Two girls play Cupid for their father with unusual results in this light comedy. Tess and Emily Tyler (Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen) are 12-year-old twin sisters whose father, Maxwell Tyler (Tom A... read more read more...mandes), is a wealthy and successful artist. Maxwell's wife (and Tess and Emily's mother) died some time back, and his daughters think their father is lonely and needs a new girlfriend; however, Maxwell hasn't had much luck getting back in the swing of dating. Figuring their father needs some help, Tess and Emily decide to place a personal ad for him -- on a billboard overlooking a busy Los Angeles thoroughfare. Before long, literally hundreds of women are responding to the ad, and Maxwell finds love again. However, Maxwell's agent (Carl Banks) thinks Maxwell's art has been suffering now that he's once again content, and he tries to break up the lovebirds for the sake of his client's career. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    I guess it was actually okay.

    boring movie, bad acting, and a stupid storyline.... There's alot more better movies out there than this so don't even bother watching this one.

    I used to be slightly obsessed with Mary-Kate & Ashley movies and books. I haven't seen any of these movies in so many years, I'd love to watch them again just for fun :]

    I liked it when I was younger. I distinctly remember one kid named Tess and an attempt to make scrambled eggs in a plastic bag. That's about it.

    meh. the olsen twins. in another straight to video release. and they're all pretty much the same: you've seen one, you've seen 'em all...

    The Olsen twins from Full House made this movie for all the 9 year old girls who thought Full Houe rocked. Too much saccarine for my taste.

    Oh good, it isn't just me that thinks that these movies ARE ALL THE SAME! I think the adults are worse at acting than the twins are (which is pathetic). However, it has... cuteness. Very appealing to preteen sleepovers.

Nine-year-old kids may sit through it and have fun, but nine-year-olds would also eat french fries 23 hours a day if their parents didn't force them to try something more nutritious. Full Review
