Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 09/01/2009This 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

The most retarded movie in the world. Can you say “Parent Trap copy-cat” ? The Olsen twins are sappy and almost to cute. They can’t act and need a new job. I wonder why Kirsty Alley would stoop this low ? I guess she needed some pocket change. But I wouldn’t take a million bucks to work with those two!

Let me begin by saying I’m not an official member of the Olsen twin fan club, but I love those girls. Now that they’re 18+ I can love them and not feel too dirty about it.
I believe this movie is completely quotable. Come on, think of your favorite quote from the movie and use it on a daily basis. That’s what I do! I burned a hole in the first VHS I owned from playing the same part over and over again.
