User Reviews

You can wear too much lip gloss...

Now I see why the Olsen Twins' movies are straight-to-video. This was by far the worst Olsen twins movie I have ever seen. They were cute on Full House...even though they couldn't act. But now that they are older it's just a turn-off. I found them extremely vapid and shallow in this movie. They had that whole "oh my god, like , he's so cute" thing going on.

These are the kind of girls that everyone hates in school, or at least I do. Mary-Kate used to be the tomboyish one, but now she has taken along the shallow, boy crazy role that Ashley originally played. This movie has at least one different thing about it...They actually have a mother that is ALIVE!!!

So they find these "like, totally hot guys" and they are going to go to some kind of Spring Break pool party or something by the "hot" guys. But, oh no, they have to go to Paris. Them being the snobby, ungrateful, brats that they are would rather stay at home and go to the pool party than go to Paris. Who do you know would rather to stay in California with some guys that they don't know and go to a pool party than go to Paris?

So then they get to Paris and them being "just so drop dead gorgeous" automatically fall in love with some 'french' guys with phony accents. They have their first kisses, grandpa turns around, they get the once uptight guardian a girlfriend, and they get to go to the dance with the guys of their dreams...typical, predictable, Mary-Kate and Ashley movie.
