Critics' Reviews

50
The New York Times: Dana Stevens
Polished and bouncy without being overly mawkish or unduly obnoxious. Above all, it is short.Read Full Review »

USA Today: Mike Clark
As far as acting goes, neither Olsen is ready for Euripides' Medea, yet each projects well enough in their shared big scene.Read Full Review »

Village Voice: Ben Kenigsberg
The whole project reeks of vanity, but it doesn't take a Columbia degree to see that any movie where the Michelle Tanners trudge via sewer from CPS to 125th is an instant camp classic.Read Full Review »

LOS ANGELES TIMES: Gene Seymour
A coy, frantic attempt at screwball comedy, lightly seasoned and more than a little gummy.Read Full Review »
38
Philadelphia Inquirer: Carrie Rickey
Plays like "Sixteen Candles" meets "Beetlejuice." Yet for all the film's frantic pace, this plot plods, even for 'tweens at whom this suburban-girls-take-Manhattan fantasy is obviously targeted.Read Full Review »

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES: Roger Ebert
The events involving the big speaking competition are so labored that occasionally the twins seem to be looking back over their shoulders for the plot to catch up.Read Full Review »

Washington Post: Sara Gebhardt
Sadly, small humorous bits do not change the movie's generally lackluster tone.Read Full Review »

Washington Post: Ann Hornaday
The effect isn't just frenetic, unfunny and dull. It's kind of creepy.Read Full Review »

Time: Richard Corliss
It's pretty awful.Read Full Review »

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Lisa Schwarzbaum
The movie may be more bogus than a Gucci bag for sale on a Fifth Avenue sidewalk, but at least the backgrounds are real.Read Full Review »
