Reviews for It Takes Two
Alas, the Olsen girls are not immediately heart-warming.

Adorable munchkins or cloying brats? You be the judge.

Alley, who is one of the best comic actresses around, does her best to liven things up, but this movie belongs to the kids. In general, she's fighting a losing battle.

Top CriticTo quote one of the characters, 'We mustn't! We mustn't!'

Top CriticThe film's underlying sentiment is conveyed effectively, if obviously.
08/03/09

It's so featherbrained and lightweight, it almost elevates its inconsequence into a style.
