No, you're not seeing double - twin sisters Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen really are BOTH that bad at acting. You might think that their now-considerable years of performing experience (they made their debuts as toddlers on US small-screen show 'Full House' way back in 1987), along with the fact that there's TWO of them, might substantially improve the chances of at least one of them possessing some modicum of talent. But no, the pair of just-turned-18-year-olds are as identical in their crippling dearth of thesping ability as they are in their creepily over-sexualised good looks. Seriously, if one of them had pulled out sick, you could have made this entire movie with cleverly positioned mirrors and nobody would have been any the wiser.

The horrendously over-made-up siblings (you get the feeling the pair of them could quite comfortably keep the entire mascara industry in business) play schoolgirls Jane (that's Ashley) and Roxy (Mary-Kate). Jane's the clever-clogs of the pair (we know that because she briefly wears glasses - though not long enough to ruin her looks, obviously) and Ashley's the wild one (nothing screams "out of control" like a Metallica t-shirt, after all).

One day, both just happen to be going to New York - Jane to read out some swotty speech or other, and Ashley to attend the video-shoot of generic US rock band Simple Plan. So, pursued by bungling truancy officer Max Lomax (Eugene Levy), they set about making their way to the Big Apple. Oh, you can almost taste the fun and frolics they're going to get up to in that big city together, can't you? No. You can't.

'New York Minute' doesn't even attempt to hide the fact that it's a shameless career vehicle for the Olsens. The real problem is, it's not just a vehicle - it's a car crash. Witless, spiritless and devoid of even the slightest level of entertainment value, it's without a doubt one of the worst movies of the year (spare a thought for director Dennie Gordon who, with 'What a Girl Wants', was also responsible for one of the biggest crap-fests of LAST year).

The plot is basically a very bad rip-off of

It's Got: An inexplicable sub-plot involving a dog, a microchip, and a bloke who thinks he's Chinese.

It Needs: To have been given the same straight-to-video treatment as the rest of the Olsen's flicks.

Alternatives: Ferris Bueller's Day Off, What A Girl Wants, The Lizzie McGuire Movie

Summary: A 'New York Minute' supposedly means a very short period of time, but don't let the title fool you - this skull-crushingly bad film is at least 90 minutes too long. Overall Score: 2 out of 10

i feel like killing you'll!i happen to be a major mk and ash fan and new tork minute is my all time favourite movie.i think they acted pretty well in it and they are not overly made up...their look is supposed to be "raw".their adventures are jam packed with action and thrill...and you are drawn to the tv screen throughout the movie.eugene levy does a good job too.NEW YORK MINUTE RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!you have no(ABSOLUTELY NO)rite to trash mary-kate and ashley's efforts.

Hi u bunch of pessimistic scumbags...(apart from the fans) - i thought the movie was entertaining...well it sure beat playing tetrix or inflight movie trivia for like the 10th time! LOL...it was a 9 hour flight, so i though what the heck, lets watch it...and it wasnt bad...iliked it...but here again, if ure lookin fo reality, u sure as heck wont find it in this movie...the usual teen crap - add a couple of cute guys in it and u have ppl falling all over the place to watch it...i think the olsen twins' best acting was when they were in full house...since then theyve been very ordinary.

marykate an ashley olsen cant act 2 save their lives,all their films are about them havin a gd time at the expense of the viewer(i get bored of them ridin around on bikes or skiing). i think the best films they made were the ones when they were young an cute once they got passed the age of 12 the films they made wer BORING!!

Oh my god!!! Everybody who did they down are only jealous! Look, they are 18! what were you doing when you were 18? You have ****ed all of your neighbor's daughters and had a good time! Now they are famous and you are NOTHING! To talk bad about two girls oft the age of 18 is very easy! And by the way, the movie were the best they've done!

The reviewer was kind. This is the worst film ever made. I haven't seen it but having been subjected to half an episode of Full House years ago I know it was very very bad.
Comment by:- RickH | www.google.com.au | 27 October 2004 | ip: logged

Well guys i think Mary Kate and Ashly are good girls but the were more nice and cute and best in acting when they were small like below 10yrs. the movies and tv sitcoms they did in the teen age are just ok not that Fascinating, they have made them selves look more older than their age with all that makeup and grown up dresses. they look more nicer and smater if they stay and maintain the looks of an ordinary girls. Dont fell for fame girls.

The Olsen Twins are the most beautiful girls in the world. I wud do netin 2 meet them. U all slag them off thinking u know wot its like 4 them....u dont u wa.nkers. I live in London and they dont get much media coverage but wen they do its good. U fuc.k arounds are all jelous nd are pathetic slagin off 18yr old girls who only try 2 entertain kids. FU.CK you if you say shi.t. P.S Come 2 London MK and Ashley, London is heavy

I hate Mary-Kate and Ashley. I think it`s to much: Look at that guy! He's so cute!
And they allways get a boyfriend at the end. I dont think they are bether than us, just because they are rich. They did'nt enything fore getting they first character. They only did'nt shout. And they are to small. Mary- Kate had eating problems before, but now she's out of the clinic. She's very stupid, cause i think she come on the clinic because she would be smaller.
