Why is it that, in such a cynical age, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen aren't more wary of a backlash against adorableness? Just when pop culture's more cantankerous hounds were harboring hopes that the preeminent pair of sugar-and-spice girls would grow into a couple of gawky teenagers, they've proved themselves more lovable than ever with Winning London. Here, they're tasked with delivering semimature subject matter--straightening out stalled romances, stifling an overactive competitive streak--but they come off as self-assured as ever. The scene is set across the pond, where Chloe and Riley (Mary-Kate and Ashley), along with other members of their high school's Model U.N. team, are strutting their strategic mock peace-bringing stuff at an international competition. While Chloe captures the heart of an upper-crust English boy, Riley sets her sights on teammate Brian, who's clueless enough to call her kiddo. After a breakdown in her budding romance, Chloe, who's accustomed to winning, learns to chill out and consider the more sporting side of competitions. This being a Mary-Kate and Ashley vehicle, shopping for schoolgirl-swanky ensembles is involved, as is boogying with the boys at hot nightspots. Sightseeing excursions to Westminster Abbey and Buckingham Palace, among other places, feel thrown in as educational tidbits for parents' sake; better to buy this video purely for fun--Mary-Kate and Ashley may not be known as the brainiest pair, but London aside, with this movie they'll continue to win hearts. --Tammy La Gorce

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun Fashion Flick!, April 2, 2001

By	Nicole Flowers (United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Winning London [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The Olsens continue to please their fans with another fun film. Winning London obviously takes place in the UK, where the girls and their Model UN team compete in a UN international competition for high school students. In order to learn about their host country, a very cute, very rich London boy, who just happens to be Mary Kate's love interest, gives the group of American teens a tour of the city.

A most refreshing change occurs in Winning London in that Mary Kate and Ashley are depicted as two very distinct individuals; different hair styles, different clothes, different aspirations, all of which makes us see them as two sisters who look alike, but are clearly different people. This is a very positive alteration, one that I think audiences were ready for. An aspect that remains true Olsens however, is their friendship together.

It was great to showcase some other fine young talent; the friend with the video camera was amazingly good, and Ashley's love interest was indeed a babe. This movie had the feel of Dawson's Creek, but with more style.

Worth the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Olsen Twin Movie So Far, June 28, 2001

By	"tina00" (U.S.A.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Winning London [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This movie is the best. It is about two sisters Riley and Chloe who go to London along with 3 other people from their school and perticipate in the Modal U.N. compoition. This movie is different from all other Mary-Kate and Ashley movies becuase the girls Riley and Chloe are totally different and a lot of times don't get along. In Winning London it is the first Mary-Kate and Ashley movie where they are not perfect and their lives don't depend on lip gloss, they are actully somewhat smart in this movie. Winning London is also a very, very funny movie in many ways! This movie also teaches people that their dreams can come true. You should rent or buy this movie today. One thing is that in every Olsen Twins movie they BOTH have to fall in love with someone, this movie has no exaptions to that fact.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's a great movie!!, March 27, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Winning London [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Winning London is an awsome movie! If you've seen Mary-Kate and Ashley's other video Our Lips Are Sealed it is just as good, if not better. Winning London isn't a complete comedy like Our Lips Are Sealed, but is just as good. It's a bit of a drama, but with a twist of comedy on the side. In Winning London, Mary-Kate and Ashley are on a Model U.N. team. They have to compete against people from all around the world. For part of their research, they tour London and go to clubs. In the meantime, they fall in love and learn all what competing is about. If you love Mary-Kate and Ashley, you'll love Winning London. Even if you're not a Mary-Kate and Ashley fan, who knows you might just like it. This movie is for all ages.
