Desertman84 The Olsen Twins - Mary-Kate and Ashley - star in this lighthearted family movie about twin sisters who play cupid for their dad .Tess and Emily Tyler are twelve-year-old twin sisters who is a daughter of a wealthy and successful artist,Maxwell Tyler.Their mother died a few years back and they feel that their father is sad and is in need of a girlfriend.After learning that their father has had several unsuccessful dates,they decide to create a billboard for him overlooking the busy Los Angeles street.After many women applied,their father finds someone.But his work suffered and the agent feels that he needs to get out of any relationship to produce better art. Well,the movie is typical of what the Olsen Twins and they managed themselves to become a successful cottage industry back in the 90's.As expected,it was simplistic,predictable and full of clichéd moments.Their fans know this already but anyone who is not used to their movies might feel discomfort watching it.
FurBallsUnite As with "Our Lips Are Sealed," I found this to be one of the better Olsen movies. The sets are beautiful; then again, Southern California is usually beautiful. Some of the acting is a little cheesy, especially on the character Nigel's part; this is inevitable in most children's movies, however. Overall, this movie is cute and harmless fun with a semi-unique storyline to boot. I give it a 10 in the field of Olsen movies, because I feel that it can't be rated against mainstream blockbusters such as "Crash" or "Braveheart." I would definitely recommend this movie if you're looking for a good family movie that adults and children can tolerate and enjoy.
rickrick1964 This is one of the cutest movies that Mary-Kate and Ashley (Tess and Emily Tyler) have ever made! It's fun and clever and has all the elements that you could hope for in a family comedy! I highly recommend that you see this one if you haven't already because it really demonstrates what talent these two young ladies had at a very young age! The plot of this movie is relatively simple yet it also shows some of the complexities of being an adult (or a child) in today's society! It's one of the best things (projects) that these fraternal twins had done up to that age and it is still a great (and entertaining) movie to watch yet again years later! I highly recommend it! Sincerely, Rick Morris
crash5 "Like OMG! This movie was like so...totally...cool to the max!" NOT!!! Can you say lame or what? This is exactly like all their other movies! (Dead mom, trying to fix up their dad etc...) The twins are the worst actresses ever to cross the screen...them and all their stupid little wanna-be friends that hang around the pool in the movie. That Cody kid and that Tattoo jerk were such little snots. "I did the mix!" What kind of line is that? And what's up with the girls painting their dads face on the billboard...finished it all in one night? That's hard to believe. Most of their lines are generic sayings like, "Cool to the max!" and "Totally awesome!" Whoever was talking about the plot holes in this movie was right! I mean, didn't the kids say how the lady at the cafe had named a sandwich after them? Then when they go in there to eat at the beginning the waitress is like, "Oooh okay. One Tyler Family Special coming up!" and she brings them an ice cream sundae. The whole movie was stupid and not worth watching. Avoid this at all costs!
