what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

"Like OMG! This movie was like so...totally...cool to the max!" NOT!!! Can you say lame or what? This is exactly like all their other movies! (Dead mom, trying to fix up their dad etc...) The twins are the worst actresses ever to cross the screen...them and all their stupid little wanna-be friends that hang around the pool in the movie. That Cody kid and that Tattoo jerk were such little snots. "I did the mix!" What kind of line is that? And what's up with the girls painting their dads face on the billboard...finished it all in one night? That's hard to believe. Most of their lines are generic sayings like, "Cool to the max!" and "Totally awesome!" Whoever was talking about the plot holes in this movie was right! I mean, didn't the kids say how the lady at the cafe had named a sandwich after them? Then when they go in there to eat at the beginning the waitress is like, "Oooh okay. One Tyler Family Special coming up!" and she brings them an ice cream sundae. The whole movie was stupid and not worth watching. Avoid this at all costs!

The 2 cutest kids in the world decide to help their dad rope in a mate by advertising his stats for all the world to see....much to dad's chagrin. Naturally, this leads to adventures for the girls and romance for dad. The usual stuff from the Olsons': in other words, no great shakes, but a fun time just the same.

After the passing of Full House, a couple of not-so-great kiddie films and a second failed TV show on TGIF, it's good to see that the Olsen Twins can still make the good stuff happen on the screen.Billboard Dad is the story of two girls who try desperately to hook their single father up with a gorgeous gal. What better way to achieve this by . .. advertising on a billboard? Cheesy? Maybe. Anyway, the course of true love never did run smooth, and so the romance that is to spark between the twins' dad, Max, and his new girlfriend, Brooke, is not free from obstacles. First, there is Brooke's son, Ryan, who at first the twins have trouble getting along with. Later on, the twins befriend Ryan and they team up to tackle the next obstacle - Nigel - Max's maniacal money-minded agent. Together, the three come up with an intelligent scheme and . . . well . . . I don't wanna give away the WHOLE thing!Bottom line . . . this movie doesn't have a cheesy script - it's quite realistic. One can see that the Olsen twins are more than just two cute faces but actually have some talent too. It's a great family movie and I recommend it.

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 =+)
