What happens

It Takes Two is a 1995 American romantic comedy film starring Kirstie Alley, Steve Guttenberg, and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. The title is taken from the song of the same name by Marvin Gaye and Kim Weston, which is played in the closing credits. The film was produced by Rysher Entertainment, Orr & Cruickshank Productions and Dualstar Productions and distributed by Warner Bros. through their Warner Bros. Family Entertainment label. The film was released on November 17, 1995 to negative reviews from critics and grossed $19.5 million against a $14.5 million budget. The film focuses on two lookalike girls who meet by chance in a summer camp. One is an orphan while the other a wealthy heiress. They decide to act as matchmakers for their respective parent figures. The storyline is similar to the 1881 novel, The Prince and the Pauper by Mark Twain, and to the 1949 book Lisa and Lottie by Erich Kästner. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
