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

Top CriticA harmless caper that ought to thrill girls under 12, and offer modest diversion to their parents.

Adorable munchkins or cloying brats? You be the judge.

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.

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.
