2.0 out of 5 stars Can we say: UNREALISTIC?!, November 19, 2002

This review is from: Getting There (DVD)

As usual in the Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen films, Mary-Kate and Ashley play two 16-year-old spoiled rich girls who's parents buy them a convertible for their 16th birthday and allows them to take a road trip to Utah for the Winter Olympic games with some friends (both males and females). Along the way, they get into trouble when one of the cars is stolen, and they meet up with some kids who help them. First of all, I can't understand why any parent would give their 16-year-olds a car on their 16th birthdays (OK, maybe some with a lot of money but c'mon, a CONVERTIBLE?!) and then let them take a road trip across country! Maybe if the parents were on dope, but if they were grounded parents, then they should (I hope at least) know better than to do something like that. Also, why on earth were the actors in the film not wearing seat belts? Isn't Hollywood supposed to support the use of their actors wearing seat belts in movies and on TV? For 16-year-olds they should AT LEAST be wearing seat belts! There wasn't much of a unique storyline or plot, and I would've graded this film less but it's the Olsen twins and I don't really want to totally diss their films (I am a fan, after all...don't ask why!). Anyway, the acting is okay, especially by the Olsen twins, but you can't really relate to any of the characters. One of the things that I don't like about the Olsen twins' films is that they always play characters who just like to shop, gossip, and talk on the phone. And then they end up getting to go someplace like London or Australia where they meet cute boys and fall in love and everything has a happy ending.

"Getting There" was a disappointing film. I do not really recommend it unless you are a huge Olsen twins fan.

Score:
60/100

2.0 out of 5 stars I'm really disappointed, June 23, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Getting There (DVD)

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Watch it just because it's so horrible, December 23, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Getting There (DVD)

Normally I don't waste time on movies that I have read or heard so many bad things about, but with Getting There there were just so many 1 ratings on NetFlix I had to see just how bad it was. Three words, they were right.
