The movie is about two little girls who try to get a jerk of a fiancée gone and get Diane (Kristie Alley) and Roger Callaway (Steve Guttenburg) married. Wait, so Amanda wants to get adopted by Diane, so that makes her Alyssa's stepsister. Yup, something we've seen before, and also predictable.
I do not believe that It Takes Two really knows what it wants to be, the story has pacing issues, with the movie most of the time being a light-hearted comedy with some dramatic parts.
The idea is based on THE PARENT TRAP, but except the kids in there are sisters.
The movie is just a bit too saccharine for me, there could've been more tension going on instead of the dishonest kids turning what could've been a thrilling remake into a sappy romance. And also more development on Roger and Diane's relationship.
The movie has some absurd and annoying acting from the Olsen twins, but they seemed to have gave out some great performances for their young ages in their own way. But the best performances go to Kristie Alley, though I think the director could've had been better with her. Now, don't get me wrong, the movie was pretty interesting, I still love the Olsen twins but they could've been in better projects.
