Passport to Paris (1999)

Very best movie i ever watch

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

I saw this movie in Discovering language class in school. Not a very good movieNow Mary Kate and Ashley. They are not horrible actresses, but it's hard not to judge their acting when they've been acting since they were babies. The "Noooooooo" near the beginning of the movie is one example to show their acting ability. The stereotypes include the following: French/Foreign food is disgusting, French boys are all gentlemen and hot, male French adults are all snobs. On the bright side, at least everyone didn't wear berets. Speaking of the French boys, their relationship with the girls was either creepy because they were driving mopeds and you have to be 15 or older to drive a moped in France,(the main characters are 12, or barely 13, I can't quite remember) or not researched and the French boys were 13. Also the ending, where one of the boys kissed one of the girls, that was cliché, expected, and if the creators did do the research, creepy.Cliché, dumb, stereotypical, and bad acting.

I was once a big Olsen fan. I received this movie when I was six and watched it almost nonstop until I was nine. Then it lay on my shelf gathering dust until yesterday. I was left speechless.Mary-Kate and Ashley play Allie and Mel, two twelve year olds who are sent to spend Spring Break in Paris with their ambassador grandfather. Along the way, they meet, as one might expect, two cute French boys who show them the more fun side to Paris. I guess the two boys were okay, fake French accents aside. The plot is predictable and the humour is shallow and corny. Mary-Kate and Ashley play two shallow girls with too much make up on their face. Don't watch this movie if you're not into the Olsen twins or family movies.

I can't express how bad this movie is. I could swear and curse until the cows come home and that would *still* not express how bad it was. I don't know how Passport to Paris escaped the bottom 100 films. This is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. When I watched it on the TV, I had to choose between this and awesome crime series "Brigada". Since I have seen "Brigada" before, I decided to pay attention to "Passport to Paris".Well, I made a VERY wrong decision. Why is this movie so bad? First of all, it has all the cliches ever produced by Hollywood, like the two spoiled brats who only want to be pretty and popular and the French guys with horrible accents. They even complained that they wanted a stereotypical grandfather. Thank God there were no rednecks whth shotguns and terrorists. The plot is ridiculous, and the cast is really bad. I believe the Olsens do horrible, awful, terrible jobs, but since they are no great actresses, the outcome is below average. This movie has no sudden moves, no intrigue, no humor, no philosophical or political idea, and in genital it is as shallow as "Lord of the Rings", for example. Avoid at all costs. Right in the first second, I was ready to barf. I would not recommend this movie to my worst enemy. How come that stupid Jeremy guy didn't have the keys when Allie and Mel locked him out of the limo? Seriously, I don't get how this got a release. It's absolutely awful. This movie drags and drags, and has well, about 0 good qualities. I was literally kicking myself for having wasted my time to view this horrendous, atrocious mess of a movie. The plot is lame and very forced, the acting is awful at best, and the story is more than predictable. I understand that this was no attempt to make another Citizen Kane or anything, but God, this is painful to watch! If you are looking for good family entertainment and to get your girls out of your hair, there are millions of other options. However, if you are looking to torture yourself and/or others, then check this movie out...it's something that you will forget, though more than likely you'll wish you could. It started out decent, but however, early in the movie, it takes a turn for the worse: it starts looping in an endless chain of cliches, which have been done in every Olsen movie.If you have seen this movie, I am very sorry. I sat through this horrendous movie one afternoon and wound up actually beating myself for it. The acting is atrocious, but what do you expect from two young girls. A hell of a lot more. The Olsens are the worst actresses on planet Earth, their facial expressions were cringe making, their delivery was just awful and they were unbelievably over-the-top. The script was just terrible, and there was absolutely no value or excitement whatsoever AT ALL to this film. The events are both predictable, and *extremely* unlikely. The worst part about it is there aren't even any laughable aspects as in other horrible movies such as Troll 2 or Manos: The Hands of Fate. If you haven't seen this movie, don't go out of your way to see it. Actually, do everything you can to avoid to be in 5 feet of this movie. I think it's a crime to recommend this as family movie. The only thing that's decent about it is the Paris scenery and the good soundtrack, and that is pretty bad as well. I feel quite sorry for all of you who have viewed even one second of it, and actually LIKE it! I cannot believe there's people out there who actually think this movie is good. The part where the paintings fly over the Olsens heads, was so weak and cheesy. Many kids would KILL to go to Europe, yet the stupid girls complain that they have to miss the Spring Fling dance in which 2 slimy guys asked them to. Boys only like Allie and Mel because they're pretty, and that's the raw truth. Even the mom and dad admits that their world is the size of a pin. They also ran off with the French boys, who they only knew for like, what, 1 hour?? They could be rapists for all they know! But, yet, they're not, since everything is great and happy in the end. The part where they're bread stick sword-fighting was very stupid. I don't know how the Jeremy guy can even keep his job. He can't even control a banana, and the girls were almost as stupid as one. The twins get away with running away, locking out Jeremy, etc., man this movie is just messed up. I wasted all my time and felt like I had just been beaten with a stick. 0/10.

I've watched this movie a few times and it just gets worse every time. At first I thought this movie was... cute. I mean the twins' clothes weren't so bad. The guys are quite fortunate-looking, lousy accent aside, though I cannot understand what these seemingly normal boys see in those two self-centered, shallow, spoiled brats. Anyway the Olsen twins acted horrendously as expected. However in this Olsen movie, and, I've noticed, the ones after, BOTH of the girls are bimbos wearing too much make-up and drooling over boys. Previously one of them would have a grungier style and a clearer conscience. Like all Olsen movies, the plot is predictable and the twins managed to save themselves and in this case the rest of France. I really don't recommend watching it more than once, especially if you're not into family movies.
