Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
The film's underlying sentiment is conveyed effectively, if obviously.
– Leonard Klady,

rotten:
Under the direction of Andy Tennant, the Olsen sisters lay on the icky-poo cuteness with several trowels, often delivering their lines as though they were reciting the alphabet.

fresh:
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.
– Kevin Thomas,

13 Feb 2001
rotten:
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.

rotten:
It's so featherbrained and lightweight, it almost elevates its inconsequence into a style.
