Yep, they’re all grown up. And "New York Minute" delights in showing audiences just that. Our beloved Olsen twins—now nearly 18—are paraded around Manhattan (actually Toronto in some scenes) with only a skimpy towel or terry robe to hide their budding bods (the towel actually flies off in one action-packed moment). Ashley’s skirt is ripped off when it becomes entangled in a bicycle. There is a dream sequence in which Ashley is delivering a speech stark naked. And a sequence in a Harlem beauty shop—"House of Bling"—has the duo trying on various hooker-style outfits and wigs in their effort "to clean up." All grown up, indeed.

This is all subtly accomplished, couched in a screenplay about a college scholarship, sibling rivalry and an obsessed truant officer. It is just annoying that these sleazy teases are included in what could have been an innocent family flick. What kind of messages does this imagery send to young girls who make up the Olsen twins fan base?

"New York Minute" revolves around a day in the life of two very different sisters. Jane Ryan is an uptight, overachiever who is scheduled to deliver a speech that could determine an Oxford University scholarship.

A free spirit drummer and sometime student, Roxy Ryan plans to skip school and attend a Manhattan rock concert, where she hopes to distribute her group’s demo CD. Hot on her heels is Max Lomax (doing a rehash of his detective role in "Splash"), a truancy officer intent on finally nailing Roxy and earning reinstatement on the NY police force.

All of these plans go awry when they become entangled in some bizarre movie/music-pirating scheme, after a microchip falls into Roxy’s purse and Ashley’s day planner is lost. Chased all over the city by Bennie Bang, son of the Chinese underworld ringleader, the duo finds themselves in sewers, hotel rooms, and finally at Columbia University. Along the way, a bike messenger and the bad-boy son of a senator offer assistance. Of course in the end, Ashley gets the scholarship, the villains are caught, Lomax gets cute, and the sisters resolve their differences and meet-cute those two hunky guys. Yeah, there is kissing. Didn’t I say these girls were all grown up?

Certainly the supporting cast brings this mediocre screenplay up a notch. Andrea Martin (former SCTV cohort of Eugene Levy) plays a NY senator and owner of the pup who has swallowed the valued microchip. Darrell Hammond, of "SN Live," has a thankless role of the unfortunate business exec that keeps ¾ literally ¾ running into the twins. And Jack Osbourne gets to weird-out as Roxy’s band manager.

"New York Minute" adds nothing to the filmography of the Olsen twins. With a screenplay that recycles elements of countless other films, while upping the tempo, it is clear that the primary focus is not on an original script but on the girls ¾ their heavily made-up eyes, cute outfits, and one-note, wide-eyed acting.
