It Takes Two (1995): Dir: Andy Tennant / Cast: Ashley Olsen, Mary- Kate Olsen, Steve Guttenberg, Kirstie Alley, Jane Sibbett: Shameless remake of The Parent Trap about teamwork and collaboration between two scheming girls who happen to be twins. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen will obviously play opposite. One belongs to a wealthy household who arrives home to the news that her father is engaged to a snob. The other is an orphan sent to summer camp with her caseworker. The camp is located across the lake and both girls switch places to match her father up with the case worker. Directed by Andy Tennant with beautiful photography. Story is predictable and corny with Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen rehearsing The Parent Trap. Is it any surprise that they accomplish their mission? Kirstie Alley and Steve Guttenberg have done better and will hopefully get over this pothole of a film. Jane Sibbett plays the snotty new woman whom Guttenberg feels the need to profess marriage to. These films are a dime a dozen and are aimed at young girls who will hopefully grow up to understand what a crock of sh*t this xerox charade really is. The film's purpose is to cash in the popularity of the Olsen twins who gained major popularity in the sitcom Full House. On the big screen they seem very small outside their sitcom universe. After about fifteen minutes of this then nausea should kick in. Score: 3 / 10
