Alyssa is the cultured daughter of rich widower Roger... Tomboy Amanda resides in a Manhattan orphanage, where she receives lots of attention from social worker Diane Barrows, whom she adores. 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]

The film's underlying sentiment is conveyed effectively, if obviously. Full Review |

Adorable munchkins or cloying brats? You be the judge. Full Review |

Alas, the Olsen girls are not immediately heart-warming. Full Review |

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. Full Review |

2.5/4 |
A harmless caper that ought to thrill girls under 12, and offer modest diversion to their parents. Full Review |
||
|
A paper-thin, predictable family comedy. Full Review |
|||
|
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. Full Review |
|||
|
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. Full Review |
|||
|
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. Full Review |
|||
|
It's not a bad little time-waster for the kiddies. Full Review |
|||
|
With their perilously wide, Walter Keane eyes, the Olsen twins are cute enough, but compared with other child performers their charms seem forced. Full Review |
