Description:
Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen take their sister act to the next level with the delightful comedy New York Minute. Top student Jane Ryan (Ashley) heads to Manhattan for a college-scholarship competition. Her rebellious twin Roxy Ryan (Mary-Kate) goes along to crash a video shoot. But anything can happen - and does - in a romp involving a pursuing truant officer (Eugene Levy), a smuggler (Andy Richter), hunkalacious guys (Jared Padalecki, Riley Smith) and the girls' realization that when the chips are down, a sister can be the best friend of all.
Amazon.com:
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen play good girl/bad girl sisters who suddenly find themselves on a high-speed chase escaping crooks, attracting hunks, and wreaking havoc in this lightweight comedy set in the Big Apple. Ashley plays high school scholar Jane Ryan, an overachiever with her sights set on winning a college scholarship competition. Mary-Kate plays her sister, Roxy, a rebellious teen truant who would rather be a rock star than a student. Since their mother's death, the sisters' relationship has been strained. Now their worlds collide when a day in Manhattan forces Jane and Roxy to join forces, overcoming their differences to battle an international smuggling ring while trying to make it in time for Jane's competition. While the script is predictably bland, viewers will enjoy the comedic strengths of Eugene Levy (Serendipity, American Pie) as Roxy's ubiquitous truant officer. Though the twins manage some decent slapstick, their sensuality, sexual innuendo, and suggestive disrobing is disappointing. DVD bonus features include some hilarious bloopers and alternate endings.

Rating:  - A great amd funny movie!
This movie is entertaining, interesting, comical, and the best movie I've seen this year! The fact is that I've grown up watching the twins since I was little is why I find them to be great role models of how sisters can be best friends and amazing actresses. Those who say they do not fit their roles because of their maturence in the physical appearance is quite absurd, just because when they get older and they are 40 looking 30 and you're 20 looking 30 doesn't mean that they should be criticized ...

Rating:  - Why am I watching this?
I really have no idea why I actually sat through this movie. I knew from the onset that it was no award-winning show or had anything of substance. The trailer pretty much gave away how cheesy this was. And the entire premise was absurd. But watch it I did. The best thing I can say about that experience is that I can write a truthful review.
Okay, the premise of the movie is pretty standard: twin A (Jane) is the goody-too-shoes, does well in school, and is trying out for a scholarship to ... Read More
Rating: - Bought movie for my granddaughter!
My granddaughter loves this movie! She loves anything that stars these two girls! Has to have it!
Rating: - great movie
After Jane (Ashley) and Roxy's (Mary-Kate) mother dies, they drift apart. Jane is a perfectionist focusing on her future and Roxy is a drummer in a band and could care less about school.
On the same day, they both need to go to NYC: Jane to make a very important speech for college and Roxy to attend a Simple Plan video shoot and give her CD to people who could make them famous.
Everything goes wrong: They get kicked off their train, they get a limo ride from a Chinese man ... Read More
Rating: - Mary-Kate and Ashley fail. Again.
Think of everything that you would despise in a movie. Throw that all in to one, and you get New York Minute. In addition to an excruciatingly terrible plot line, 3rd grade acting, and horrific accents, you also get incessantly annoying 'actors' ripping an hour and a half of your life. An hour and a half that you can never get back, and that may end in some need for cleansing as a human being and the reassurance that, by the way, the world isn't completely full of morons.
Admittedly, I approached ... Read More
