Identical twin 9-year-old girls, one a poor orphan, the other a rich heiress, cause confusion when they decide to meddle in their caretakers' love lives in this family-oriented comedy. Amanda (Mary Kate Olsen) is the orphan, a scrappy young girl with no family, relying on the support of her caring social worker, Diane (Kirstie Alley). When Diane brings Amanda to a summer camp, she first encounters Alyssa (Ashley Olsen), the wealthy daughter of the camp's sponsor, Roger Callaway (Steve

The film's underlying sentiment is conveyed effectively, if obviously.
Under the direction of Andy Tennant, the Olsen sisters lay on the icky-poo cuteness with several trowels, often delivering their lines as though they were reciting the alphabet.
A harmless caper that ought to thrill girls under 12, and offer modest diversion to their parents.
Writer Deborah Dean Davis and director Andy Tennant are fully aware of the absolute predictability of their material and therefore make the getting to an inevitable ending as much fun as possible.
It's so featherbrained and lightweight, it almost elevates its inconsequence into a style.
A rote variation on Mark Twain's The Prince and the Pauper that is marginally salvaged by those spunky Olsen twins from ABC's Full House.
Olsens in Prince and the Pauper meets Parent Trap.
Adorable munchkins or cloying brats? You be the judge.
Alas, the Olsen girls are not immediately heart-warming.
To quote one of the characters, 'We mustn't! We mustn't!'
A reasonably good take on a great classic.
I'd rather stick a needle in my eye than sit through this again
A paper-thin, predictable family comedy.
Kids will certainly lap it up but adults will guess the plot after five minutes and be left drumming their fingers for the remaining hour-and-a-half.
Childhood favourite and a classic!

The Olsen twins first big movie is actually watchable. It's predictable, and somewhat like The Parent Trap, but kids will like it.
