    • Quotes

      Diane Barrows: Besides, you don't want to be an orphan forever.

      Amanda Lemmon: So adopt me, why don't you!

      Diane Barrows: They won't let me adopt you on my salary; besides, you deserve a mother *and* a father.

      Amanda Lemmon: So, get a husband.

      Diane Barrows: It's not like buying a car, you know.

      Amanda Lemmon: I know. It's got to be that can't-eat, can't-sleep, reach-for-the-stars, over-the-fence, World Series kind of stuff, right?

      Diane Barrows: Hey, a girl's got to have her standards.

    So cute
    This has got to be one of the cutest movies i've seen. I love the way that they have one rich twin and one poor twin. the best part of the movie is when they are running through the woods screaming and the song hippie, hippie shake is playing. This is the best movie out of the olsen twins collection and i would recommend you see it giving it a 10/10.
