Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
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.
"Getting There" is an enjoyable teen road trip movie--another in the Olsen twins' successful direct-to-video series. While this film was not one of my very favorite Olsen twin movies (I'd say "Winning London," "Our Lips are Sealed," and "Passport to Paris" are among my faves of the direct-to-videos) it was still an excellent movie. I enjoyed the misadventures the Olsens' characters and their friends in the movie had on their journey from L.A. to Utah for the Winter Olympics--while unlikely that in real life they'd experience all their various mishaps on the same trip (missed flights, stolen cars, etc.), the mishaps did really feel like things that would happen in real life. That was what impressed me with this movie and also with "Winning London"--the characters and their adventures felt so real. I mean, these teens acted like the group I had been around in youth and what I would see when I was around my cousins and their friends--other so-called "teen movies" don't have that same feel. When watching the movie, I really felt like I was along for the trip, and I loved that. All in all, I highly recommend this movie if you want an enjoyable and clean teen flick.

Oh good grief, this movie plays like a tutorial on how not to make a film. First of all, it stars the disturbingly simian Olsen twins--both of them, of course, since their being twins is the only reason they've still got jobs--as 16 year old girls whose parents let them drive off to Utah with a few friends. Very realistic. The movie itself is filled with little song montages that resemble a low-budget MTV video--the shots become black-and-white, grainy, tinted, or weirdly angled at random. I can see the film editors sitting in front of a computer screen and saying, "Let's have a look at the old effects menu...we want to make sure we get every possible one in there." I don't know--it's not like this movie is supposed to be good, right?
