    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 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.

    With their perilously wide, Walter Keane eyes, the Olsen twins are cute enough, but compared with other child performers their charms seem forced.

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

  • Leonard Klady Variety (Top Critic)
    The film's underlying sentiment is conveyed effectively, if obviously.

    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.

    Adorable munchkins or cloying brats? You be the judge.

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

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

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

    A paper-thin, predictable family comedy.

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

    Kids will certainly lap it up but adults will guess the plot after five minutes and be left drumming their fingers for the remaining hour-and-a-half.

    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.

    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.
