1st watched 12/25/2010 – 3 out of 10 (Dir-Steve Purcell): Lame, un-exciting straight to video mis-adventure with the Olsen twins which is supposedly about their first car trip after getting their licenses to drive. What actually happens is their car gets stolen on the way to the Olympics winter games in Utah, and their boyfriends(or at least friends who are boys) car gets it's tires blown out due to a stupid mistake of backing up in a drivethru and they have to find other ways of getting there(hence the title). They try a couple different ways of making their destination and eventually make it. Along the way they have of hints of puppy love and nonsense scenes where nothing really happens. This is typical of one of their movies but you'd think their audience would expect a little more from then now that their growing up – but I guess not! The co-stars are rejects from teeny-bopper TV shows at best, and the writing is nil to none with a little better music than we're used to hearing in their videos. I guess if you have a thing for the twins, you'll like the movie – otherwise stay away from it. This movie was definitely from a big merchandising era for the twins, but it didn't last long – hopefully their adult career will give them more to hold onto than their money.

The face of the old woman near Baker or Bishop in California's Owens' Valley tells most of the point of this story.Not all bumble through life as pleasantly as these dudes, well played morons by reasonably good actors. Some get to places they cannot drive out of and still make a life worthwhile.. picking oranges, running bakeries (Paul Schatz' in Bishop rules!), bumming at ski resorts, waiting tables, playing the piano, or..The sequence of driving, busing, flying.. the parallels to college, drifting and 'hunting' their way to figuring out roles in life.. all are quite telling. The kids did a great acting job summarizing the idiosyncrasies of today's youth, I wonder if they realize it themselves?

I really want to comment on previous comments. The comments that says that this movie is so very bad and that it is the worst they ever seen. They also says that the "Olsens" can't act at all and that they are the worst actresses in the entire world. For the first i actually can't understand how people can think so about the "twins" and for the second, if you think that then you really have to hate the "twins" and i really mean HATE! But people are different and all don't thinks the same so i can sometimes understand them that they think so but they then have to hate them as i said before. Because if you like them then you can't hate any of their movies. They are so cute and nice and act very well. Personally i think that the "twins" are very good at acting and doing their own movies because they usually not only plays in their movies they also are the producers and works a lot behind the camera and have a bog part in the making of their movies. They have their own opinions of what they think are good and bad in the script and if they don't something is correct or appropriate they usually change it in the script. So they make a lot of big decisions to make the movie to get even better and more fashion-forward because they always knows what's popular. So after all you can really say that most of their movies are their "own" movies. And this movie was no exception. A lot of the clothes and stuff they are wearing in the movie they have decide themselves. And that is real fashion. It's one special thing in this movie and that is that they are finally licensed to drive. That make the movie different from the other they have done because they can go to other places a long way from home without their parents and only enjoy the time with their friends and of course boys.They can feel a kind of liberty. And on top of all this they get their own car and they decides to drive to Salt Lake City where the Olympic games are at the time. And that become a real adventure for them and their friends, both problems and funny things happens almost all the time. A road trip that take a long time to forget about. A memory for life! These things make this movie so great and worth to see. A little bit different movie with the "twins" and that is rather exciting. Si finally i can recommend you to watch this and don't listen to the persons who thinks that this is the worst movie ever made on earth! They don't know what they are talking about and aren't "real" "Olsens" fan. But you don't need to be a fan to enjoy this movie because it is for all different kind of people. So hope you will enjoy as much as me! Have a great time in front of the TV!

First off, Mary-Kate and Ashley are super-cute in this movie in particular - great outfits and shades. Toast makes the movie. A favorite part of mine is when Mr. Hunter and Toast are cooking at the barbecue and Mr. H says: "Toast, this is USDA prime choice - treat carefully." To which Toast replies, "No prob, Mr. H. I have the utmost respect for meat." Another bit where Mr. Hunter cracks me up is when MKNA's new car is revealed to them and Danny says, "Hey Mr. and Mrs. Hunter, you uh, you think you could adopt me?" And Mr. Hunter just laughs at him. More great scenes - Mary-Kate (Kylie) taking her road test w/ the Asian guy and he's like, I've got two kids that really need to be raised by both of their parents. She's like, "Oh, do you have any pictures?"And the buffet in Vegas is ridiculous. Raj: "No, I am carrying this for Toast." Oh and HOW could I forget the Shamu plug?!? Mary-Kate gets that ridiculously cute look on her face (you know the one I mean, followed by the half-hearted giggle) when she says, "We could always do Shamu." Ashley: "We can't just sit here all day. Anyone, thoughts, ideas, suggestions? ... (looks at Mary-Kate). You say the whale and die."Finally, the scene where Mary-Kate shots down Sam is TERRIFIC! I mean, she doesn't even apologize - yeah girl power! MK: "Actually, chill Sam." Sam: "What?" MK: "I'm just not feeling what you're feeling. I mean, do you see the problem here? To you we should be boyfriend/girlfriend, but what about what's in my head or in my heart?" Sam: "You're not into it?" MK: "Actually, no I'm not. Charcoal has kind of become black and white." Sam: "Kiley, I know you like me." MK: "Sam, liking and kissing are two totally different things I mean, it takes two people to kiss, but it takes two people to want that kiss, I'm just not into it. I mean, you're one of my best friends. But that's the way I like it."
