New York Minute is almost exactly what I would have expected from Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen. Although it was their first major motion picture release, I could not bring myself to believe it would be anything more than their past endeavors only with a higher budget. Turns out I was right.
If you go into this movie expecting a Mary-Kate & Ashley movie, then you will only be minimally disappointed. It was definitely targeted for young teenage girls. If you expected something else, then you may be challenged mentally and I urge you to seek professional help. You should not blame anyone but yourself if this was not what you expected. However, if you knew what you were getting yourself into, you would most likely still be disappointed. Some of their earlier movies were more entertaining, even though those, too, were geared towards kids. I found this movie boring and hard to watch all the way through. I somehow managed, but it was a little painful.
Eugene Levy may have been the brightest part of New York Minute, as truant officer Max Lomax. The twins themselves were not bad either but their acting suffers from bad writing. I liked Mary-Kate's character of Roxy Ryan, a Ferris Beuller type wannabe.
As a whole, I rated this movie 6 out of 10. I would not recommend it unless you are of the biggest Olsen Twin fans out there.
