To Grandmother's House We Go

Were these 2 argumentative crumb munchers cute or a gargantuan pain in the butt? Cute and funny show not intended to be anything but what it was - mindless Christmas entertainment. My Christmas wish is to never have kids, especially a pair like this duo.

this film was really good and it was all about listening and doing as your told and helping your brothers or sisters it was a brotherly sisterly love kinda film i nearly cried it was so adorable to see them at that age now look at them they look the same and they have grown up xxx if you don't like this film you must be mad because it is good and a tear jerker. please give this film a thumbs up it is really good and a little soppy but upsetting when the girls get kidnapped i mean they are only 5 years old. please give it a thumbs up it'll be good for the little children more than adults.

this was amazing because the love that was shown shows us how to care for our family and friends and teaches us a lesson in a way.

I don't care what anyone else says about this movie. I loved it when I was 10, and I love it now. The Olsen girls are so talented and absolutely adorable. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a moron, no exceptions. Jerry Van Dyke and Rhea Perlman give wonderful performances as the two crooks. And the cameos by Saget and Loughlin only put the icing on the cake of this lovely, funny, adorable, fun-filled show.

People are sure harsh about these older shows and movies. I think they are fantastic. I grew up with them and I still think they are quite entertaining and I can share them with my little girls. I wish more fans would rate these movies higher. Although I have noticed lower ratings for most movies nowadays. People are harsher with rating things as nothing is left to shock or surprise these days. I was a BIG fan of all Mary-Kate and Ashley stuff and was glad they put out more content for me to follow as they and I got older. I hope one day they'll both do one more movie or show for the fans to enjoy! That would be amazing!

if you like that sort of thing. I suppose this movie is harmless enough, but there is no chance that it will go down in the annals of cinematography as one of the best movies ever. It is, at best, harmless fluff.

To summarize, this movie features the Olsen twins who, at least temporarily, appear to have faded into obscurity. I suppose this is an example of poetic justice since a lot of the people in "TGHWG" who previously had perfectly viable careers apparently have disappeared from the cultural landscape.

Besides these charming cherubs, the movie stars Cynthia Geary, Jerry Van Dyke, Rhea Perlman and others who will probably soon grace the pages of Biography Magazine's "Where Are They Now" section. Geary plays the twins' ineffectual single mom who can't keep her children from escaping when they think she wants them gone. A highlight of the film is Geary's dead-on impression of the late Boris Karloff while reading "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" to her children. Geary's character also apparently spends a good bit of the movie fantasizing about what her life would be like with a working class hero (played to perfection by soap opera star J. Eddie Peck).

Perlman and Van Dyke (in his most challenging role since "Coach") play bumbling crooks who are somewhat harmless, despite the fact that they are, in fact, crooks. To be honest, crooks don't come any more harmless than these two, who probably couldn't hold up a fleeing turtle.

The most unfortunate victim of this movie is perhaps Stuart Margolin, who plays a detective. Margolin's appearance here is particularly tragic when you consider he was a big star prior to this. He had even appeared in "Women of the Prehistoric Planet" with John Agar. Of course, "Women of the Prehistoric Planet" was hardly Oscar material, so perhaps Margolin was also a victim of poetic justice. Unfortunately for those of us who fondly remember Margolin as Angel on "The Rockford Files", he too seems to have since disappeared off the face of the earth (although rumor has it he is now working at a 7-11 in Des Moines, Iowa under an assumed name).

In short, watching "To Grandmother's House We Go" most likely won't do you any harm. However, it will take up a significant chunk of your life that could have perhaps been better spent doing other things, such as watching reruns of "Gadabout Gaddis" or cleaning your gutters.
