Taylor and Kylie Hunter are sweet sixteen and licensed to drive. Grab a seat in their classic Mustang convertible as they set out on their very first road trip, to the Winter Games in Utah. Cute outfits, even cuter guys. And all kinds of friends along the way. But watch for Olympic-size detours. Will they ever make it to the velvet-smooth ski slopes and posh Stein Ericksen Lodge at Deer Valley and the big-air snowboarding at Park City? Will they be on time for the Winter Games? See for yourself why half the fun is getting there.

Evengyny Thanks for the memories!
Wordiezett So much average
SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped
cmradu 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?
FurBallsUnite WARNING - MAJOR SPOILERS. I suggest only reading this review if you've already seen this movie! --- Keep in mind while reading this review that it is coming from the mouth of an Olsen Twins fan. This movie is pure garbage. It is the worst Olsen movie, hands down. Probably also the worst movie ever. The acting is worse than usual, the costuming is appalling, the plot is just lame, etc. This movie gets even worse when the twins and their friends finally arrive in Utah, if that's even possible. The camera zooms in on them skiing downhill in bouncy, low-quality black and white footage for no reason whatsoever. The other actors have no talent and are pointless. My biggest complaint is the plot -- even after the children continue to make mistake after mistake and practically visit every state by accident, the parents still let them continue traveling. If my children did such things, I would think they were not ready for such things and take away these privileges.Final word: Avoid this movie at all costs. It is the worst of the worst. Rent *any* of their other movies, please. I beg you. I only gave it one point because I was not able to give zero points.
Cremal I don't mind the usual Olsen movies that much and actually enjoy them for the purposely crappy cheesy appeal sometimes, but this was bad even for them. The movie couldn't seem to make up its mind what it wanted to be, a road trip movie or a snow adventure movie. They tried to have both and it ended up a total mess, combined with one of the worst scripts and camera work ever in a Mary-Kate and Ashley movie which is saying something. Are we supposed to believe that the girls were stupid enough to get their car stolen and their parents not only didn't care, but actually gave them a big barbecue with their friends when they arrived home with a $450 taxi fare and THEN buy them expensive plane tickets? Please! The girls themselves never seemed that into it either, leading me to believe they were as bored with the whole thing as I was and couldn't wait for the filming to be over. They are really getting way to old to be in these things now, yet in The Challenge a year later, they were actually quite good.
Devotchka Oh good grief, this movie plays like a tutorial on how not to make a film. First of all, it stars the disturbingly simian Olsen twins--both of them, of course, since their being twins is the only reason they've still got jobs--as 16 year old girls whose parents let them drive off to Utah with a few friends. Very realistic. The movie itself is filled with little song montages that resemble a low-budget MTV video--the shots become black-and-white, grainy, tinted, or weirdly angled at random. I can see the film editors sitting in front of a computer screen and saying, "Let's have a look at the old effects menu...we want to make sure we get every possible one in there." I don't know--it's not like this movie is supposed to be good, right?
