Such a fun film! I remember watching this film as a kid and I remember how fun and cute it was. I love Mary-Kate and Ashley and there is amazing chemistry between them and all of the adults in the film. This film is such a cute and cheesy film and I consider it a classic.

Amanda Lemmon (Mary-Kate Olsen) is a tomboy orphan. She loves her case worker Diane Barrows (Kirstie Alley) but Diane is single and unable to adopt her. The orphans go to Camp Callaway which is set up by billionaire Roger Callaway (Steve Guttenberg) on the other side of the lake. By chance, Roger is the single father to Amanda's double Alyssa Callaway (Ashley Olsen). Roger is often absent and he surprises Alyssa by bringing back mean-spirited girlfriend Clarice Kensington (Jane Sibbett). Alyssa is further shocked by news of their impending marriage. When Alyssa and Amanda meet, they decide to switch places. After Clarice leaves on a trip, the girls agree to bring Roger and Diane together.The plot is simplistic switcharoo and conveniently silly. In most of these movie, the twin roles are played by one actress. There is no denying that the Olsen twins are very charismatic. This is generally harmless and predictable. It's great for the little ones. It's way too predictable for older kids.

Very enjoyable film! I watched it back in 1996 and I loved this film. The Olsen twins made great job the same like Kirsty Alley and Guttenberg. After this movie I became a fan of Kirtsy Alley and Olsen twins. One of their best movies. Since then I got it on the tape. I still watch it sometimes and it brings me back to the childhood when I was a kid of 10 years old.It is a simple film about twins that meet and want to change the worlds. Lots of laugh, funny situations and quotes. A summer vacation begin. Nice shots, very good script. A movie to learn from. This film is very suitable for kids. Good actors, cast, screenplay and action! A movie for whole family!

IT TAKES TWO (1995) ***1/2 One of the first Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen vehicles, it's a nice little family film which the young and young at heart will enjoy. The story, which seems to resemble that of 'The Parent Trap', has the Olsen twins play opposites in social standings - Mary-Kate, an orphan who lives in a foster system; Ashley, the daughter of a well-to-do millionaire - who cross paths at a summer camp. In hopes of getting a taste of a different lifestyle, they trade lives for the weekend, and their caretakers don't deduce they're both taking care of different girls. The production's whole is not extremely intelligent by any means, but noteworthy Steve Guttenburg and Kirstie Alley are very watchable in their roles.
