[edit]

The movie has been out for awhile and the numbers prove that the movie is no longer an "alleged" financial bomb. I think history has proven cause and consequence.

P.S. I watched the DVD and I liked the it!

Critical response

Like most of the entries in the Olsen twins's filmography, New York Minute is intended to be a vehicle for the sisters. As such, it was met with what could be described as "anticipated criticism" on the part of both the media (with the exception of some teenage-oriented publications and websites run by fans) and critics. Some have argued that this would be backed up by the fact that the movie was unsuccessful at the box office (or a "bomb"). Among the most common criticisms is that the movie is a succession of clichés tied together by a weak script, in addition to oversensualizing the image of the sisters, allegedly in order to capitalize on the "frenzy" brought on by the twins' 18th birthday. Another criticism is that the movie features ethnic stereotypes of Indians, Chinese, and African-Americans. Additionally, many have pointed out that the movie, which takes place in New York City and which has "New York" in its title, was filmed almost entirely in Toronto Canada.

Notwithstanding the criticism in whatever valid points, one could argue that the movie was successful in its primary goal, since it did reach its target audience and helped further the image — and the businesses — of the Olsen sisters.

Trivia

  • New York Minute was the lowest earning movie of 2004 for films showing at over 3,000 theatres. It only made an estimated 14.1 million dollars at 3,006 theatres.
  • Bob Saget made an appearance as himself in this film. Saget, along with the twins, were in the TV sitcom Full House.

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.

Question

[edit]

Jared Padalecki (Trey) is the guy with the dog obsessed mom right? And does Jane or the other one like him? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.17.72.143 (talk) 18:25, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
