Switching Goals (1999)

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

Crappy film

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Here is a TV sports movie that features the Olsen twins - Mary-Kate and Ashley - wherein identical twin sisters who try to switch soccer teams and later find out that it is more difficult and challenge what it seems to be. This is meant to be a family movie for young kids and pre-teen-agers alike. Emma and Samantha Stanton are a pair of twelve year old identical twins that have very little in common.Samantha happens to be interested in sports while her sister is more into fashion and have very little interest in any physical activity.Their father feels that both have an awkward relationship so he made a decision to put Emma in a winning soccer team he is coaching while her sister Sam is placed on a second-string team by their mother.Both are unhappy with the situation and they decided to swap places on the teams and try to portray each other with Emma acting like Sam and vice-versa so as not to get caught.In the end,the father learns about being fair and the message about fair play is conveyed to the viewer.Well,this is another typical Olsen Twins movie that one would either love - if one is a fan - and hate - if one dislikes them.Although it is evident that this is movie is for pre-teens,most adults would probably not enjoy it as it is both contrived and simplistic.Also,the Olsens simply attract the kids and pre-teen viewership and it practically limited to that.

This movie is so good I could watch it all day long! Mary-Kate and Ashley were robbed at Oscar time!! If I got to be one of the actors I would be so excited!!! I can't wait for the new Charlie's Angels movie starring Mary-Kate and Ashley.

Yes, you guessed it. Another movie where identical twins switch places. I think now that the Olsen twins are getting older they should try and make the plot less predictable and less like re-runs of 'Full House'. If you plan on seeing this film, don't. Watch 'The Parent Trap' instead. It's more entertaining.

This movie exceeds any limit or bounds of imaginative writing. I should say that whatever method of putting this on the silver screen where it belongs is well worth it. This film is truly breathtaking, and an Oscar caliber performance by both sisters as they struggle in a world of peewee sports and puberty. The cinematography was captivating to say the least!
