toastandcereal Most people are giving this movie such a bad rating, when it really isn't that bad at all. What were they expecting, an Oscar worthy movie? The movie only has two annoyances for me, and it's the guy from American Pie (can't remember the actor's name) because his acting in this is, quite frankly, terrible. The character is already awful so I don't think they could have picked anyone worse for the role, but his nasally whiny voice is very annoying. Also the limo-driver/planner stealer. The acting is incredibly bad.Sure, this movie is full of cheesy jokes and way too much running, but it's the whole point of the movie. I also think both of the Olsen's acting (Marykate's acting is slightly better) is much better in this film than say, Holiday in the Sun. The scene where they finally confront each other about not being there for each other is actually quite touching, and definitely made me sad. Men should just steer clear of this movie, even if their girlfriend's ask them to watch it, because you're going to be bored (well, maybe not on the towel scene XD) but I think most girls will quite like it, for the Olsen's gorgeous freaking hair, their clothes and makeup, and just to see them act in something when they were more mature. I would recommend to either download it or rent it. If you find it in a sale for £3 that's good too, but definitely don't pay over £7 for this movie, because you might regret it.
TheLittleSongbird I think the best gag of the movie is Trey's line "Is it my birthday?" when he sees Jane and Roxy in just towels, having just come out of the shower. New York Minute isn't perfect, none of the Mary Kate and Ashley movies are, but 3.9 is way too low. I thought it was fun and entertaining, though very predictable. The subplot about the micro chip inside the dog was a little clumsy, but that's me being picky. I must say the music choices are great, with "War" being played very loudly, and then the talented Eugene Levy singing badly (intentionally) "Bad girl what are you going to do when I come for you?" in reference to Roxy. People say it is just an excuse for Mary Kate and Ashley to show off their fashion tips, but it is much more than that. It set out to entertain, and I personally think it mostly succeeded, putting aside the predictable plot and superficial scripting. 7/10 Bethany Cox.
StartingAllOver14 Although it's not a milestone in movie history, "New York Minute" is still a fun and lighthearted film. I liked the Olsen Twins when I was younger and I'm impressed what they have achieved in a young age (and they're younger than me, though) and that they still remained popular as teens. You can easy tell that this movie is most made for the twins fans. This picture is more childish than other teen movies, like "Freaky Friday", "Mean Girls". I didn't enjoyed the annoying and childish score and some of the characters were annoying and stupid. But the songs totally rocked!The twins they're self's are acting okay job in this movie, even it's not their most profound roles of all time. Mary-Kate's character Roxanne was more charming and vivid than Ashley's character Jane. No offense, but doesn't the twins have faces like porcelain dolls?HERE COMES SOMETHIN THAT COULD BE CONSIDERED AS A SPOILER: The story is quite predictable and you've seen stories like this before. Why does every teen movie has to have a improbable romance?SPOILERS OVERDespite that, this is a fun movie. For the fans this will be a perfect picture. For those who are not fans will also enjoy the movie, even they will not exult every minute.
fancy_a_peek If New York Minute were just that, a minute long it would still be a waste of life. I can't believe Hollywood continues to waste money on making retarded films. Who the hell read/wrote this script and thought it was a good idea? I saw this movie free on HBO and it still felt like I was ripped off. The Olsen Twins should stop making crappy ass movies. Aren't the billions they've made from crappy ass products with their names slapped on it enough? God bless the poor souls who see this movie. The Olsen's are money whores and should be jailed at once. If God really does judge us on things we do on this Earth, well then Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen are going straight to hell!
