What to Know

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.

Separately the characters are annoying; together it's unnervingly like watching one actress playing twins. Go to Full Review Neil Smith BBC.com Jul 20, 2004

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. Go to Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com Sep 18, 2020

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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Melissa M @Lisey Apr 11, 2026 It's fun seeing a film with the Olsen twins all grown up. This movie has car chases, action, romance, stage diving, & old school montages. It's interesting seeing Eugene Levy playing an antagonist for a change. Very cool. Some of the parts with the dog Ronaldo are not doggone funny. However hearing Andy Richter's character Benny Bang trying to speak with the Chinese accent is. Dr Drew Pinsky is as good an actor as he is a doctor. If you like silly slapstick comedies you'll definitely like this movie. See more Cathy B @cathy210 Feb 26, 2026 Good characters. Some plot holes but hey, well worth it for the mix up fight on stage at the end, See more Ed R @JustcallmeER Dec 18, 2025 One of the better Dual Star Mary-Kate and Ashley Olson movies they have made featuring a star-studded cast.

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. See more May 1, 2023 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.
