SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

A Surprisingly Unforgettable Movie!

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

They live in completely different worlds . One girl has estates , a private jet and attends the nicest private schools there is ,yet she doesn't have the most important thing , a family thats always there . The other is an orphan living in new york city's east side with nothing more than a luggage full of worn out clothes ,and a friend who is one of the orphanage directors. Different situations unexpectedly lead them to each other . They carefully scheme well thought out plans to get what they want done . Working carefully together ,they get themselves in some trouble , but in the end , they finally get what makes both their lives happy and complete! It takes two baby!

I thought the movie was cute, but parts of it suck - like the parts that can't possibly be real. I mean, identical strangers? Please!!! And how are two people from completely different walks of life get into each other's parts like they'd been born to it, even if they shared the same gene pool, which Amanda and Alyssa don't seem to? However, the billionaire scenes were quite a sight for sore eyes, and the scenes between Diane and Roger were really romantic. And the twins were really good. Maybe the last part was a little too crude - ripping off the back of the evil stepmother's dress, it kind of spoilt the funny, sweet, and well-done scenes for me. Still, unreal as it is, I guess movies are SUPPOSED to be unreal, that's part of the whole package, the enjoyment of the fantasy or whatever you call it, so in that score It Takes Two was pretty relishable and enjoyable. Mary-Kate and Ashley were, as usual, awesome in the movie. They managed to pull off the whole thing...they, with Roger Calloway and Diane Barrows (I haven't looked at the cast list for the real names yet!) made the movie a fun-filled, worth-watching, sweet little fantasy that most families would miss out if they didn't see. Very cute!

i saw this movie in theaters when i was same age as them at that point. i bought it as soon as it came out on video.This is the BEST movie with Mary-kate and Ashley. And I guess they'll never make a better one.I've seen this movie 30 times already i guess, it one of the best movies for children of age 8-12it's more than worth buying for your kids!!!!!!they'll watch it over and over again(btw , i thought 'Parent Trap' was made AFTER 'It Takes Two' )

When I used to live in LA in 1995 I went and saw this movie in the theatre. Now, given I was 19 years old at the time (and a guy), it seemed a little odd that I would go see this. Of course, that year I saw so many movies that it bordered on the ridiculous. Although Kirstey Alley has had a spotty movie career, I still like her (remember the ridiculous "Madhouse" with John Laroquette?). I have never liked the Olsen twins. I find them almost creepily unattractive and hammy in terms of their acting (this is prior to their growing into pin-up model). Anyhow. When I saw this at the Hollywood Galaxy I was surprised how welldone it was for its genre that relies on heavy-handed cliches. Granted, there are so many standard scenes that have been recycled over and over again. Yet, so many films are like that and that should not negate them from becomingeffective viewing experiences. Alley and Guttenberg are quite believable intheir chemistry, and shocking the Olsen twins are cute (even if they have poor delivery in much of their dialogue). This movie is not groundbreaking, but for its use of conventions it works quite well. Even if you are not a family man/women there is enjoyment in this film.Although the comparison to "Home Alone" is a credibility stretch, it is satisfying if you like that film. I was not sure who directed it until I looked it up and realized it was an Andy Tenant film. He is not necessarily an auteur director, but has had some nice moments in some of his films (which the exception of thedisappointing "Anna and the King;" is it possible to have chosen a less suited director for that film-- Jodie what were you thinking?) Tonight I saw that "It Takes Two" was on HBO Family and decided to watch it. I thought it would be background noise while I did other chores, but I wassurprised to find myself drawn into the film. Everything I enjoyed about it the first time I saw it over ten years ago worked just as well, and sometimes better. Don't discount this film because of the cast, premise, or even a dislike for Tenant. It is a cute movie that is filled with cheesy charm, cliched scenes, but they all work.I am shocked, especially given the tightness of the film, that it didn't do too well. It wasn't a flop, but it seems like it should have launched a feature film career for the Olsen twins; instead, they made their fortune on those awful direct to video sleuth films, and eventually tropical locale movies showing off their budding sex appeal (which I don't really get-- but being gay I guess that negates my lustful desires).Bottom line: See this film if you want some nice cheesy fun and don't mindfamily films. It is a good break from watching "Blade Runner," "Punch DrunkLove," and "Gattaca."8 out of 10n (for the genre....not comparatively speaking with great filmmaking).Thanks for reading the longest, most winded commentary on a simple film thatwill soon be forgotten in the years to come, unless the Olsen's have a film boom with "New York Minute."Note: Non-sequitor.... Watch "Idle Hands" with Devon Sawa and "The Hidden,"a great 80's cop-hunting alien movie with Kyle MacLaughlan.Take care...... blah blah blah Also: Since "Master and Commander" is notreally doing well in regards to its cost.... go see it. It is one of the best films of the year (Peter Weir's triumph).... "21 Grams" and "In America" are also good. If you like unique unique narrative structures not centered around drama and plotspoints, "The Company," Altman's latest is also beautiful. Long-winded guy is now done.... :P
