Summary: Good but not there best....
Review: Ok...I love Mary-Kate and Ashley, trust me i am one of their biggest fans but lets face it...this movie wasnt that great! It was ok but it was so unrealistic i mean what are the chances of most of these things happening! It was also really predictable. There movies have gotten a little lame and need to be more realistic(definately.) I have seen all their movies and own everyone of them! I know pathetic but i love them. It was good and i would see it once, just because they are my favorite, but it certainly wasnt their best movie at all!

Summary: More Wholesome Olsen Action
Review: "Getting There: Sweet Sixteen and Licensed to Drive" features the further misadventures of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen who now at the age of 16 celebrate the almighty teen rite of passage, getting a driver's license and embarking on that first road trip.

THE STORY:

Mary-Kate and Ashley (playing Kylie and Taylor Hunter) turn 16 and finally earn their drivers licenses. In celebration of their rite of passage the girls and a group of friends embark on a road trip to Salt Lake City to catch the 2002 Winter Olympics. Who would have thought that getting to Salt Lake city would have been so hard though as problem after problem besets the beleaguered group of friends...

THE ANALYSIS:

Overall, like most Mary-Kate and Ashley movies the plot is perfectly harmless and entertaining. The movie should appeal as a great, clean, kids/family movie. The MANY comical misadventures of the group as they head to Salt Lake are amusing at worse and hilarious at best.

THE DVD SPECIAL FEATURES:

This DVD is actually chocked full of goodies. Included in the DVD special features are:

1. One alternate ending to the movie: SPretty funny.

2. Behind the Scenes mini-feature: 6 minute feature where the cast and crew (primarily the twins) talk about the movie and how their experiences filming it.

3. "Getting There" Trivia Quiz: Test your knowledge about the movie!!!

4. Party Planning Tips for Your Sweet 16 Birthday Party: The twins offer their tips on how to make your Sweet 16 the best, even if you are on a budget. Pretty good and sound advice actually...

5. Trailers: The Multi-million dollar Olsen marketing machine was in full force here!!! The twins shill the following from their extensive product line:

a. Their DVD/Video Catalog: including "Holiday in the Sun," "Winning London," "Passport to Paris," and "Our Lips Are Sealed."

b. The "Getting There" soundtrack.

c. Their "Girls Night Out" video game for the Next Gen systems.

d. Their "So Little Time" tv series action dolls.

e. The "Mary-Kate and Ashley in Action" cartoon series on ABC.

f. Their website ... where you can get all the latest information!!!

THE VERDICT:

In all, overselling in the DVD features aside, the movie was decent for a "lazy afternoon" viewing. Olsen fans should love this installment in their ever-growing video franchise series and parents should be pleased with another clean, quality product from America's favorite twins.

Summary: Licensed for Fun!
Review: "Getting There" is definitely worth a look, because it combines the Olsens' sense of fun, style, and charisma in a very entertaining film. All the characters are unique and likeable, and it's really cool seeing how they develop their relationships on a winter trip. The scenery is beautiful, the acting's great, and this movie proves that getting there can really be half the fun!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: GOOD BUT NOT FANTASTIC
Review: This movie wasent so good.The movie was sort of boring
and had a lot of lies like how do you get to the
another fly.The pilots always say were are they going.
I being a olsen fan for ever and i know this movie wasent
great.MY favorite movie is it takes two.Recommended to you is really good.I think is time that the girls take a good script even better that all the movies they have done including it take two.

Summary: OK- very predictable
Review: This movie was not the best- but it's watchable. Mary-Kate and Ashley go on a road trip with some teenage friends and get stuck in numerous very predicatable scenarios. Sometimes it goes a little too far with what happens to them- but it's my opinion. On the good side- the scenery is very nice and what a great way to celebrate your 16th birthday!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Finally Something Different!
Review: Finally Mary-Kate and Ashley do something different instead of chasing for guys. This movie is awesome. I couldn't get enough of all the horrible things that happen. Not that I would like that to happen in real life, but atleast things don't go perfect like they usually do in their other movies. I also thought some parts were kind of funny. Its totally different then their older movies, Which I like instead of seeing the same old boring plot. Its about where Mary-Kate and Ashley and their friends are wanting to go to the olympics but on their way... However I have to admit it was a little predictable. I mean come on who gets a mustang for their b-day and then go on a great trip to see the olympics with their friends. If you ask me they seem like spoiled little brats to me. Every seen in all their movies they look the best they could be. Have some movie where they just woke out of bed with their hair all messy or something so they don't always look perfect. Try to do things more realistic. I love the twins and I have bean a fan for quite some time but they just seem spoiled. I did like this movie because they didn't end up with boyfriends. It is a little different from their other movies. But if I were them I would try to get into the big movies.

Summary: I'm really disappointed
Review: I've loved the Olsen twins since they were on Full house. I never really LOVED any of their movies, but I have to say that I really liked "It Takes Two." Recently their movies have been kind of repetitive- they go to a foreign country and meet two boys. I thought this movie was going to be better, but it wasn't. The whole movie really is about "getting there" and it was the most boring movie I think they've ever made. The boys were surfers, and were portrayed as these mindless idiots. There was a very weak plot, and very little action. It was really stupid how every attempt they made to get to Utah failed. The other thing I didn't like was how once again, mary-Kate and Ashley were living in a fantasy world. They had money to go on planes, buses, cars and other various ways of transportation to get to Utah. Oh, and no chaperones either. Overall, I was really disappointed.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE GREATEST AND FUNNIEST MOVIE
Review: The movie Getting there is a VERY GREAT movie! This movie would appeal to any age. It also has a great story plot and Mary-Kate and Ashley act VERY good in this movie. I found this movie very funny and interesting. It didn't lose my attention. I love Mary-Kate and Ashley and someday hope to meet them in person. They have great style and fashion. I am their number one fan. I suggest you buy this movie because you won't regret it, because I know I sure didn't.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: TOAST ROCKS!
Review: Okay, so I may be a bit bias since my brother is the actor who plays Toast! But I thought it was a very cute and funny movie that will appeal to the younger generation very well. These two girls are very poised and mature for only being 16. They are great role models for young girls, unlike some of the other teenage half-dressed girls out there. It portrays the other path teenagers can take; a path without drugs, alcohol and sex. I'm very impressed with their business skills and maturity! I mean executive producers at 16?! That's unheard of! It's well worth your time to watch my brother play the dumb surfer dude along with this funny cast! Great job...dudes! (female, age 22)
