It Takes Two (1995)
5/10
generally harmless fun
13 May 2016
Amanda Lemmon (Mary-Kate Olsen) is a tomboy orphan. She loves her case worker Diane Barrows (Kirstie Alley) but Diane is single and unable to adopt her. The orphans go to Camp Callaway which is set up by billionaire Roger Callaway (Steve Guttenberg) on the other side of the lake. By chance, Roger is the single father to Amanda's double Alyssa Callaway (Ashley Olsen). Roger is often absent and he surprises Alyssa by bringing back mean-spirited girlfriend Clarice Kensington (Jane Sibbett). Alyssa is further shocked by news of their impending marriage. When Alyssa and Amanda meet, they decide to switch places. After Clarice leaves on a trip, the girls agree to bring Roger and Diane together.

The plot is simplistic switcharoo and conveniently silly. In most of these movie, the twin roles are played by one actress. There is no denying that the Olsen twins are very charismatic. This is generally harmless and predictable. It's great for the little ones. It's way too predictable for older kids.
