Originally an ABC telefilm, Switching Goals comes to video. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen play super-identical twins who are actually total opposites. OK, it's not the freshest concept in the universe, but the teen divas (who also exec produce--as they did in their Passport to Paris) are an undeniable favorite with little girls all-over. Here, they're Sam, the athletic one, and Emma, the fashion-conscious one. Their indulgent dad (Eric Lutes) coaches a soccer team and their workaholic mother (Kathryn Greenwood) is a psychologist. Look for a switch, the truth to be revealed, and all to end well. This video may prove to be just the perfect gift for any young girl between 4 and 10. Not only will they get to gaze up on the familiar, comforting countenances of the Olsens, but given how many young 'uns play soccer, there's even more to relate to. --N.F. Mendoza

5.0 out of 5 stars Switching Goals., June 9, 2002

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Switching Goals [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is my favourite video of all time. Cute boys, great fashion, and most of all, the best actors, Mary-Kate and Ashley. You cant beat this video. I love it so much, in the school holidays, I watch it at least once a day, but my record is 4 times a day! These girls are so full of coolness, they could act terribly and you wouldnt care. They play Sam, the sporty one, and Emma, the fashion and dating one. Their dad owns a sports store, and coaches a junior football team, and as his league has gone co-ed, he picks Emma first, as his wife made him, and Sam gets picked by another team coach who, shall we say, is a little in-formal. So, they swap teams, and so on.They look so good in all the scenes which, kind of makes it so much better, 'cos their idols and you look up to them. I, personaly, noted down all of the kinds of clothes they wore, and went out to get some like them myself!! Two words-THE BEST.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Switching Goals (DVD)

This film has a certain realistic vibe to it. For in all the rest of the films people think the twins are perfect this film shows all the real teenage girl actions!
