Description:

This G-rated effort from the wholesome twins covers the rites of passage of American 16-year-olds: getting the driver's license and getting the cherry red convertible (OK, that may not be universal). Mary-Kate and Ashley (playing twins Taylor and Kylie) invite two girlfriends to hit the road with them for the Winter Olympics in Utah, while three male friends attempt to make the same trip in their convertible. But the expedition is fraught with snafus: one car stolen, the other damaged, flight delays, and wrong buses. In the end, the kids hook up with a teenage orange-grove heiress who ferries them in her dad's private jet. They miss the Winter Games but get to snowboard, ski, and do cannonballs into a heated pool. One parental peeve: Although the girls wear ski helmets, they never "buckle up" during the numerous car scenes. This 80-minute movie will appeal most to girls ages 8 to 12. --Kimberly Heinrichs
