To Grandmother's House We Go (1992)

Excellent but underrated film

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Oh i loved this movie. The twins are so sweet and you can just sense the whole Christmas spirit. Mary Kate and Ashley had done a great job even though they were just kids. J. Eddie Peck was really good too. He completely blended in his role. The cast was brilliantly picked. You would never say it is an 1992 movie because compared to some 'nowadays' movies this is a classic ! This was my favorite movie when I was a kid and even though so many years have passed I can still watch it and feel the same way I did when I first saw it. It's an adorable movie for the whole family to watch and enjoy. Especially around holidays.I would recommend it to anyone.

The reason I give this movie a 10 is because it was WONDERFUL!!!!! I have been a huge Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen fan ever since they were 9 months old. And I will always be a huge fan of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. I have read some of the comments that other people have wrote. About how Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen cannot act. And I know that people can have their own opinion. But my opinion is that they can act and they can sing really really really well. I will always and I do mean always will support Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. I think that Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have a lot of talent when it comes to acting and singing. And I think that for this being the first movie that they have ever done together they did a wonderful job. To Grandmother's House We Go is one of my favorite Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen movies. And it will always be. As a matter of fact I have a copy of this movie. I think that Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have a lot of talent in acting, singing and dancing.

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.

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.
