* NoNameGiven: We never learn the real names of the Parker twins when they lived in the USA. When the FBI send them to Australia, they are given the aliases Maddie Turly and Abby Turly, but a RunningGag is that twins keep forgetting the names Abby and Maddie because they are not their real names.

The movie starts off with talking about [[WitnessProtection the FBI's Witness Protection Program]]--how it works and what it does to protect the people who're enrolled in the program, including their most interesting case, concerning the Parker-family, particularly Mr. and Mrs. Parker's twin daughters, Abby (played by Ashley Olsen) and Maddie (played by Mary-Kate Olsen). The twins are 14 and have just started their freshman year of high school and hope to become popular--unfortunately, their first day doesn't go to well: they tried out for their school's cheerleading squad and messed up the pyramid, seriously injuring their school's head cheerleader.

After being placed in Australia, the rest of the movie is mostly about the Parkers adjusting to Australian culture and the girls doing whatever they can to '''''not''''' blow their cover. The girls end up doing a pretty good job of finally keeping their mouths shut about their family being in the Witness Protection Program and they do manage to make new friends and (as per the standard of [=DTV=]-movies starring the Olsen Twins) each of the twins finds a boyfriend.

* LandDownUnder: Some of Australian stereotypes in the film include a kangaroo, a bunch of girls named "Sheila[[note]]Which, in Australia, is the slang term for "girl"/"woman"[[/note]]," and everyone in Australia being into sports like surfing.
liking surfing. However, there are some subversions, such as when the twins arrive at their new school and are dressed more like they're going on an African safari and get gawked at by their new schoolmates.

After their disastrous first day of school, the twins witness a jewel heist from a museum in their hometown and testify against the criminal who did it in court--after which, the criminal's uncle (a powerful crime boss) swears revenge on the Parker-family. After that, the Parkers are placed in the FBI's Witness Protection Program--unfortunately for the FBI, the twins are (self-admittedly) blabbermouths, and they keep blowing their family's cover. After being placed in (quite literally) every other part of the world, the Parkers are moved to Sydney, Australia, with the explicit warning that if the twins screw up ''this time'', their family will be pulled from the program...'''''permanently'''''.

* BaitAndSwitch: At the beginning of the movie, when the twins' parents are getting ready for the day, Mrs. Parker tells her husband how she gets worried about him when he's at work--their conversation leads you to believe that Mr. Parker works as a police officer or a firefighter (or at least ''something'' along those lines). But when he leaves for work, it turns out the twins' dad works as a mailman and that his main "danger" on the job is having to [[MailmanVsDog deal with aggressive dogs.]]

* IChooseToStay: After the criminals are defeated and taken into custody, the Parkers are given the chance to go back home to the United States. But at this point, the Parkers have gotten used to their lives in Australia--so the twins (not wanting to leave their friends or their boyfriends behind) and their parents decide that, for now at least, they'd rather stay in Sydney (and reveal their true identities to their Australian-friends).
* IdenticallyNamedGroup: After the Parkers are placed in Australia and the twins are enrolled at a local school, the first person to befriend them is a girl named Sheila--she introduces Abby and Maddie to her group of friends, all of whom also go by "Sheila." "Sheila" is actually the Australian slang for "girl" or "woman".

* WitlessProtectionProgram: By the time Parkers are placed in Sydney, Australia, the FBI has gotten so fed up with constantly having to relocate them (and all because the twins just can't keep their mouths shut) that they've decided "screw this!" and give them the explicit warning that if Abby and Maddie screw up ''this time'', the WPP will just wash their hands of them and let them suffer whatever comes (up to and including being killed by the criminals that the family is hiding from).

* DidntThinkThisThrough: The twins decide their best bet at luring out Hatchew is by deliberately blabbing about their protected status in the Witness Protection Program, fully expecting them to intervene as they had in all their previous failures to keep quiet. Unfortunately for them, the FBI is so completely fed up with them that they straight up refuse to show, leaving the girls to fend for themselves when Hatchew confronts them. One of the twins even acknowledges that this was a stupid idea when the agents don't turn up.

** The criminals do eventually find Abby and Maddie, but not because of the twins habit of being blabbermouths--in fact, after being placed in Australia, the twins actually do a pretty good job of keeping their WPP-status a secret. Pretty much the only reason that the criminals find the Parkers in Australia is because they had broken into the FBI-office, which contained files on the Parkers' current location.

* UnfortunateNames: The BigBad of the film has the surname of "Hatchew" ("achoo!") and his family comes from a country called "Yurugli" ("you're ugly")

* CannotKeepASecret: Abby and Maddie admit to being "blabbermouths," and prior to their family being placed in Australia, the FBI had placed them in pretty much every single part of the United States and every single geographic location in the world (with the exception of Australia). While the twins typically blew their cover by accident, one time they did so ''deliberately''--at one point prior to being placed in Australia, the Parkers were forced to go undercover in an Amish community. Clearly not happy with their situation, the twins share a look before shouting "We're in the Witness Protection Program" to everyone within hearing distance.
