IT TAKES TWO

Adorable munchkins or cloying brats? You be the judge. This modern-day hybrid of The Prince and the Pauper and THE PARENT TRAP is a slickly contrived showcase for the professionally cute Olsen Twins, late of TV's Full House. Little Mary-Kate Olsen (or is it Ashley?) plays a street-smart orphan; wee Ashley (or could it be Mary-Kate?) is the daughter of a rich widower (Steve Guttenberg: of this we're reasonably sure). Thrown together one summer under most improbable circumstances, the identical tots set about playing Cupid for Guttenberg and comely social worker Kirstie Alley. Once you've got the premise, subsequent events are as predictable as any episode of the sitcom that launched the twins' careers. We hope they have a difficult adolescence and grow up to be a double-barrelled Drew Barrymore. leave a comment
