And director Andy Tennant doesn't have the style to disguise their inadequacies or, for that matter, to spring a decent gag.
There, Alyssa receives a brutal shock: Her precious father is engaged to marry the shallow, patrician Clarice (Jane Sibbett), who intends to dump her stepdaughter in a boarding school and keep Daddy all to herself.

It Takes Two " is the kind of movie where both the butler (genial Philip Bosco ) and the fiancee find out about the other woman by spying her through a convenient telescope.
The movie is harmless and fitfully amusing.

It Takes Two is a bad film, then, but not quite as bad as you might have thought.
Writer/producer Jim Cruikshanks main intention seems to have been to make a funny family film on a similar level to the recent live-action 101 Dalmatians, and in a limited sort of way he succeeds.
