A Road Trip for a set of adorable twins!

Julie and Sarah (the Olsens) live with their pretty mother in a large city. Mom is a single mother who struggles to survive on her salary as a convenience store manager. One day, the twins hear mother complain to a babysitter that her two girls are a "handful" and that she would love to have a vacation without the duo in tow. Well, okay. Julie and Sarah decide to give mother what she wants by going to their grandmother's house in New Jersey. They pack and run. Fortunately, they are aided by the help of a delivery man who is sweet on their mom. Unfortunately, a couple of thieves steal the van with the twins inside. How can this turn out happily?

This is such a sweet little movie. The very young twins are almost as charming as Shirley Temple and there are two of them! Mother is pretty, the hero is good looking and funny, and the rest of the cast is quite adept at moving the story along with humor. Children should be cautioned that not everyone in the world is as friendly or just as the people who aid Julie and Sarah, however. That said, this is a movie that will please families who are looking for entertainment around the Holidays. Just board the sleigh with the twins and take a road trip of giggles.
