![]() Their eyes always betray a profound sadness known only to overworked child stars. Their parents are usually unmentioned - or appear only in voiceover, divorced, widowed, or dead. More often than not, they play “regular girls” named things like “Chloe” and “Riley” and “Maddie” and “Roxy.” They switch places with regularity. Sometimes they play themselves sometimes they play avatars named “Mary-Kate” and “Ashley” who do not share the real Mary-Kate and Ashley’s overwhelming international fame, a sort of tragic meditation on what their lives might have been. They do share some consistencies: In each, they play twin sisters engaged in some kind of caper. ![]() Each of these 36 films is located on a sliding scale of uncanny, ranging from casually surreal to utterly phantasmagorical. From 1992 to 2004, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen starred in a total of 36 movies. However, I also believe it would be a failure of cultural morality on par with the plot of The Giver if we were to willingly forget about the twins’ archival film work. As a rebuke to being paid to smile with teeth for decades, they now never - never - smile with teeth. They force guests to forfeit cell phones at their intimate weddings to old French men, where they pass around “bowls and bowls” of cigarettes. ![]() They skulk around New York City in massive sunglasses, hiding behind sheets of dripping-wet hair. They speak to only one or two publications a year, exclusively about The Row and how fundamentally horrifying it is when anyone asks them anything that’s not about The Row. In fact, they’ve spent the duration of their adult lives painstakingly detaching themselves from this legacy. Mary-Kate and Ashley do not want me to remind you about this. Which is why I’m here to remind you that, for a very long time, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen were famous for being straight-to-VHS movie stars. However, it has been said that if we do not understand our history, we are doomed to repeat it. These days, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are mostly famous for smoking while leaning against the brick wall outside the office of their shared fashion line, The Row. The films biggest flaw is that it tries to be something it's not, and ends being a pretty boring film and a waste of time in the end.Photo: Emily Denniston/Vulture/Courtesy of the studio/Getty Images This is not a film worth seeing, and it is awful in terms of a family film. Also it's one of those films that haven't stood the test of time as so many other family films have. This film simply doesn't work as effective and memorable family entertainment. This is the result right here, a poorly made film that doesn't belong on the shelf of so many other classic childhood favorites. They had one hit with the TV show Full house, but afterwards they never should have moved into feature films. This just suffers from overused ideas that we've seen so many times before, and the Olson twins are simply horrible. This is an awful film that doesn't work and it is a misfire that is definitely not worth watching. Add to that, poor directing, and overall an uninteresting idea for a film, and you have a film that is sure to fail. Director Andy Tennant can't craft a solid and memorable family comedy and the result is a film that falls flat due to a poor cast and story. ![]() The story is poorly thought out, and the film is packed with predictable clichés and no once of originality to really make this film a lot of fun for the viewer. The lead actresses are horrible, and Mary Kate and Ashley Olson could never act well in the first place. With a very poor cast of actors, this is one of those films that you watched as a kid, and liked, but years later realized how bad it really was. Horrible family film that has nothing good going for it.
