Wonderful character development!

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

This is one of the cutest movies that Mary-Kate and Ashley (Tess and Emily Tyler) have ever made! It's fun and clever and has all the elements that you could hope for in a family comedy! I highly recommend that you see this one if you haven't already because it really demonstrates what talent these two young ladies had at a very young age! The plot of this movie is relatively simple yet it also shows some of the complexities of being an adult (or a child) in today's society! It's one of the best things (projects) that these fraternal twins had done up to that age and it is still a great (and entertaining) movie to watch yet again years later! I highly recommend it!

Tess and Emily Tyler (Olsen twins) live with their widowed father, Maxwell (Tom Amandes) in Venice, California. Maxwell is a sculptor who has thrown himself into his work after his wife's death. Naturally, the girls want to see their father in a happier state of mind. At a friend's suggestion, Tess and Emily repaint a neighborhood billboard with their father's vital information. Women respond! While dad is starting to date, the twins are also going to diving meets. Will Dad find true love, even as the Tyler girls are winning diving competitions?This adorable movie is certain to win the hearts of females, young and old. Amandes does wonderfully in his search for a mate, even when it requires him to go on a string of bizarre and funny dates. Mary-Kate and Ashley are charming and they don't miss a beat of the humorous script. No, it's not Shakespeare. But even Will himself might call this a merry romp. Recommended for those who are tickled to find a romantic, upbeat, family-friendly movie.

Children's films about real life problems can be very well done and evenly moving and beautiful for both children and adults to watch. This film, however, is not one of them. I can easily forgive the Olsen twins, they are not that bad. But the director and the other actors, especially the one who plays the dad, have done a horrible job. There is not a single subtle moment in the film, in which two girls cope with the loss of their deceased mother and try to lighten up their terribly sad and sobbing father. The story is dreadful and superficial.If you have lost somebody, this film will not help you to get over it or make you feel better in any way. It's too fake. A shipwreck of a movie.

After the passing of Full House, a couple of not-so-great kiddie films and a second failed TV show on TGIF, it's good to see that the Olsen Twins can still make the good stuff happen on the screen.Billboard Dad is the story of two girls who try desperately to hook their single father up with a gorgeous gal. What better way to achieve this by . .. advertising on a billboard? Cheesy? Maybe. Anyway, the course of true love never did run smooth, and so the romance that is to spark between the twins' dad, Max, and his new girlfriend, Brooke, is not free from obstacles. First, there is Brooke's son, Ryan, who at first the twins have trouble getting along with. Later on, the twins befriend Ryan and they team up to tackle the next obstacle - Nigel - Max's maniacal money-minded agent. Together, the three come up with an intelligent scheme and . . . well . . . I don't wanna give away the WHOLE thing!Bottom line . . . this movie doesn't have a cheesy script - it's quite realistic. One can see that the Olsen twins are more than just two cute faces but actually have some talent too. It's a great family movie and I recommend it.
