The film's underlying sentiment is conveyed effectively, if obviously.

Adorable munchkins or cloying brats? You be the judge.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 3, 2009

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

To quote one of the characters, 'We mustn't! We mustn't!'

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 reasonably good take on a great classic.

I'd rather stick a needle in my eye than sit through this again

A paper-thin, predictable family comedy.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jun 5, 2002

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.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 13, 2001

It's so featherbrained and lightweight, it almost elevates its inconsequence into a style.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 1, 2000

A rote variation on Mark Twain's The Prince and the Pauper that is marginally salvaged by those spunky Olsen twins from ABC's Full House.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 1, 2000

There is little original in the film. Most scenes you have seen countless times before. They even have an old fashion food fight. I thought everyone had gotten tired of seeing them by now.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 1, 2000

Alley, 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.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 1, 2000

It's not a bad little time-waster for the kiddies.
