Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Very enjoyable film! I watched it back in 1996 and I loved this film. The Olsen twins made great job the same like Kirsty Alley and Guttenberg. After this movie I became a fan of Kirtsy Alley and Olsen twins. One of their best movies. Since then I got it on the tape. I still watch it sometimes and it brings me back to the childhood when I was a kid of 10 years old.It is a simple film about twins that meet and want to change the worlds. Lots of laugh, funny situations and quotes. A summer vacation begin. Nice shots, very good script. A movie to learn from. This film is very suitable for kids. Good actors, cast, screenplay and action! A movie for whole family!

The Olsen Twins take "The Parent Trap" to a new level as they agree to switch places to see how the other half lives. As the stars, they set the tone for the movie and keep it light-hearted throughout the film, with good and evil on both sides of the tracks waiting for them. Guttenberg and Alley turn in excellent performances, as well.This movie is better than the original movie with Brian Keith and Maureen O'Hara, in that they get actual twins to play the girls (although the Disney studios did a great job with Hayley Mills in the starring role). The big difference is that the Olsen twins don't play sisters, but are actual strangers who decide to hook the two adult stars up, one the father, who's a company mogul who made it big in the cell phone industry, and the other, a case worker for Social Services in an orphanage that spends a week at a summer camp built by deceased woman who was married to the cell phone mogul. When you throw in a gold-digging débutante about to catch her man, comedy ensues that even the most heavy-hearted adult can't help but enjoy.It wouldn't be fair to compare this to 1961 without going the other way and comparing it to the film of the same name released three years later than this particular film in 1998. To be honest, I can't see myself comparing it to Lindsay Lohan, because there's a big difference between her and the Olsen Twins in more than just numbers. Well, maybe numbers DO make the difference, because I give this film 8 out of 10, but Lohan only gets 5 out of 10 (and I even like Dennis Quaid, as an actor). And I can't say anything nice about Lohan because I think she's...Well, my mother always told me, "If you can't say anything nice about someone, keep your trap shut!"

IT TAKES TWO (1995) ***1/2 One of the first Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen vehicles, it's a nice little family film which the young and young at heart will enjoy. The story, which seems to resemble that of 'The Parent Trap', has the Olsen twins play opposites in social standings - Mary-Kate, an orphan who lives in a foster system; Ashley, the daughter of a well-to-do millionaire - who cross paths at a summer camp. In hopes of getting a taste of a different lifestyle, they trade lives for the weekend, and their caretakers don't deduce they're both taking care of different girls. The production's whole is not extremely intelligent by any means, but noteworthy Steve Guttenburg and Kirstie Alley are very watchable in their roles.

This is one of my favorite Olsen Twins movie of all times. It starts out when a street tough orphan(Mary Kate Olsen) and her case worker like a big sister(Kristy Alley) go to summer camp, then she stumbles apon a look alike (Ashley Olsen) who is the daughter of one of the richest man in the world. The girls switch places to bring her dad and the case worker together. The only problem he is a engaged to be married to someone else. And that someone is not very nice. The movie seemed very interesting to me because it reminds of Parent Trap and Annie which I enjoyed while getting older. The movie seemed charming and fun.
