Billed as a sort of Ferris Bueller's Day Off for tweens, the plot involves the escapades of two enterprising Long Island girls, Roxy (Mary-Kate Olsen) and Jane (Ashley Olsen), as they decide to dupe their parents and spend a day on the island of Manhattan. It seems the high-minded Jane has a speech to give to a scholarship committee, while the punky Roxy wants to meet her favorite rock band. When Jane's planner gets swiped, however, the girls find themselves embroiled in a political scandal involving a high-powered senator (Andrea Martin), as their high school's truant officer (Eugene Levy) doggedly pursues them. ~ Michael Hastings, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
... an awful film.
-
Susan Walker, Toronto Star
To say that New York Minute is a vehicle for the Olsen sisters is perhaps a slight to four-wheeled conveyances of all kinds.
-
Ted Fry, Seattle Times
Even when it feels forced, the Olsen twins' appeal -- I freely admit -- remains a two-for-one bargain.
-
Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle
Falls somewhere between a home video and a full-blown movie.
-
Joe Baltake, Sacramento Bee
The surprise is that it's the kind of larky entertainment that can make adults feel younger, rather than older, which is the effect that most films for teens have on their elders.
