- Synopsis
- Twin sisters Jane and Roxanne Ryan begrudgingly journey together from their Long Island home to New York City, where meticulously prepared overachiever Jane (Ashley Olsen) is due to deliver a speech to qualify for a prestigious college scholarship abroad. Meanwhile, laid-back punk rock rebel Roxy (Mary-Kate Olsen) hopes to get backstage at an underground music video shoot and slip her demo tape to the band. But Roxy's and Jane's plans go wildly awry when a mix-up involving Jane's precious day planner lands them in the middle of a shady black market transaction. Pursued by an overzealous truant officer (Eugene Levy) and accused of kidnapping a Senator's dog, the Ryans must find a way to work together to thwart the forces threatening to jeopardize Jane's college dreams and ship Roxy off to a convent school.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"As human Kewpie dolls, the Olsens' basic function is to try on as many new outfits as humanly possible within the span of 86 minutes"
-
"The movie's no good: It's written, directed, performed, photographed, edited, and marketed on a fifth-grade reading level"
-
"A coy, frantic attempt at screwball comedy"
-
"The movie may be more bogus than a Gucci bag for sale on a Fifth Avenue sidewalk, but at least the backgrounds are real."
-
"The effect isn't just frenetic, unfunny and dull. It's kind of creepy."
-
"As far as acting goes, neither Olsen is ready for Euripides' Medea, yet each projects well enough in their shared big scene."
