New York Minute (2004)

Why so much hype?

Fantastic!

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

This classic movie with my queens the olsen twins, was there for me when no one else was when i was a child. Everyone is saying that this movie sucked but that's because they have zero personality and respect for classic movies meant for stans of the olsen twins. I would watch this movie on rainy days when i was stuck in the house, and i would be at peace with the world for 91 minutes of my life, so to all the haters bop on out and accept that this movie is a bop/ classic. I have said my peace and i hope this review sticks with the people that have taken the time to read it for the rest their day.

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!!!!

The film is not good... that's okay, because I didn't expect it to be. I knew this is another Olsen twins comedy film targeted to early teens with lots of advertisements of American teen lifestyle. The story, the characters, the dialogues -- everything was hollow and baseless. The film also preached a little family values in the end. But none of these were actually unexpected.I watched this film on TV with my cousin and sister and their mindset got enough satisfaction. It is pointless to judge the film from my point of view as I'm not it's target viewer. But if I consider a normal fun-loving 15-year-old I see enough elements in this film to please him e.g. the Simple Plan concert sequence. It's definitely not the worst teen film. I've seen worse... many times.

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!
