Hooray for Mary-Kate Olsen
and Ashley Olsen (not Mary-Kate
and Ashley Olsen) in their new
film, “New York Minute.” Not
only is it totally cool, but the twins
also look super cute with the help
of awesome wardrobe' adviser
Judy Swartz.
But, seriously, “New York
Minute” is like a totally huge step
for the twins. Mary-Kate
and Ashley have
totally stepped out
of their usual
\ roles as two
\ preppy hot
chicks
and
a v e
stretched
them-
selves to
h e
limit
preppy hot chick and one rocker
hot chick. It’s totally rad.
“New York Minute” takes
viewers on a fabulous trip through
New York City. Preppy nerd Jane
(Ashley Olsen) has to give a 3 p.m.
speech in NYC which will decide
if she gets a. full ride scholarship
to Oxford University (rich girls
have all the luck). Roxanne (Mary
Kate Olsen), the rocker twin,
wants desperately to make it to a
Simple
Plan
video
shoot
(although suspiciously donning a
Metallica quarter sleeve). Will
they make it in time?
Well, they would if not for
truancy officer Max Lomax
(Eugene Levy). There’s also
Bennie Bang (Andy Richter), an
average white guy who thinks
he’s Asian, all the while caught
between his Chinese adoptive
mother and a music pirating
scheme. What a stupid head.
Max is determined to catch
first-class truant Roxy in the
action of cutting class, and
Bennie swears to his mother that
he will return a chip containing
condensed files of unreleased
albums. The catch? The hairless
mutt of a dog, which belongs to
the senator mom of Roxy’s love
interest Trey Lipton (Jared
Padalecki) has gone and swal
lowed the chip (how unfortunate
and entirely unexpected).
But the movie, like, marked a
milestone for the twins. They
totally proved themselves to be
totally awesome actresses. They
send such a good message to
girls: they can be a rocker
chick or a preppy chick and
still be totally fashionable. Just
because Roxanne had knotty,
ratty hair didn’t mean she’s
dirty, just that she’s cool. And
even though Jane had ambitions,
like,
£>o FUN!
that doesn’t mean that she can’t
look hot in the meanwhih
“New York Minute” has
totally good message.
Perhaps the cleverest
part of the entire film J
was a cameo by Bob
Saget as he curiously 4
stares at the twins as if
he’s seen them before.
In the end, Roxy
