A reasonably good take on a great classic.

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

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

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

Adorable munchkins or cloying brats? You be the judge.

The film's underlying sentiment is conveyed effectively, if obviously.

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.
June 05, 2002
A paper-thin, predictable family comedy.
February 13, 2001
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.
