Too much of everything
Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
You have watched them grow up on the screen, and with each movie, their acting improves (at least in this critics opinion).New York Minute is a fun story filled with romance, mystery, action, and of course, comedy. It is fun and family friendly. While not all of the acting is the best, you can't put this in the low quality film category, although, it doesn't belong at the top either. The Olsen Twins have learned that you can make a good fun movie, and keep it clean, this is a must see for any family.With all of these points in mind I give "New York Minute" 8 out of 10 for being fun, light- hearted, and family friendly.
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.
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!
OK I have a secret pleasure: I like Olsen twins movies. Shhhhhh! ;-) It all started when I was on a bus to NYC, they ran Mary Kate & Ashley's School Dance on the TVs. At first I groaned but then to my surprise I found myself getting caught up in it! While I thought that was a fun movie, New York Minute took it to a new level where a 27YO like myself can enjoy it on a more adult level. I think the plot was witty, original and refreshing. And the girls can really rock too! The concert scene was a lotta fun (trying to find MP3 files). People these movies are all about the fun so don't judge! It's nice to see that as the twins get older their movies adopt more of a "tween" edge. I encourage other post-tweenies ;-) to give MK & A a chance. For my money they are better than Lindsay Lohan...and that's coming from a Lindsay Lohan fan!!!
