Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
kclambeth Well firstly lets just remember that it is just a 'kids' show and so therefore it's not going to be the most challenging programme ever.Two of a kind was rather likable, not to be taken too seriously and just a bit of fun. I watched this on Nickelodeon when i was growing up (i'm about the same age as the Olsen's and also a twin!) Kevin and Carrie were charming and Paul was hilarious; Mary-Kate and Ashley are irritating at times but i wouldn't say they were bad actresses. As for the comments about them wearing loads of make-up and dressing like tarts; i don't see any difference to what other girls are wearing in other US teen shows like '8 simple rules's Bridget' or anyone in the dire 'Hannah Montana.' The only annoyance for me was the way the whole 'twin' thing was played. They were the complete opposite? Yeah right! No-one ever got them confused even when they were wearing similar clothes; my sister and I look less alike than they do, yet people confuse us all the time (which i hate)and they made it sound like being a twin was great when really it can be a huge pain and a lot of competition.
julychang89 I think this show is quite good and funny! I've seen it by chance when it was transmitted on Disney channel and, though I'm a teenager, I thought it was very nice. The main problem is that it is too short (and I don't know why!), so if you want to see it for long time you'll finish with learning by hearth all the episodes... In general Ashley and Mary-Kate are good in acting and dialogs with other role are very genuine. Also the father's role is very good acted and good personified. There are many stereotypes about the "preteen age" but after all this is a normal sitcom that is pleasant to watch and that will make you laugh.
blonde_ambition Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen formed Dualstar entertainment group when they were six-years-old. Now 18, they have not churned out a single good project. Save one thing: Two Of A Kind. Two Of A Kind is about 12-year-old twins called Mary-Kate (Mary-Kate Olsen) and Ashley (Ashley Olsen) (how imaginative) who are raised by their dad, Kevin (Christopher Sieber) after their mother dies. Mary-Kate is a tomboy who spends most of her time playing sports and hanging with the guys. Ashley is a prim and proper girlie girl more interested in what's in Vogue, and dating boys. Their dad, Kevin, is a college professor who hires one of his students, Carrie (Sally Wheeler), to take care of the twins whilst he's not there. Produced by the Olsens', this was meant to be a starring vehicle for them, however, the show really belongs to Christopher Sieber and Sally Wheeler. They have fantastic on screen chemistry and get all the funniest lines and are much more entertaining to watch then the twins who the show is meant to be about. This being the only decent thing to come from Dualstar and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, it was cancelled after only one season. However, if only to watch the brilliant Christopher Sieber and Sally Wheeler, catch some of the re runs. Two Of A Kind is a funny and entertaining show.
wishkah7 It's no wonder 85% of people who live in the Western Hemisphere grew to hate The Olsen Twins! It's because they've been in all these lame comedy movies and sit-coms! (Maybe they should try being in a drama, perhaps?) Like this one, Mary-Kate and Ashley play these stereotypical boy crazy, trendy, and precocious pre-teens who live with their dictator-like Dad. And he hires a baby sitter who just so happens to be a college student of his. It always seems like the Dad and the student are going to get together and the twins always have some sort of scheme and they're caught before they can get away with it! There's also a ne'er-do-well uncle. Hardy! Har! Har! This show was cancelled only after one season. So that tells you something right there. Why is it that Mary-Kate and Ashley always have to act like boy crazy trendies in all of their movies and shows? Why? Because society believes that that's the way teenagers should act! People have got to learn that not all teenagers are boy/girl crazy, trendy, popularity hungry, want to date a cheerleader/football player, wear designer clothes to school, and wear plaid pajamas to bed! When I was a teen, I was more into actors and rock singers! I didn't even want to look at any of the boys at my school! Two of the Kind is strictly for the disillusional! Run as fast as you can from this garbage!
