New York Minute

Critics Consensus

Feels more like a calculated product designed to expand the Olsens' brand than an actual movie. Also, it contains ethnic stereotyping and sexual innuendo.

Movie Info

Marking their first theatrical-release feature since 1995's It Takes Two, the Olsen twins bring their adventures back to the big screen with New York Minute. Billed as a sort of Ferris Bueller's Day Off for tweens, the plot involves the escapades of two enterprising Long Island girls, Roxy (Mary-Kate Olsen) and Jane (Ashley Olsen), as they decide to dupe their parents and spend a day on the island of Manhattan. It seems the high-minded Jane has a speech to give to a scholarship committee, while the punky Roxy wants to meet her favorite rock band. When Jane's planner gets swiped, however, the girls find themselves embroiled in a political scandal involving a high-powered senator (Andrea Martin), as their high school's truant officer (Eugene Levy) doggedly pursues them.

Audience Reviews for New York Minute

    Basically dull and glossed up stupidity with the sole intention of bringing back the deceased acting prowess of the Olsen twins, New York Minute could easily be one of the worst and most pointless films ever to be produced.

    Fun when I was a kid, but its very cliche now!

    Yes...I actually rented an Olsen twins DVD. I was bracing for the worst and it turned out to be an okay movie. For what it's worth...I thought the Olsen twins performed well in this film. And their characters were interesting enough...I stuck around until the end. Eugene Levy is his crazy self. He seems to play the same character in every movie. Must be that hair of his. It *never* changes.
