Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
Gunnar_Runar_Ingibjargarson It's the Olsen twins to the rescue once again in their straight-to-video release, Billboard Dad. With Venice, California, serving as a Bohemian backdrop, the preteen queens of the dead-mom genre scheme to find their widowed father a girlfriend by turning a Hollywood billboard into a personal ad. Breezy predictability ensues: Dad gets thousands of letters and dates a series of progressively weirder women before bumping into Ms. Right. Since Dad's a successful sculptor, true love destroys the angst behind his profitable art. As his agent tries to drive a wedge between the lovebirds, the twins become unwitting accomplices. All of this just sets the stage, really, for Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen to do their thing--they are way cool, fashionable, and mature beyond their preteen years--with their equally hip friends, who have a drama of their own unfolding on the diving team. Nothing truly unexpected happens, but it doesn't matter. In other words, parents, don't watch this alone.
Amy Adler Tess and Emily Tyler (Olsen twins) live with their widowed father, Maxwell (Tom Amandes) in Venice, California. Maxwell is a sculptor who has thrown himself into his work after his wife's death. Naturally, the girls want to see their father in a happier state of mind. At a friend's suggestion, Tess and Emily repaint a neighborhood billboard with their father's vital information. Women respond! While dad is starting to date, the twins are also going to diving meets. Will Dad find true love, even as the Tyler girls are winning diving competitions?This adorable movie is certain to win the hearts of females, young and old. Amandes does wonderfully in his search for a mate, even when it requires him to go on a string of bizarre and funny dates. Mary-Kate and Ashley are charming and they don't miss a beat of the humorous script. No, it's not Shakespeare. But even Will himself might call this a merry romp. Recommended for those who are tickled to find a romantic, upbeat, family-friendly movie.
Igmar Children's films about real life problems can be very well done and evenly moving and beautiful for both children and adults to watch. This film, however, is not one of them. I can easily forgive the Olsen twins, they are not that bad. But the director and the other actors, especially the one who plays the dad, have done a horrible job. There is not a single subtle moment in the film, in which two girls cope with the loss of their deceased mother and try to lighten up their terribly sad and sobbing father. The story is dreadful and superficial.If you have lost somebody, this film will not help you to get over it or make you feel better in any way. It's too fake. A shipwreck of a movie.
CoolGirl200 This movie is funny with Mary - Kate & Ashley playing Emily and Tess which one is surfer and the other a swimmer. I like the part when they found out that Brooke's son is the skate boarding rival guy and I like too when Cody tell Emily or Tess by mistake that he has a crush on her. But my favorite part is when I we hear the rap of Nigel talking about taking the money of Max. This movie is funny with beautiful girls and cute guys =+)
