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.

1.5/4

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.

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.

A very fun movie that I used to watch a lot as a kid. I still enjoy the movie but despite some funny bits, the plot is pretty bland and the racial stereotypes are really troubling.

Terrible movie. Just... awful.

A bit funny, a bit boring, a bit lame, a bit clever. I can't decide whether I like or hate this movie. But I guess it has hot guys and a white guy with an Asian accent, so I guess it's okay.
