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

Reviews for It Takes Two
Top CriticKids 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.

Top CriticThe 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.
06/18/02
A paper-thin, predictable family comedy.
06/05/02
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.

Top CriticAlley, 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.

It's not a bad little time-waster for the kiddies.
01/01/00
With their perilously wide, Walter Keane eyes, the Olsen twins are cute enough, but compared with other child performers their charms seem forced.
