Summary: Well, it may have been good if they had included a plot...
Review: I'm not even going to begin talking about how unrealistic this movie is because it's irrelevent. What IS relevent is the clear lack of talent involved in this film. The Olsen twins ARE NOT ACTORS!!!! They are personalities. They play the same characters in EVERY MOVIE THEY ARE IN. If you are a particularly materialistic person, and go to movies because of the cute guy or girl or the cool cars or clothing, then this movie will be your dream come true. But for everyone else, this movie is a horrible, nightmarish abomination on the face of the planet. Here are the problems:Acting? None whatsoever. I wish I could make money by being myself on film. Dialogue? Nope. The words "like" and "dude" are uttered every five seconds. Cinematography? Repetetive. The audience is insulted because obviously we can't tell the difference between one shot which is tinted blue, and another shot which is opaque. Entertainment value? Maybe if you like the whole "road trip gone wrong" thing. But this is even poorly done because of the complete lack of any sense of humor. Plot? Predictable at best, confusingly simple at worst. Climax? A stirringly boring monologue of Mary-Kate's, in which she pours her heart out to an unknown teenage pianist. In as few words as I can put it, I hate this movie.

Summary: this is a great movie! - a review from a 16 yr old girl
Review: You'd think Mary-Kate and Ashley would do a movie that wasn't embarrassingly stupid sometime in their life. Yet, they are already sixteen and they're repetitive idiocy keeps oblivious kids, hopeful teens, and perverted old guys happy. Getting There is probably the worst of their movies. We already know that the twins can't act for crap, but that doesn't mean they have to act retarded. Bask in MK&A and friends' corny lives with no sense of depth and real life. If I were one of their parents, I would check under the teens' bed for a supply of drugs and alcohol. Just watch this movie and you'll see. They seriously act like their on something. It makes you want to do a spoof of the movie, but if you did, the spoof would be exactly like the real thing.

Summary: an unrealistic flick with bad acting
Review: Aside from the Olsen twins, I thought the acting in this film was downright...well, it was bad. The movie was also unrealisitic. What parents let their twin daughters, their 2 friends, and 3 members of the opposite sex go to a ritzy ski lodge in Utah to watch, of all things, the Olympics? And what parents give their kid a fire engine red convertible for their birthday? And what kids just keep buying zillions of plane tickets, throwing away about 200 bucks per ticket? And who thought a movie about trying to get somewhere would be entertaining? The only reason this movie got 2 stars was because there were a few remotely funny parts, and the Olsen twins were what held the whole movie together. Them not ending up with boyfriends was pretty funny - their friends did though. Usually their movies are like they say hi to a boy and he falls instantly in luv. Although Kylie does have an admirer in this movie...

Summary: Not Mary-Kate and Ashley's Best Movie
Review: Getting There, a movie with Mary-Kate and Ashley was probably one of their worst movies they have ever made. This movie is an endless cycle of getting lost in the middle of nowhere constantly, with only a small portion being dedicated to Salt Lake City and the Olympics. The acting by most characters was not as good as normal, (Mary-Kate and Ashley were still great!) The one part of the movie that I really did like was when MK+A were at the Olympics and their friend breaks her leg, one of the twins hooks up with a really hot skiier and at the end of the movie when all of them go sledding.
There were some great parts in this movie, but I was overall disappointed.

Summary: great escape for young girls!
Review: I am not ashamed, as a 21 year-old woman, to say that I fully enjoyed this cute little flick from the Olsen twins. While baby-sitting my 11 and 7 year-old cousins we sat and watched it and I love how it sparked their creativity and their funny bones! The 7 year-old not so much, but the older one loved it! They are there to totally allow pubescent girls an escape from reality (cuz I know I never got a brand new convertible and an unchaperoned vacation for my 16th birthday - my parents took me fro dinner and I went bowling with my friends!), and gives them a positive outlook on life from girls who are good role-models (though they don't wear seatbelts through the WHOLE thing!! BUCKLE UP!). They always have imaginative and fun characters, fun plots with innocent love-stories to go along which are reminiscint of my highschool boyfriends etc. Plus, check out "toast" cuz he's hilarious and reminds me of a guy I knew! Anyways, for any parents checking this out, my cousins are like a daughter and son to me, I spend A LOT of time with them and am very overprotective and think of it this way: the Olsens' are great examples of what ambition and discipline can lead to and they do it by being good rolemodels and having fun. sure, their bellies may show once in a while but...I'd rather have young girls watching them than even listening to someone like Britney Spears. For the younger girls looking at this - check out this movie because it is totally fun and will make you wish you were 16, had a twin, a car, and kleenex for when you cry from laughing at Toast!

Summary: INCREDIBLY AWESOME!
Review: Alright, the first thing I really wanted to say is, hello, they have chaparones in the Steve Erikson lodge!!! I wish you peeps would STOP finding SOME SORT OF REASON TO MAKE THIS MOVIE LOOK INCREDIBLY BAD, when it isn't! Hello peeps, this is the most PERFECT movie to watch in a sleepover, girls. And Billy Aaron Brown is the most HOTTEST guy ever, and all the people in this movie are PERFECT to play the characters, and if you have a problem with an incredibly awesome movie, Getting There, then.... you have no taste in Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen movies. The best Mary-Kate and Ashley movies are Getting There (NO MATTER WHAT YOU PPL SAY!!!), Holiday In The Sun, Winning London, Our Lips Are Sealed, and When In Rome!

Summary: Horrible
Review: This movie was honestly, PAINFULLY BAD. I forced myself to sit through the entire thing, praying it would get better. It didn't. This is by far the Olsen twins' worst movie (excluding the ones in which they're very young and seemed to think they had singing talent). It had no point, honestly, I'm NOT joking! Here's the plot: Taylor and Kylie (the twins) and their friends (who are worse actors than they are) decide to go to Salt Lake City for the winter olympics (alone of course, and they're what? 16?) along the way they get into some very unrealistic, predictable problems. Surprise, surprise. I think that their acting skills are getting worse. They were horrible in the very begining of their career, they started to get better for awhile (in movies like Winning London) but now, they're getting really bad again. All they did in this movie was giggle (not laugh, giggle) about their stupid jokes that were not funny AT ALL. You know it's going to be a bad movie when the characters are named "Toast." Usually their movies are fun in a stupid sort of way, but this wasn't at all. It was like they tried to give the movie a good plot, but didn't know how. They didn't even have good clothes like they usually do. Some of them were nice, but most looked like they were from the trash or something. Honestly, trust me, I actually like the Olsen twins, and I HATED this movie. Don't waste your money, but one of their better movies, like "Winning London" or "Our Lips Are Sealed."

Summary: Primo Choice for Real Fans
Review: This movie rocks. You must watch it for the characters, which are the best casted and most enjoyable of all their movies. The plot has been criticized by some but the movie has other important strengths. The plot is merely a shifting background for the hilarious personalitities. For example,Toast is a stereotypical surfer-dude who is just TOO obsessed with eating. "Dude, Sam... Lunch is like the fifth most important meal of the day." Danny is the leader of the boys, who you might remember from Holiday In The Sun. Sam has a hopeless crush on Kylie (Mary-Kate). Many teens will be able to relate to their relationship. Kylie shows girls a gentle, yet firm way of letting a guy down. One memorable attempt to tell him she wasn't interested was, "We're in that area... the gray area, between friends and...... Friends." Jen is really charming and sweet, and definitely maintains the beauty quotient for the group. Guess who gets her s'mores-flavored kiss when they get to the lodge? Lindy is the cute airhead, who seems to get excluded but ends up with one of the boys by the end. Charlie is the unexpected heroine of the group. This time, Mary Kate is the wild one and Ashley is the cautious one. As usual, the twins (and their friends) are enviable for their luxurious lifestyle and permissive parents. One of my favorite lines was when the twins' parents surprise them with a classic Ford Mustang and Danny says, "Mr. and Mrs. Hunter... Think you could adopt me?" The music really adds to the humor and emotion of Getting There. For example, listen to the theme that goes along with all of the developing boyfriend-girlfriend moments. The dialog is well written because there are a lot of inside-jokes you feel you are a part of. The strength of the movie is its way of giving you a comfortable familiarity with the friends. I recommend this movie to their fans. I finally bought it, after watching it five times. But in all fairness, the first time I saw this movie, I thought it was their worst one! I put it in again because there was nothing else on TV and then I discovered the things that made it hilarious and very endearing. I think you will too! This movie is different from all the others because it is never about the parents or catching the bad guys.
