New York Minute (2004)

the audience applauded

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

So, I bought the movie at a local Blockbuster for my young sister, who simply adores ever MK and A thing (she sadly still hasn't seen Full House). I popped the DVD in, and was getting my hopes up. So...the film...Jane (A) is a hardworking, girly whilst her sister Roxy (MK) is lazy, rocker and school skipper. I personally relate to Jane more. Anyway, so they have a giant 'you-get-all-the-attention!' fight--which I semi decently understand it (being the youngest of triplets, NOT including the young sister mentioned). I think the film is appealing to young pre-teen girls, but will make girls the age of them in the film hurl, to be honest.

This "movie" sucks like an Elton John-Barney Frank wedding! I will NEVER understand how the Olsen Twins ever amassed a fortune worth somewhere in the area of 500 Million bucks! They can't act; Their videos are too lame to be shown in a mental hospital, their clothing line wouldn't sell in a Gay Clothing Boutique, and they are about as sexually appealing as a bucket of warm scabs. This "movie" is more idiotic than Quest For Fire, makes less sense than a rubik's cube with one square on a side, and has the esthetic appeal of 500 gallons of warm, rancid pus. And has Eugene Levy fallen on hard times, to be seen for even one second in a bomb like this? WHAT WAS HE THINKING??? I wouldn't watch this "movie" all the way through if it would cure my mother's cancer! The only positive thing I can say about the Olsen Twins is thank God they weren't triplets!!!!

It was one of their best movies so far together. I loved Roxy, I loved her rocker attitude, clothes, outlook, name, everything. I think Ashley's character Jane made things interesting. Overall just saying, I hate this film, it was the worst, is not enough to qualify a review. I think the film was funny, the characters(especially Roxy) were interesting, and mostly I think the only thing people truly have against this film is it was the "Olsen Twins". There were quite a few other people at the very first show at the theater I went to, it was a mixed crowd, but mostly people my age(I was the same age as Mary-Kate and Ashley) and higher were there. If you want to criticize the film, at the very least see it first.

If you're a Mary Kate and Ashley fan you'll love it, it's definitely the best film they have done yet. It shows them at probably their most likable roles, and being the most recent film from the double-act it shows what they are like right now. They act and even look very different now so it is less like their earlier films where they always looked the same and would even switch places - although there is a wee switch at the end of New York Minute where Mary Kate tried to help Ashley by reading her speech for her! It still has the classic Olsen twin moments where they realise how much they love being twins! It has all you'd want from a chick flick!
