Resistance is futile! The Olsen Twins are everywhere, and you better get used to it, especially if you have a daughter between the ages of 4 and 10. Now they're not only taking over the U.S.; they've moved on to the city of light, Paris. Unlike their series (in which Mary-Kate and Ashley play themselves), in this latest venture they play fictional alter-egos in the form of superficial, boy-crazy, 13-year-olds. Their movie mom worries their world is too small and the girls are shipped off to Paris to visit their grandfather, the U.S. ambassador to France (yes, you read that right). He doesn't have much time for them, so he prepares a daily itinerary and forces an associate, an aspiring junior version of himself, to accompany the girls. But leave it to those wacky gals: within a few days, he's partying along with them and their newfound French beaus (played by young cutie patooties who have the worst French accents this side of Hee Haw). The movie is harmless enough, and despite a pervasive materialism in Olsen fare, loyalty and friendship are at the forefront. The French locations are gorgeous and enticing. (Ages 4 and up) --N.F.

5 stars
This movie is a very fun movie to watch. I'm 16 and still love this movie. To the comments of them being rude and snotty, I never saw that. With the not wanting to eat the food, that's the whole point!! Their parents sent them there to experience things! They saw French cuisine, and remember: they're 12 almost 13! They won't be expected to be open-minded when it comes to new food. They portrayed 2 teen girls who wanted to have fun and a great experience in France! This movie is an excellent buy and I'd recommend this movie to anyone, young or old.

"Bon Jour, Bon Jour, Bon Jour, Oh My G*D!" ~ "Tres Magnifique Journey"
I know, you don't have to say it. My G*d it's the Olsen twins, what are you thinking? You're right, Mary-Kate and Ashley are, as always all-knowing, overly cutsie, predictable, trite and juvenile. Every one of their movies is basically the same story set in a different location. Again, all true. However in this one particular film for some reason the formula works.

Join the Olsen twins as they take Paris by storm when they visit their Ambasador Grandfather in the "City of Lights". Aided by a superior supporting cast for a film of this genre you'll be surprised how enjoyable this movie is. My daughter fell in love with this movie years ago and now eighteen, she still watches it. Putting all rational, intellectual criticism aside, this is plain and simple a fun, carefree movie that can be enjoyed by young and old alike!

Wonderful supporting performances by Matt Winston and the lovely Yvonne Scia.

Good in a bad way, or bad in a good way? by Elissa, 13
This movie kind of gave me mixed feelings. There were many good things and many bad things about the movie, and I will list a few of them:
THE BAD!
-Their parents decide that their daughters get a foreign vacation many people dream of because the daughters have no lives. (WTF?)
-Melanie and Allyson(MK & A) acted like snots in this movie by always being obsessed with popularity, their looks, and boys, and also getting away with spit-takes and sneaking out.
THE GOOD!
-The music was very illustrative to the scenes it was in and added lots of emotion to certain parts.
-In most of the movie, MK and A were very cute and fun. I loved the ending at the dance when the MK & A kiss the French boys at the dance, especially with the song they played, because I think that added a lot of feeling to the scene.
Okay, so those are my reasons. 3 stars. Ain't too bad, since some of their other movies were better.
