ThiefHott Too much of everything

Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

kboggs-1 I found it in the bargain bin at Walmart and thought my twins might like it. They do but it sure wouldn't be my first choice. I will say that the scenery is beautiful, although some of it looks like Hawaii rather than Mexico. Which brings to mind the "totems" that the teams compete for. They are clearly Hawaiian/Polynesian tikis. Why they didn't use some sort of Mexican statue is a mystery to me. I guess this is a small point but since the movie attempts to be so PC, it seems like a big mistake. Bottom line - If you have pre-teen girls. It'll probably be hit with them. Otherwise, look for something else.

fregert-1 Every minute of this movie was sheer pain. I would never have watched it voluntarily, but as it happens, I had to translate it for Swedish TV. I'm not very familiar with the Olsen twins's previous work, but I have an idea of what it's generally about. The "twin card" seems to be played a lot. By this I mean that the plot always seems to involve different aspects/problems etc of being twins. "The Challenge" is not an exception. If you're interested in a more detailed commentary about the plot, look elsewhere. I don't intend to delve into that here. The reasons for my intense dislike of it are many. It's not "1-out-of-10-awful" like any other movie I've seen. This one disgusts me with its perkiness, politically correctness and morality. I guess it goes without saying that the story, acting, directing, script etc is disastrous. Enough said! In closing: stay away from it. It was a nightmare to translate (not because of linguistic difficulties...), it's torture to just watch it. And with that, I rest my case.

popcorn_gem_gemz How amazing is this film??? Yet another classic from the Olsen twins (who never get old!) We've grown up with them, all the way from when they played baby Michelle on Full House. In this film we see them acting very mature in order to win a college scholarship. The Challenge fully demonstrates the teamwork that can be achieved even when people hate each other. It is also a summary of how much sisters really do mean to one another. A bit of a cheesy ending, with Mary-Kate and Ashley walking off saying "we will always have each other" to be followed by clips of them throughout their careers. But all in all, a brilliant display!!!

M-KandAobsessed Seeing as my opinion might be a little biased because I am a huge fan of Mary-Kate and Ashley. i will admit that the plot of a T.v show where Shane (M-K) and Lizzie (Ash) both want to get on and recieve college schlorships is a little unrealistic but the actual movie is amazing. This is M-kandA's last straight to video movie and are now beginning their big screen career beginnging with New York Minute so this video was a little sentimental being their last and all. I think their acting has improved from their previous movies and they have really matured. The location was gorgeous as were their clothing, hair and make-up and everything else about the movie. I think if you have seen other m-kand a movie you'll know what to expect and get more than that but if you go into watching this movie thinking it's going to be an Oscar winner maybe your expectations are to high remember it's only a Mary-Kate and Ashley straight to video movie, amazing! but still only a Mary-Kate and Ashley straight to video movie.
