The Olsen twins come to the rescue once again in their straight-to-video release, Billboard Dad. With Venice, California, serving as a Bohemian backdrop, the pre-teen queens of the dead-mum genre scheme to find their widowed father a girlfriend by turning a Hollywood billboard into a personal ad. Breezy predictability ensues: Dad gets thousands of letters and dates a series of progressively weirder women before bumping into Ms Right. Since Dad's a successful sculptor, true love destroys the angst behind his profitable art. As his agent tries to drive a wedge between the lovebirds, the twins become unwitting accomplices. All of this just sets the stage, really, for Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen to do their thing--they are way cool, fashionable and mature beyond their pre-teen years--with their equally hip friends, who have a drama of their own unfolding on the diving team. Nothing truly unexpected happens but it doesn't matter. In other words parents, don't watch this alone. --Valerie J Nelson, Amazon.com

Two troublesome teen twins finding their dad a date. Does he know? Will it work? What happens at the end? That is all a mystery till you watch this fun-filled family film.
(3and a half stars)
Terrible story and script. Acting is even worse. The lame blue screen 'special effects' are laughable. My 10 year old daughter, who is happy to watch most things, didn't want to finish it.
Avoid.
