"Stalking about in a bright orange cocktail dress, patterned stockings and boa, Tisdale is very funny as Ashley, who is depicted as the more cartoonishly shallow and self-absorbed of the Olsen twins.

The designers of set, costume, and lighting built upon this foundation for an unusually cohesive and creative vision."
