Goofs:
Continuity: When the twins are making a change in the plan for Jeremy to meet Brigette, it is seen that the "h" key is pressed. Yet in the text they type, "Luxembourg Garderns", there is no "h". more
Quotes:
Grandpa 'Ambassador' Edward: [after Ally and Melanie have been arrested] Allyson, Melanine. I am very disappointed in you. As the United States Ambassador of France I cannot have my two granddaughters being hauled into Peace Headquarters, and galavanting around with two delinquent little French boys.
Melanie 'Mel' Porter: But Grandpa you don't even know them!
Jeremy Bluff: Sir, if I may say one thing.
Grandpa 'Ambassador' Edward: I will deal with you later.
Jeremy Bluff: No, sir. No sir, you will deal with me now. Ally and Melanie came to France to have a terrific time, and they met two boys, who introduced them to the wild and crazy side of Paris, that you once knew yourself, Edward. Ally and Melanie are two great kids, they are bright and full of life. You would know that to, sir, if you would only spend time with them.
Grandpa 'Ambassador' Edward: You are very close to employment termination, young man.
Jeremy Bluff: Well, sir, I'm about to get even closer. A week ago, I gave you my position on the Water treaty. You have yet to read it. I use to think that if I stayed around long enough, that you would listen to me. But I see now that my contribution has fallen on deaf ears. So, Mr. Ambassador, with all due respect. I quit.
Allyson 'Ally' Porter: What? Jeremy, you can't!
Melanie 'Mel' Porter: Not because of us!
Jeremy Bluff: No, no. I need to thank you. For giving me the courage to do what I should have done a long time ago.

One of their better..., 15 January 2006
7/10
Author: AngusYoungBinge from United States

Everyone knows that the Olsen twin movies from 1999 and on have had one basic plot: the girls go to a touristy foreign country, meet two hot guys, kiss them a couple of times, wear great fashions, have 'exciting adventures', and then go home after a couple of weeks.

Well, this is one of their better ones.

When I was little I loved Mary - Kate and Ashley, so of course I saw this movie. Basically, two twin girls named Mel and Ally Porter go to France to stay with their grandfather with their parents hoping that they'll pick up a little culture. After the first few days the girls almost get hit by those two 'hot Perisian boys', meet a supermodel, and manage to effect the way things are going on in their grandfather's house.

While Mary - Kate and Ashley's acting is so - so, the real talent comes from the other cast members. Brocker Way is excellent as Jean, Ashley's interest throughout the movie. Yvonne Scio and Matt Winston are also funny as Brigitte (the supermodel) and Jeremy, the man assigned by their grandfather to watch the girls.

It may be stupid, but if you've got nothing better to watch on the weekend then I suggest you give it a try.
