Customer Reviews of New York Minute (Widescreen Edition)
Isn't that a Don Henley Song? "New York Minute" is the Olsen twins' second stab at a theatrical outing, following 1995's "It Takes Two", as well as a gazillion straight-to-video flicks. It's about twin sisters (shocker!) with a dead mom (who saw that coming?) who are complete opposites (how new and different!). Jane Ryan (the one called Ashley) is a straight-laced student who has set her sights on a degree to Oxford, and has an important speech to deliver before the day is over. Roxy Ryan (the other one), meanwhile, is a "rebel" who wants to spend the day at a Simple Plan concert (because, after all, that's as punk as an Olsen twins movie is willing to get). However, both of them are soon thrown for a loop when a series of mishaps forces them to spend the day together, outrunning a truancy officer (Eugene Levy) and the Chinese mob (don't ask).
Well, I'm here to tell you, even considering all of the above, that this movie is actually vaguely entertaining.
Yet, I am aware that even slightly enjoying a movie like "New York Minute" goes against everything I believe in. It's a scrap heap of lame jokes, nonsense high jinks and awkward transitions, with a teensy bit of "plot" thrown in for good measure. In fact, it honestly feels as if the writers (Emily Fox, Adam Cooper & Bill Collage) and director (Dennie Gordon) came up with it at one of their support meetings for adult ADD.
So, what is there to love? Well, it actually depends on your mindset. Go in expecting a clever caper and you're likely to loathe it. Also, a bad mood is not compatible with this film. If you're grumpy, you'll hate it even more than the (not so bright) people with high expectations.
However, traipse in with low expectations and a light mood, and "New York Minute" just might work for you. And that's because you're more likely to see it as what it really is: a movie so bad...it's good.
Helping things along is a splendidly game cast. They're willing to put themselves through utter humiliation for a laugh, and at least 6 out of 10 times, it works. The twins are decent little comic actresses (though easier on the eyes than their lines), and their supporting players fare even better. Andy Richter kills as a white man adopted into the Chinese mob (who even sports a fake Asian accent), and Andrea Martin and Darrell Hammond do fine multi-scene cameos. As well, Eugene Levy is hilarious as the loopy truancy officer, even if it's not his best role. He has a gift for turning crap lines into pure gold.
So, there ya have it. One man's assessment on "New York Minute". It's no gem, and I'm not even sure I can justify a three-star rating, but it's a film that's stupid to the point of laugh-out-loud funny, and, ultimately, has a goofy spirit that's hard to resist.
Pretty good
This movie was cute, it had a good story line, the actting was good. There were some funny thing's in it. I especialy liked the part where Mary-kate's person is up on stage and quotes Avril Lavigne. The movie had stupid thing's in it too. Like Levy's person was a little stupid. And there's a scene where there is a kung foo fight scene. A few skimpy clothes but that's about it. It good, I might buy it when it goes on sale. Any Mary-kate and Ashly fan would probbly love it
Yes, I have seen it, and I really liked it
I have seen New York Minute 3 times. I saw it with my friend, Sarah from high school, and I saw it twice with my boyfriend. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen did a very good job in this movie. I think it was one of the best movies they've made. I really liked the part where Jane was on the train, and Roxy snuck on and she couldn't show she had a ticket, so the ticket checker kicked her off, the Jane got kicked off the train, because she couldn't find her ticket in time, and the ticket checker thought she was the same girl who he kicked off before. Then the girls ended up spending the whole day together and they got to know each other again. I really like Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, And I have got all their movies, I have not bought New York Minute yet, but I'm going to be buying it when I go out again.
