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

great movie.......2006-07-16

After Jane (Ashley) and Roxy's (Mary-Kate) mother dies, they drift apart. Jane is a perfectionist focusing on her future and Roxy is a drummer in a band and could care less about school.

On the same day, they both need to go to NYC: Jane to make a very important speech for college and Roxy to attend a Simple Plan video shoot and give her CD to people who could make them famous.

Everything goes wrong: They get kicked off their train, they get a limo ride from a Chinese man who boot-legs movies and cds and is after them, they sneak into the senator's hotel room to get cleaned up and have to leave fast while they're in towels and bath-robes, a truancy officer is after Roxy, and of course: 2 cute boys they keep "bumping" into and begin dating at the end.

This movie is a crazy, fun, and enteraining film! Fun for the entire family to watch!

Mary-Kate and Ashley fail. Again........2006-06-03

Think of everything that you would despise in a movie. Throw that all in to one, and you get New York Minute. In addition to an excruciatingly terrible plot line, 3rd grade acting, and horrific accents, you also get incessantly annoying 'actors' ripping an hour and a half of your life. An hour and a half that you can never get back, and that may end in some need for cleansing as a human being and the reassurance that, by the way, the world isn't completely full of morons.

Admittedly, I approached the film warily, and I didn't expect much, but I was hoping for a slightly enjoyable film at least, for I am easily pleased. But I was not even granted that relief, and so I sat through the film...hoping against hope that maybe, just maybe there would be a redeeming factor near the end.

There wasn't.

I could not help myself from enjoying this movie - a total surprise.......2006-05-21

Something must have appealed to me about NEW YORK MINUTE for me to add it to my TiVo list. As someone who managed to miss all of the previous efforts by the twins it wasn't an attempt to capture any nostaligic feeling. It wasn't also based on anything related to the story - teens get mixed up in series of mishaps in big city has been done many times before, such as Elizabeth Shue's ADVENTURES IN BABYSITTING. You know what I think it was, most possibly a clip of two totally hot looking blonde actresses (let's face it they are) and the chemistry and comic timing they seem to have together.
No, high-class art NEW YORK MINUTE is not. It's not the funniest movie out either. But what is lacks in what some perceive as it flaws it makes up for with good natured fun. Yes, this is a fun movie. It's fun to see the two go from one misadventure to another initially with a mutual contempt that becomes a realization on the importance of family and family ties.
The movie features Jane Ryan (Ashley Olsen), a straight-A uptight Long island high school student who organizes her entire life around her day planner. She's driven and ambitious and determined to win a scholarship to go study at Oxford in England. She has her speech/pitch ready to be delivered in New York and seems as preapred as anyone could be. But fate has a cruel twist in store for her. Enter her sister Roxy (played by Mary-Kate Olsen), she's about as different from Jane as possible. Roxy is with a rock-band and acts with spontaneity that Jane would find scary. She also has made a habit of playing truant, something that has brought her to the attantion of Nassau Co. truancy officer Max Lomax (played by comic genius Eugene Levy.)
Roxy is tasked with getting her sister to the train station, but she has her own plans for the big city, determined to deliver some demo tapes to record producers on hand for the videotaping of a new rock video. So, the two head for the big city with the bumbling Lomax in hot pursuit. Through some crazy machinations they become entangled up with some music and video pirates (including the hilarious Andy Richter as a goon who thinks he is Chinese) and the son of a U.S. Senator (and her dog) and are soon running through the streets of New York City in little more than bath towels.
I've read a lot of reviewers on her dissing the acting of Ashley and Mary-Kate. Well, it's true that they are not going to be winning any Oscars for their roles here, but they deliver their performances with an infectious enthusiasm that had be lapping up every minute of the movie. I enjoyed it, I simply could not help myself.
This movie comes recommended, and I really didn't think it would be. I surprised myself by enjoying every zany moment of it. And those girls are too cute!

New York Minute.......2006-04-09

Mary-Kate and Ashley are two of the richest teenagers in the world. New York Minute shows the different personalities they can both act out. It has a series of unfortunate events which causes them to turn on each other, but they soon have to realise that they need each other to make things right. As Mary-Kate plays rebel and truant Roxy it's great to see her twin Ashley play the opposite- a germaphobic brainbox with a goal to get in to Oxford University. I totally recommend this dvd for anyone. It even has a little romance for the girls. So what are you waiting for? Get it! lol

Yours Sincerely Sophie Chandler xxx

Description

8 years before they were destroyed, the twin towers of New York City's World Trade Center survived another attack designed to topple them. MINUTE BY MINUTE, A&E's new first-person documentary series, tells the story of the fateful day that, in retrospect, was the first salvo in a conflict to come. The blast came just after noon on a February day. Some speculated that a transformer had blown up, but the truth was soon known--a van packed with explosives had detonated in the garage beneath the famous landmark. It was designed to bring the tower down, and while it failed, it turned the World Trade Center buildings into houses of horror. THE WORLD TRADE CENTER BOMBING uses extensive footage and the personal recollections of dozens of survivors to paint a moving and intimate picture of what it was like to live through the first skirmish in the war on terrorism. Some made it down 110 terrifying flights in stairways filled with smoke. Some were trapped in elevators without any knowledge of what had happened. Some learned lessons that would save their lives on September 11, 2001.
