Alyssa is the cultured daughter of rich widower Roger Calloway, and a dead ringer for Amanda. The two girls meet when Amanda attends a camp near Alyssa's home, and they like each other so much that they hatch a plan: to match Diane with Roger, so they can all live together happily ever after. But there's a fly in the ointment -- Roger's witchy, golddigging, child-hating fiancee Clarice. [More]

Reviews for It Takes Two
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.
With their perilously wide, Walter Keane eyes, the Olsen twins are cute enough, but compared with other child performers their charms seem forced.
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.
It's so featherbrained and lightweight, it almost elevates its inconsequence into a style.
