What the Movie is About
The story takes place in sunny Los Angeles, California. It's all about two twin sisters, Emily and Tess Tyler. Emily (Ashley Olsen) loves to surf and ride the waves. Her sister, Tess (Mary-Kate Olsen), is a talented high-diver.
Their dad, Max (Tom Amandes), is a great artist and sculptor. He's also a widower, which means his wife has passed away. Emily and Tess really want their dad to find a new girlfriend. They try many different ideas, but nothing seems to work at first.
So, Tess and Emily team up with their friend Cody. They come up with a super creative plan! They decide to paint an advertisement on a huge billboard high above Sunset Boulevard. This billboard is meant to help their dad find someone special.
Many women respond to the ad by sending letters. Max ends up replying to a letter from a woman named Debbie. Debbie brings her friend Brooke along when she meets Max. But then, something unexpected happens! Max and Brooke meet by chance and really like each other. Debbie agrees that Max and Brooke should start dating.
At first, Tess and Emily don't get along with Brooke's son, Ryan. However, Max's business manager, Nigel, tries to break up Max and Brooke. When this happens, Ryan, Tess, and Emily learn to work together. They put aside their differences to stop Nigel's plan and help their parents stay together.
