After Amanda, who poses as Alyssa, proves to the family butler Vincenzo (Philip Bosco) who she really is at the church, he summons to have the real Alyssa picked up from the Butkises' salvage yard to stall the wedding. When Clarice secretly spies on Roger and Diane, she decides to move up the wedding from the next month to the next day. She and Diane (while looking for Alyssa) find out the only reason they have adopted many kids was for them to work in their salvage yard. After some turbulences, Alyssa (who poses as Amanda) ends up being adopted by the Butkises. So they arrange "chance" meetings with the desired result: they fall in love with each other. The girls switch places in a bid to get rid of Clarice and find out that Diane and Roger would fit together perfectly. Alyssa Callaway ( Ashley Olsen) is coming home from her boarding school's piano recital competition, only to find that her wealthy father Roger ( Steve Guttenberg) is about to marry Clarice Kensington ( Jane Sibbett), a socialite who (secretly) hates kids and baseball (which Roger adores). Diane would like to do the same thing, but authorities will not let her because of her low salary. She actually wants her child-loving case worker Diane Barrows ( Kirstie Alley) to adopt her instead. Amanda Lemmon ( Mary-Kate Olsen) is an orphan, and she is about to be adopted by a family whom she doesn't like, the Butkises. Two unrelated young girls who happen to look identical suddenly meet. They may be right, but I resent the manipulation all the same.For the 2021 video game of no relation, see here. They know I check the contents of my hanky after a big sneeze, and they're hoping I'll want to check the viscous excretions of a live action My Friend Pedro. What I do have is a mild curiosity about how any adaptation might turn out, and it's this rather than any creative urgency that I think movie studios seem to be preying upon. That's partly because I've reached an age where the only particular desires I have all involve sleep or at least quiet night in, but it's also that video game stories rarely seem like they'd benefit from being reconstituted as linear, passive entertainment. I have no particular desire to see It Takes Two - or any other video game - be adapted into a film, TV series or commedia dell'arte. It doesn't ruin the whole experience - It Takes Two is a tremendously fun game to play - but stacked up next to riding giant spiders, exploding wasps and surfing mic aux cables the actual relationship thing at the heart of it is a bit of a whimper compared to the bang of everything else. The way you explore Cody and May's story is playful and imaginative, but their story itself isn't that interesting. Most annoyingly, despite the inclusion of plot points that are surprisingly dark and very very funny because of it, It Takes Two is a bit disappointing in how conventional the story is, when this was surely an opportunity to do something a bit different. Alice B called it "a really fun way to tell a bit of a boring story" in her It Takes Two review: It Takes Two tells the story of divorcing couple May and Cody, who find themselves trapped within the bodies of two dolls and working together to get back to their real bodies. They're also developing several other video game-derived projects, including the Tomb Raider anime for Netflix, live action TV series based on Life Is Strange and Disco Elysium, and a Sleeping Dogs movie. Variety report that the film is "set up at Amazon for priority development." dj2 Entertainment are the primary production company attached, the same studio responsible for Sonic The Hedgehog 2. There's also a chance The Rock may star in the movie as well - presumably as the perverted book. It Takes Two is being adapted into a movie, with the Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson attached to produce and the screenwriters of the recent Sonic movies attached to pen the script.
