Product Description

Action comedy starring Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen. Uptight overachiever Jane (Ashley Olsen), up for a scholarship at Oxford University, has a major speech to give - while laid-back rock rebel Roxy (Mary-Kate Olsen), a friend of Jack Osbourne, hopes to get backstage at a video shoot and slip her demo tape to the band. But Jane's and Roxy's plans go wildly awry and the two must join together when a mix-up involving Jane's all-important day planner lands them in the middle of a black market music piracy scheme.

Amazon.co.uk Review

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen play good girl/bad girl sisters who suddenly find themselves on a high-speed chase escaping crooks, attracting hunks, and wreaking havoc in this lightweight comedy set in the Big Apple. Ashley plays high school scholar Jane Ryan, an overachiever with her sights set on winning a college scholarship competition. Mary-Kate plays her sister, Roxy, a rebellious teen truant who would rather be a rock star than a student. Since their mother's death, the sisters' relationship has been strained. Now their worlds collide when a day in Manhattan forces Jane and Roxy to join forces, overcoming their differences to battle an international smuggling ring while trying to make it in time for Jane's competition. While the script is predictably bland, viewers will enjoy the comedic strengths of Eugene Levy (Serendipity, American Pie) as Roxy's ubiquitous truant officer. Though the twins manage some decent slapstick, their sensuality, sexual innuendo, and suggestive disrobing is disappointing. DVD bonus features include some hilarious bloopers and alternate endings. (Ages 10 and older) --Lynn Gibson

    a 24 year old having a mary kate and ashley movie in her collection lol. I will admit i originally only bought it because im a huge Jared Padalecki fan (he plays Trey) and it was the only one of his movies missing from my collection but i actually thoroughly enjoyed it. Its one of those feel good family films for lazing around on a sunday afternoon.

    For the price of 1 pence albeit with £1.26 p&p it's worth it for this funny movie, it's condition for it being used is alright, has a noticeable scuff at the centre of the top of the front cover but for the money that's acceptable I guess plus it's prepared, thanks for the product

    3.0 out of 5 stars Mary-Kate and Ashley have fun before going off to college
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 September 2004
    My problem when I see Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen running around in robes and towels is not that I find the sexual imagery disconcerting because I remember them taking turns playing Michelle on "Full House" as tiny tots but because even though they are heading off to college this Fall they still look like they should be in junior high. They can do up the hair and the makeup all they want, they still look like kids. I want to say it is because they are only 5' 2", but Sarah Michelle Gellar is a whole inch taller at 5' 3" and she did not look like she should be in junior high when she did "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." However, at this point we would end up talking about body shapes and suddenly a light bulb goes on as to why a popular, successful teenager role model would be starving herself to death, not in an effort to look more beautiful but to look older.
    The Olsen twins are a phenomenon, even now that they are established in the public mind as Mary-Kate and Ashley. They have a string of successful video movies, none of which I have seen and a whole bunch of products associated with them as a brand name, none of which I use, and their official website evinces a definite responsibility towards the generation of young girls who have grown up watching them on television and in their own little movies. With the exception of this summer's tabloid headlines their reputation has been in the too good to be true category and while a lot of people clearly do not get their appeal there are obviously millions of young girls who do.
    "New York Minute" does not seek to exploit that popularity, just to ride it. Taking anything that happens in this movie too seriously is a big mistake because the whole point is to go along for the ride. Ashley and Mary-Kate are Jane and Roxy Ryan, a pair of high school seniors who have grown up to fulfill the oppositional nature of their names. They are being raised by their widower father (Dr. Drew Pinsky) who has been leaving Jane to her own devices as she tries to win a scholarship to Oxford while dealing with Roxy's persistence truancy. The film begins with the big day when Jane is going to give her speech to try and win that scholarship and Roxy is going to cut class to go see Simple Plan in concert and get copies of her band's demo CD to somebody in the music business. Then the girls get thrown off of a train in time to have a bad guy slip a computer chip into Jane's purse and begin the chain of predictable events that will end with the inevitably predictable conclusion.
    Not that this should matter to anybody who loves the Olsens. They do a great job of screaming at the same time and they get to dress up in a bunch of wild costumes. Young viewers are probably not going to think that the pair running around half naked is a bit strange or notice how small they are when they do that great turning leap into the mosh pit at the concert or when they stand next to their respective love interests: Jane's Jim, The Bike Messenger (Riley Smith) is 6' and Roxy's Trey Lipton (Jared Padalecki) is 6' 2". Any film that offers a Kung fu fight between the Olsen Twins and Andy Richter is game for anything and if "New York Minute" is cobbled together from things the girls wanted to do in their first feature film, well it is their money and it is no different from what Sinatra and the Rat Pack were doing in their hey day.
    Actually the only weak part of their performances given what the story is about is the scene where they confront each other about how they have grown apart since their mother died. Then again it makes sense that they would have trouble playing that scene because nothing else could be more alien to their life experience than the idea that a pair of twins would grow apart and go in different directions (unless you are talking having different hair colors). But that attempt to suddenly get serious just did not fit in with the rest of the film and exposed too many of the limitations of the lead actresses. Even in a predictable film like this one it still does not pay to go too far, which is also what happens with the deus ex machina that provides the requisite happy ending and mandates dropping this film another rating star.
    The supporting cast is left to their own devices a lot in this 2004 comedy. Richter plays a bad guy adopted by a female Chinese crime boss and his accent is supposed to be Chinese but it is hard to hear most of the time. Eugene Levy gets to mug a lot as Max Lomax, a truant officer with delusions of grandeur who treats Roxy's case as if she were #1 on the F.B.I.'s Most Wanted List. Dr. Drew gets to be a parent at the fringe of his daughter's life, otherwise he would put a stop to their madcap adventures. Darrell Hammond, not doing imitations for once, plays the poor guy who keeps running into Jane and Roxy so often that he should be convinced they are out to get him. Andrea Martin plays Senator Anne Lipton, who is Trey's mom but also the owner of the ugly little dog who gets pitched out the window in the trailer and whose bowel movement becomes a key plot point.
    "New York Minute" is certainly fun in a mindless sort of way, an dif you do not mind mindlessness than there are enough moments here to enjoy. If this was a film intended to convert the undecided into the Mary-Kate and Ashley court, it probably is not going to go that. But in terms of preaching to the choir, their fans are going to have nothing to complain about here.

    Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen strikes again! This time, they're making a new movie, New York Minute, on an crazy adventure throughout the streets of New York City.

    The story is about two sister, Jane Ryan(starring Ashley Olsen and Roxanne Ryan(starring Mary-Kate Olsen). Their relationship used to be really good before hteir mom died two years ago.After their mom died, singal parented Roxy and Jane began to grow different. Roxy doesn??t care much about her school work, she always skips school and is always being chased by Max Loman, the town??s Traunt Officer. She loves music, and has formed a band with her friends, the band??s greatest wish is to produce an album. On another hand, Jane, the more sensitive twin, thinks that she must fulfil her mom??s wish-to look after the family. She became a total control freak and has got the family in good condition. She is the top student in her school, well, she comes top in everything.

    Then one day, Jane needs to skip school to give a speech in New York that she hopes will make her wish of getting the scholarship to Qxford University come true. Roxy skips school and heads to New York with a CD of her band that she hopes will make her a rock star. But then, things went wrong and they ended up spending the day in New York together. Talk about the story of their lives?Kat last, they??ve discovered something, something that is more important than getting the scholorship to Oxford University, something that is more important that being famous, and Jane and Roxy have also discovered that anything can happen in a NEW YORK MINUTE.

    It??s a really funny comedy, and really adventurous. It??s fun to watch Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, who had been sharing the role of Michelle Tanner on the hit American TV show Fullhouse , and runs a brand of their names starring in a theatrical movie again after It Takes Two in 1995. This movie is the last one they produce before they head into college. So don??t hesitate and get New York Minute on DVD/VHS now.
