Summary: Okay, but not the best MKA film
Review: Mary-Kate stars as Chloe, and Ashley as Riley (NOT like So Little Tiime!) and they are heading off to London, to compete as China in the Model United Nations. But then they find a "database error" and another group is also doing China.
They then have to do UK instead, and go around the UK doing research. Soppy love scenes make this movie gross, and not THAT interesting on the whole.
London IS a fun place (I've been!) but they do not wear bubble dresses, they shop at Harrods!
Not very good at all, I paid good money as well. Only buy it very cheaply for a 7-9 year old, any older and it'll be moan, moan, moan...

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: OK, but grossly innacurate
Review: As sugary Mary Kate and Ashley movies go, this was OK, but I thought the ending was too predictable, and the portrayal of London and the English was so bad it was hysterical. The actor, Jesse Spencer, who played Riley(Mary Kate)'s boyfriend was so obviously NOT English, that it was no surprise to discover he was Australian. Nobody in England speaks like that, and most English kids don't have fancy luncheons and play polo on the weekends! It was gnerally poorly done, but then again, most American movies about London are. I just think that if the plot was spruced up a bit and the footage of London (and the accents) were made A LOT better, it would be a great film.

Summary: Didn't like this at first they think London... (updated)
Review: UPDATED VERSION- I AM NOW 13
It has the perfect mix of romance, comedy and adventure. Mary-Kate's performance was brilliant and Jesse Spencer (James) is so hot! Ashley did well too. The soundtrack is also quite good, (again Holiday In The Sun's is better) but lacks pop and R'n'B.
This is really good, better than Getting There and so on, mainly because the girls don't act dumb and this has an original storyline. Anyway, the PLOT: Chloe (Mary-Kate, this time) and Riley (Ashley)are taking part in Model U.N., that particular year taking part in London, England. Chloe is the intelligent one and Riles just wants to have fun. But it is a great film. If you have not already, I urge you to CHECK THIS OUT!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Growing Up
Review: I have always loved the Olsen twins, but living in England was always left watching ancient spin offs of two of a kind and ancient films like passport to paris, so when I saw Winning London I snapped it up straight away and I'm glad I did. Winning London shows the girls inn a new light, they've grown up, so I'd say that Winning London is more for teens, than tweens. If you love teen movies and the Olsens this is the film for you, but you may be surprised at how different it is from there past films, but do not thret this new formula is better than ever!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: From a MUN buff
Review: I really wish Mary Kate and Ashley would research their topics a little before they decide to go be cute in their latest location. As an avid Model United Nations participant, I would like to say that YOU CAN'T WIN! Model UN at the high school level involves no points, no competitions, and most of all, NO WINNING! While there isn't nearly as much free time at real MUN competitions as Mary Kate and Ashley enjoy, what little time we have is often spent discussing how inaccurate this movie is and mocking it shamelessly.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: WOW!!
Review: This movie is soooo good! At first i thought i wasn't going to like it but this is Mary-Kate & Ashley's best movie. The movie is really sweet and has 2 really charming guys in it :) I would recommend it to everyone. The movie is mostly for the teens. I'll promise you, you'll enjoy it!

Summary: Mary-Kate and Ashley's Best Movie Ever!!!
Review: When Riley and Chloe's high school's UN team wins the scholarship for public schools, their team is sent to England to compete with other teams from all over the world. When Riley joins the team, making Chloe step down as the best person on their UN team, she has to learn to share the spotlight with her little sister. When Brazil's team ends up with the same country as their's, they must find a new country, conquer the competition and win the attention of all the hot guys, all in time for tea.

I loved this movie because I really love England, learning about the world and Mary-Kate and Ashley movies; this movie was just my type! Not only did I have fun watching this, but I also learned some facts (if they were true) from the UN competitions! The plot was also believable in this movie, making it even more realistic for me to watch. This is such a great movie, that I think it is Mary-Kate and Ashley's greatest movie ever!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Didn't like this at first, they think London is too posh...
Review: London- not like that!:
At first when I watched this great movie, I thought 'What are they doing to London?'. They play polo and speak in incredibly posh accents. I've never even met anyone who plays polo! And it doesn't always rain in England, by the way. But don't go thinking that the not-posh people in England are rough and have no money. No way! Most of England is just normal. I live life like an American!
Great film though: This was one of MKAA's best movies (up until Holiday In The Sun, which rules). It has the perfect mix of romedy, comedy and adventure. Mary-Kate's performance was brilliant and Jesse Spencer (James) is so hot! Ashley did well too. The soundtrack is also quite good, (again Holiday In The Sun's is better) but lacks pop and R'n'B. If you have not already, I urge you to CHECK THIS OUT!

Summary: The best Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen movie
Review: This movie is probably the best Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen movie.
Of corse, you may be wondering why. Because, lets face it, Mary-Kate and Ashley haven't given use anything truely entertaining, with the exseption of there show SO LITTLE TIME in a long time. The reason this movie is so good is that it actuly has a balievable plot. And the fact that the sisters are real. They are friends but they still get on each others nerves. Like real sisters. Of corse there are the traditional Mary-Kate and Ashley personifications in this movie, cute boys, and shopping. But the shopping scene is limited to one (thank goodness), and the "cute boys" actuly have personalities (I know its hard to balieve, but true), they are real characteres. Not just somthing realy good to look at. Its nice to have character development once in a wile, (actually is always nice). Ultimately this film out ways all the other Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen movies. So, if you have a tast for Mary-Kate and Ashely films this is a must see.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not their best film...
Review: Chloe and Riley, along with some other school friends jet off to London for their school's model un comp. However the story is more about the girls, and their guys than the competition itself. It has quite a cute story line, which is unfortunitly spoilt by the boring and predictable ending. All in all a relativly good film, worth watching. Oh, and could'nt they have got a real english actor to play James?!
