie. The wicked soon-to-be stepmother of one of the girls is driven away, giving the story its fairytale ending. As that plays out, the message is sent that its good to humiliate and embarrass those that have wronged us . Of course, the revenge exacted on the villainess is all in fun and somewhat deserved; nevertheless, the revenge message is fairly clear. It presents a great opportunity for parents to discuss with their kids the "Golden Rule."
