Marking their first theatrical-release feature since 1995's
It Takes Two, the Olsen twins bring their adventures back to the big screen with New York Minute. 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, All Movie Guide
