... an awful film.

Rating: 2/5 -- To say that New York Minute is a vehicle for the Olsen sisters is perhaps a slight to four-wheeled conveyances of all kinds. Full Review

Rating: 2/5 -- [The stars] never attempt to do anything outside their limited range; like, for example, act. Full Review

Rating: 2.5/4 -- Even when it feels forced, the Olsen twins' appeal -- I freely admit -- remains a two-for-one bargain. Full Review

Product Description:

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen prove they've graduated from their child-prodigy status with this sassy comedy from director Dennie Gordon (WHAT A GIRL WANTS). The teenage duo play Long Island-based twins Roxy (Mary-Kate) and Jane (Ashley), who may be identical in appearance, but rarely see eye-to-eye in their personal lives. On a Manhattan-bound train, the rebellious Roxy plans on cutting class, attending a rock video shoot, and presenting her demo tape to the band's manager. Meanwhile, the straitlaced Jane is heading to Columbia University, where she hopes to gain a college scholarship. Disaster strikes when the duo are unceremoniously dumped from the train, and a shady criminal places a microchip in Roxy's bag. Help is at hand in the form of Bennie Bang (Andy Richter), who offers the twins a ride in his limo. But he is actually after the microchip they unknowingly possess. Fleeing his clutches, Jane leaves her precious day planner in the car, and a screwball chase around Manhattan begins. Bennie is in hot pursuit, but so is Max Lomax (Eugene Levy), Roxy's truancy officer who is determined to catch the errant twin. Some crazy capers throughout the Big Apple ensue, and various set pieces are engineered to show off the vivacious and endearing charms of the two sisters. Levy and Richter give suitably wacky turns in their supporting roles, and the city of New York provides a glorious backdrop for the Olsens' acting talents.
