Billboard Dad is a 1998 family comedy directed by Alan Metter. It stars Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen as twin sisters, Tess and Emily Tyler, Tom Amandes as their father, Max, and Jessica Tuck as their neighbor, Brooke Anders. The movie is set in Venice, California, where Tess and Emily live with their single dad, Max. The girls are close to their dad but they feel like he needs a girlfriend to cheer him up. So they decide to take matters into their own hands and create a huge billboard advertisement to help him find love. They call themselves the "Billboard Girls" and pose as Max's daughters in the ad, seeking a woman to be his companion.

Tess and Emily are excited about their plan, but Max is not so thrilled. He doesn't want to be a part of a publicity stunt and is worried about the consequences. Meanwhile, the billboard attracts a lot of attention and Max's phone starts ringing off the hook with interested women.

One of the calls is from Brooke Anders, a beautiful and successful businesswoman who lives across the street from Max. Brooke is smitten with Max and decides to pursue him even though Max is oblivious to her feelings. While Max is busy going on dates with other women, Brooke is working her way closer to Max, hoping to win him over.

Tess and Emily become worried that their billboard plan is causing more harm than good. They start to feel guilty that their dad is going on so many dates, and they fear that he'll soon forget about their mom, who had passed away years ago.

As the story unfolds, Max begins to realize that Brooke is the woman he has been searching for all along. However, Brooke's schedule and Max's reluctance to admit that he has feelings for her makes it difficult for them to be together. Max also has to convince his daughters that he's not moving on from their mother, and that he can love someone new without forgetting about her.

Billboard Dad is a heartwarming story about family, love, and the challenges of moving on after a loss. The film is a lighthearted, family-friendly comedy that is perfect for fans of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. The twins' chemistry and comedic timing are on full display in this movie, making it a must-see for their fans.

The movie also features a great supporting cast, including Jessica Tuck as the charming Brooke Anders, who steals the show with her wit and grace. Tom Amandes is excellent as Max, bringing depth and nuance to his role as a single, grieving father who is trying to navigate the tricky waters of dating while still honoring his wife's memory.

Overall, Billboard Dad is an enjoyable and heartwarming family comedy that will make you laugh, cry, and root for the Tyler family. The movie is a great reminder that, even in the face of adversity, there is always hope, love, and laughter to be found.
