It Takes Two (1995)

The movie is about two little girls who try to get a jerk of a fiancée gone and get Diane (Kristie Alley) and Roger Callaway (Steve Guttenburg) married. Wait, so Amanda wants to get adopted by Diane, so that makes her Alyssa's stepsister. Yup, something we've seen before, and also predictable.I do not believe that It Takes Two really knows what it wants to be, the story has pacing issues, with the movie most of the time being a light-hearted comedy with some dramatic parts.The idea is based on THE PARENT TRAP, but except the kids in there are sisters.The movie is just a bit too saccharine for me, there could've been more tension going on instead of the dishonest kids turning what could've been a thrilling remake into a sappy romance. And also more development on Roger and Diane's relationship.The movie has some absurd and annoying acting from the Olsen twins, but they seemed to have gave out some great performances for their young ages in their own way. But the best performances go to Kristie Alley, though I think the director could've had been better with her. Now, don't get me wrong, the movie was pretty interesting, I still love the Olsen twins but they could've been in better projects.

This film is by far the best work of the Olsen Twins. If you think that all Mary-Kate and Ashley movies are girly and lack substance, this movie defies that stereotype. IF YOU ONLY WATCH ONE MARY-KATE AND ASHLEY MOVIE, THIS IS THE ONE TO SEE! Not to mention, of course, this movie has Kirstie Alley in it. What more could you ask? Well, there's more; Do you remember the actress who played Ross Geller's ex-wife, Carol, on "Friends"? Jane Sibbett plays the despicable gold digger Clarise Kensington who's only wish is to get the wealthy Roger Callaway (Steve Guttenburg) and his immense fortune all to herself. The twins play the lovable Amanda and Alyssa - identical strangers. "It Takes Two" is the best movie about twins along with Lindsay Lohan's "The Parent Trap". Definitely the family movie (not the same as a children's movie) of the year. If anything, it won a Kid's Choice Award.

this has to be one of the worst movies i have ever seen, how could you people think that this movie is 5? this is very sad and makes me uneasy about these user ratings. 5?!?!?!?!?! this movie, first of all, had an unrealistic scenario from the beginning. IDENTICAL STRANGERS?!?!?!?!?! how is that possible. the writing is horrendous, and the olsons don't even do anything, they just walk around and see if the two people are going to make out or not. plus, I'm pretty sure they would get their asses sued if they flew a helicopter in and took the girl away from her new LEGALIZED parents, i didn't even watch this movie really, my sister was watching it on TV and i could not believe the little that i saw and i am ashamed that i saw the little i did see

i saw this movie in theaters when i was same age as them at that point. i bought it as soon as it came out on video.This is the BEST movie with Mary-kate and Ashley. And I guess they'll never make a better one.I've seen this movie 30 times already i guess, it one of the best movies for children of age 8-12it's more than worth buying for your kids!!!!!!they'll watch it over and over again(btw , i thought 'Parent Trap' was made AFTER 'It Takes Two' )
