Getting There (2002)

Purely Joyful Movie!

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

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

The Olsen Twins - Mary Kate and Ashley are featured in this direct- to- video movie.The story revolves around a twin sisters Kylie and Taylor, who just turned sixteen years of age and go on the road with their friends and without their parents.Their destination is at Salt Lake City at Utah wherein the 2002 Winter Olympics is being held.Later,they find out that they tried to do more than they could handle and gaining independence could be indeed discomforting. Well,this is not a good movie at all.It is clichéd,contrived and predictable.The Olsen Twins could he a lot of torture for some viewers especially adults and non-fans considering that they are far from being funny.The only positive thing here is the location - Salt Lake City - where the Winter Olympics is being held and the message that gaining independence could be challenge indeed as it is about taking responsibility life rather than doing anything that you want without your parents.

i like watching the olsen twins, but this movie reaks! the plot is terrible, ans so unreal that it is just plain stupid. i can deal with all their other movies, but this one tanks. Avoid it whenever and wherever possible! i usually like the clothes they wear even if they are age inapporiate(which is always) but this movie didn't have that going for it either. Getting There is one bumbled attempt after another to get to the winter olympics.First of all no parent will allow their newly liscensed 16 year driver to drive into another state, let alone spend 3 days there unsupervised, and you must be 18 to get a hotel room. The olsen twins set unrealistic expectations to todays teens in clothes,and behavior in this movie. plus to screw up as many times as they did trying to get some where is just plain sad and unreal. this movie is as stupid as can be and how it ever got made just flores me.

I don't mind the usual Olsen movies that much and actually enjoy them for the purposely crappy cheesy appeal sometimes, but this was bad even for them. The movie couldn't seem to make up its mind what it wanted to be, a road trip movie or a snow adventure movie. They tried to have both and it ended up a total mess, combined with one of the worst scripts and camera work ever in a Mary-Kate and Ashley movie which is saying something. Are we supposed to believe that the girls were stupid enough to get their car stolen and their parents not only didn't care, but actually gave them a big barbecue with their friends when they arrived home with a $450 taxi fare and THEN buy them expensive plane tickets? Please! The girls themselves never seemed that into it either, leading me to believe they were as bored with the whole thing as I was and couldn't wait for the filming to be over. They are really getting way to old to be in these things now, yet in The Challenge a year later, they were actually quite good.

Howdy My name is Alana, just wanted to say that this movie is great!! that is if u like Mary-Kate And Ashley Olsen. i think there are the best actress in the world and i love all there movies, shows, and books. I really look up the the Olsen twins they have been through so much, and i would really like the money that they are making. This movie along with others have funny parts, sad, upsetting, good, bad, and the really neat ones. "Getting There" has all of this and more. You may not like it but i do and thats all i care about! You should also watch there movie "New York Minute" its a great movie to. And some hot guys in that movie.So this movie "Getting There" is great you should watch it.
