Overview
Top student Jane Ryan heads to Manhattan for a college-scholarship competition. Her rebellious twin Roxy Ryan goes along to crash a video shoot.

To say that New York Minute is a vehicle for the Olsen sisters is perhaps a slight to four-wheeled conveyances of all kinds.
Susan Walker, Toronto Star
Fresh
Even when it feels forced, the Olsen twins' appeal -- I freely admit -- remains a two-for-one bargain.
Ted Fry, Seattle Times
Rotten
Falls somewhere between a home video and a full-blown movie.
Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle
Rotten
Pure pablum and tiresome in the bargain.
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
