Overall it's an okay film, but just that - okay.
It tried hard to be another The Parent Trap, bit often falls flat and is very predictable. The Olsen twins are okay in this, but what they Lindsay Lohan did far batter in the remake of the Parent Trap.
Steve Guttenburg and Kirsty Alley are likeable leads you want to get together in the end. His future wife just comes across as completely unlikable.
It doesn't feel like it flows very well as a movie and rushes along, where it needs to have more character development and create attachment/root for the characters.
Of the two children one is quite nice and the other not that likable and often is quite rude - it's almost quite hard to root for her, even though she's trying to get the two leads together rather than with the nasty fiance who he is due to marry!
Overall this film could have better if they paced it better, made it a bit more realistic, not rush the scenes that build up the relationships (you don't really get to spend any time with anyone to get to know them before they move onto the next scene) and overall try to hard to be an identical The Parent Trap.
The big reveal when the poor child reveals she's not the child is just so boring and dispassionate - especially considering she's just revealed she's an identical stranger to the butler (who was the first to know in most of the other films of this type).
It Takes Two tried to be The Parent Trap (without the two parents) but The Parent Trap does it better and with more warmth and better pacing than this wannabe!
