It's the Olsen twins to the rescue once again in their straight-to-video release, Billboard Dad. With Venice, California, serving as a Bohemian backdrop, the preteen queens of the dead-mom 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 preteen 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

5.0 out of 5 stars Great movie!, July 4, 2003

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Billboard Dad [VHS] (VHS Tape)

In this flim, Tess( Mary-Kate Olsen) a high diver and Emily( Ashley Olsen) a surfer, team up to find their dad a girlfriend, they place a ad on a billboard and find all the women in the city are after their father. When their dad meets the women of his dreams, he becomes very happy, and the two pre-teens are great at finding their dad happy. Untill they find out thats she is after their dad for his money! In the end, their dad and his love get marryed, and his greedy agent was fired, because the girls found out he was trying to make it seem like their dads girl friend, Brooke, was after his money when he was the one! Also in the movie, Tess and Emily are on a swim team and they dive off diving boards, they show the pool bully, Ryan, that they are just as good as him. The Olsen twins are great kids in ths movie, they play sports, have friends, and care about their dad. They are only thirdteen or twelve in the movie, but these little girls are spunky,smart, and kmow how to make a great movie!

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the best movie I ever saw!, November 1, 1999

This review is from: Billboard Dad [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I think Mary-Kate and Ashley were the best people in the movie. I really liked how they got everything messed up and in the end they got everything back to normal.
