this was funny and cute, but it was VERY cliche. twins jen and cindy are opposites in every way, and they decide to switch places for a day to prove to the other how hard their lives are. i’m pretty sure i’ve seen this plot in a disney channel movie before.

cindy seemed kind of hard on her sister, and i felt like they didn’t solve that issue at the end. also barbie needed to be a lot more explicit at the practice meetings. instead of saying “work as a team” she should’ve just told them when to pass and when not to.

the outfits were a mix of ugly and cute. also spotted one of stacie’s outfits being reused.
