A bland twist on The Parent Trap, this story has two identical-in-appearance girls from opposite sides of the tracks (US TV stars Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen) teaming up to bring their single parents (Kirstie Alley and Steve Guttenberg) together. So cute it will make your teeth ache, it was directed by Andy Tennant, who has since gone on to work with much better material in the romantic comedies Fools Rush In and Ever After. Very missable unless you're a little girl aged six.

A modern, not very interesting, variation on The Prince and the Pauper, which may keep those who can identify with its twee heroines moderately quiet on a rainy afternoon.

superb.........
my daughter's loved this dvd. the story is about Amanda who lives in an orphanage, where her only real friend is her social worker and Alyssa who is the only child of a multi-millionaire.
During one summer, the two girls meet by accident , and hatch a daring plan.
They switch places, and try to get Amanda's social worker and Alyssa's dad to fall in love, before he marries an awful woman.
But when the fiance finds out what is going on, can the girls pull off there plan. watch it to find out. you will not be disappointed. -

Great, Great, Great!
I really enjoyed this earlier film starring the Olsen twins. Kirstie Alley is brilliant. Two identical little girls meet by chance. They swap roles in order to find out what it is like living in the ones shoes for a while.
If you enjoyed The Parent Trap starring Lindsey Lohan then you'll love this too. -

Big success. It seems as if this is quite an early MK and A film, when they "just" had parts instead of controlling the whole thing. As a result (?), this movie is one of the more popular ones with my children.

A Must-See for Olsen fans
This film Olsen twins at their best as two identical strangers who try their hand at match-making. This is a great family comedy, with fun scenes at camp too. It's a must-see for those who enjoy the Olsen films and even if you don't, you might just be pleasantly charmed by this!
