Jane (Ashley Olsen) and Roxy Ryan (Mary-Kate Olsen) are teenage Long Island twins who find themselves on numerous misadventures when they trek into Manhattan on a school day. While the studious Jane intends to give an important speech in hopes of winning a scholarship, the more relaxed and carefree Roxy wants to track down her favorite New York City rock group. Trailing behind them, however, is Max Lomax (Eugene Levy), their school's obsessive truant officer.

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.

Not great, but Olsen twin fans won't care.

Separately the characters are annoying; together it's unnervingly like watching one actress playing twins.

A hectic, overcooked sugar rush of a movie.

New York Minute is, for the most part, a bottom-of-the-barrel star vehicle that doesn't entirely, at any point, justify its very existence.

Rated: 1.5/4

I can't fathom that even the dirty old men will find much to like with this film.

Admittedly, in all this stupidity there are a couple of laugh out loud moments, but these do not make up for the fact that mediocrity is a poor replacement for talent and comic timing.

"New York Minute" I was watched younger in past time they both actress aren't that famous held by pop punk Canadian band known as : Simple Plan. It was terrible story based on "American girls power" lead into family relationship with independent. I suggested not to watch this film there is nothing special stories in there.

I watched it back in June 2021 when I saw it on Netflix which I didn't even know the movie existed but I recon I was too little of a kid as I was 5 years old in 2004. Truth be told I say the movie was well done by the twins before they quit the industry. Now surely there are a few mistakes and logics that I pointed out but either way it was still a great movie.

The movie was more enjoyable than I expected. The men love interests are one dimensional though. Just there to serve and help the Olsen’s as much as possible.
