Amazon.co.uk Review
The Olsen twins come to the rescue once again in their straight-to-video release, Billboard Dad. With Venice, California, serving as a Bohemian backdrop, the pre-teen queens of the dead-mum 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 pre-teen 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. --Valerie J Nelson, Amazon.com

4.0 out of 5 stars Olsen fans - buy this now!!, 20 Aug 2001
This review is from: Mary-Kate and Ashley - Billboard Dad [VHS] (VHS Tape)
The olsen twins are back on video in a new adventure called "Billboard Dad". Fans of their other films and hit TV show "Two of A kind" will be in their element throughout this film. The Olsen twins star as Emily and Tess determined to find their single father a new love. They go to all means possible including a very funny feature regarding a billboard - I won't tell you what because it might spoil the film for you. If you like any other Olsen film then you'll love this and if you have never seen an Olsen film before then buy this and no doubt you will not regret it.

3.0 out of 5 stars The first of a new generation Olsen twin movies, 16 Aug 2001
This review is from: Mary-Kate and Ashley - Billboard Dad [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Max Tyler is an artist who spends all his time in his studio, and doesn't pay attention to anything else since his wife past away. His twin daughters, Tess and Emily, decide it's time to give his life some change as they put his picture on a huge billboard and write on it that he's single and needs a sate. Many women react and Max does some dating against his will. On one of those dates he ends up talking to Brooke, the best friend of his actual date, and falls in love with her. Tess and Emily get the shock of a lifetime, as Brooke's son was chosen over Emily in the diving team, while Emily had a crush on the divingcoach. Nigel, Max's manager, is furious about this new romance as Max spends less time in his studio. He fakes a conversation with Brooke and convinces Tess and Emily that Brooke only wants theirs father's money. The three of them team up to break up the relationship between Brooke and Max. Max gets in a new depression, and the twins realize that they don't want this either. This move, which I'd like to call the first one of the "second generation" Olsen movies makes it clear that the twins are getting older. For the first time subjects as boys are part of the movie. Take Cody for example, who tells Tess about his crush on her, while he thinks he's talking to Emily. This movie makes clear that little girls grow up. The movie lacks other famous stars however and is therefor not very interesting for people who aren't true Olsen fans. The plot is based round the twins and only around the twins. All other events in the movie are just too small to have any serious meaning. However, the acting of the twins is very good and has improved a lot since It takes two. It compensates a lot, although it won't be enough for people who aren't fans. The movie it self has a very depressing mood and is therefor not really a good choice if you want a nice laugh, although there are some good jokes in it. Watch it for the quality acting, not for many jokes. Although it's profiled as a family comedy, I would rather call it in the family drama genre - that's not a bad things, it's just another thing.
