Switching Goals

Sweet-tempered twins swap places in a soccer league and cause mayhem. Mary-Kate Olsen is a footie whizz whereas Ashley Olsen is the stylish dresser with impeccable taste (aged 12, no less). But when they pull a fast one with the name tags, something is bound to go wrong., Twin sisters discover trading places isn’t quite as simple as they imagined in this comedy for the whole family. Emma Stanton (Ashley Olsen) and Samantha Stanton (Mary-Kate Olsen) are a pair of 12-year-old identical twins who look alike, but otherwise have little in common. Samantha — or Sam, as most everyone calls her — loves sports and isn’t much on frilly stuff, while Emma is a junior fashion maven who doesn’t have any use for her sister’s tomboy interests. Their father (Eric Lutes) thinks he doesn’t have a close enough relationship with Emma, so he decides to draft her onto the winning girls’ soccer team he’s coaching; their mother (Kathryn Greenwood) signs Sam up for a second-string team coached by someone who acts as if he could hardly be bothered to watch the game. Neither Sam nor Emma is happy with this situation, so they decide to swap places on the teams; at first, neither Mom or Dad are the wiser, but when the girls’ wildly different levels of play become obvious, Emma discovers she has to act like Sam to keep her folks from catching on to their plan, and vice versa., The Olsen twins, stars of hit series Two of a Kind, again play identical sisters in this high-spirited comedy. Ashley plays Emma, a sweet, neat girl who cares more about fashion and boys than sport. Mary-Kate is Sam, the tomboy, who envies her more feminine sister’s boy-catching talents.
