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.
Theatrical Release:30-07-2004
Synopsis: Today is the biggest day in the super-organized life of uptight overachiever Jane Ryan (ASHLEY OLSEN). She's due to give a major speech at Columbia University for a competition to win a... [More]

Reviews for New York Minute
...the Olsens crassly demonstrate that the quickest way for young women to dress for success is to wear as little as possible.

The film rests on a contrived and predictable plot.

... an awful film.
05/13/04
It simply relies on the hope that Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have such a devoted fan base that they will immediately rush out and support their film, no matter how bad it may be.

In what alternate universe could we really find an Olsen twin (which one hardly matters) playing drums on a recording of Bowie's "Suffragette City?"

At last -- a film that will appeal to both the tween market and the raincoat crowd! (Some folks say art can't bring people together?)
05/11/04
It’s all lifeless material that might have been saved by the leads’ charms, but as it turns out, they have none.
05/11/04
All that's really resolved is that the Olsens aren't very accomplished actors, and a plot as contrived as this is a slap in the face to anyone in the audience over age 10, but this is hardly unexpected.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have many millions of dollars... But in New York Minute, despite a lavish budget and one of the most expensive movie sets in the world -- the island of Manhattan -- they can't buy love, talent, or a decent script.

The Olsen girls’ “Minute” seems like hours and hours of silly entertainment

[It] may be the first movie that could play in a double feature with either something with Hillary Duff or Lindsay Lohan or with one of the film versions of Lolita.

Dear Eugene Levy: Please consider me as a qualified candidate for the position of your agent.

[No nudity] is shown, but the point is made: guys, they know what you’re thinking.
05/08/04
A terminally lame teen comedy with a grade-school mentality.
05/08/04
...a misguided vanity piece for the twin teenyboppers. Shockingly, this is one pronounced slab of pre-adolescent pabulum at its finest…or at its worst—simply take your pick
