You're Invited to Mary-Kate & Ashley's Favorite Parties

The Olsen twins' previous party compilation, You're Invited to Mary-Kate & Ashley's Greatest Parties, featured videos handpicked by their fans. The Favorite Parties on this collection, however, were chosen by Mary-Kate and Ashley themselves. Each party features a different theme, two female friends, five songs (plus a little dancing) and outtakes at the end followed by their signature catch phrase, "It's a wrap!" Although they aren't the best singers, Mary-Kate and Ashley get the job done and always look like they're having a great time. Still, two to three songs per party theme should have been sufficient (and would have allowed for greater character and story development). The sequencing could also be better. Fashion Party (1999), which opens the compilation, is clearly the most recent as the twins are sporting makeup, blonde streaks in their newly straightened hair, and a more sophisticated dress sense. They look significantly older than in Costume Party and Campout, even though those tapes were released only a year before (1998). Younger fans, however, are likely to ignore such shortcomings in favor of the cool outfits, catchy music and, of course, the stars of the show: the adorable, relentlessly upbeat boy- and pizza-crazy Olsen twins. --Kathleen C.

Customer Review: Tons of cheesy fun!

I'm 14, and all my friends are 15 (I'm young for my grade), but we had so much fun watching this video! We all liked Mary Kate and Ashley when we were younger, so we all happen to know the songs. It's really fun to sing and dance to all the cheesy tunes. The first two are great, but the third is a little bit mediocre. However, I'd recommend this video to any sentimental girl who loves to have fun with friends regardless of what others may think.

Customer Review: Parents Warning

After watching Mary Kate and Ashley sing you will come to think someone scratching nails on a blackboard is a better sound. Your Invited- parties are poorly done- the songs STINK, and sorry Olsen fans- the Olsen twins can't sing! In the end of the first of the parties you really just pity the poor girls- for what a humiliation these tapes must be to them in adulthood.



Watching these tapes with my cousins is my form of torture and it's nightmare to endure-- The Costume Party and Ballet Party are their favorites. After half an hour of cheesy songs and costumes you will give up any will to live.



This series deserves to be burned buy your child another tape maybe "Passport To Paris" or "Holiday in the Sun" which are half-way decent and call for a public burning to these tapes.To end the torture of parents...
