Getting There Trailers

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.

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.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have been acting since they were nine months old. And you'd think that after over a decade, they might improved over the years, as most actors do. However, they are notorious for their atrocious acting skills, and awful movies. And as Olsen movies go, this one is by far the worst.Getting There is about a girl named Taylor (Ashley Olsen) who wants to go to the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. She could have gone alone, but no, she brings along her twin sister Kylie (Mary-Kate Olsen, after all, since when have the Olsens' done a movie without the other?), and a bunch of friends.Along the way they get into a load of "hilerious" mix ups as every attempt they make to get there fails. So it's basically a movie about these teens trying to find a way of "getting there".The movie is directed by Steve Purcell who, judging by this movie and his other works, must be the worst director in the world. Second to Ed Wood, though at least Ed Wood was actually entertaining.The camera shots are awful, the lighting is terrible, the acting is atrocious, and the plot is wafer thin. The dialogue is supposed to be funny but the ultra-crap catchphrases are cringe worthy. One word that gets really annoying? "Hype" They all say it like it's a really cool word, you watch in and think "OMG, these kids are SAD!" Ashley Olsen, as always, can be caught acting the entire time and must be the worlds most unnatural actress. Mary-Kate Olsen does her trademark complete overact, with an expression for every word and hands going everywhere. Billy Aaron Brown, as one of their friends, is just annoying, and the other cast are also just pretty irritating to watch.The one good thing about this movie? Actress Alexandra Picatto who plays Charley Simms, a girl the twins and their friends meet on their journey. Picatto is the one actress who actually deserves to be doing something better. She's natural in front of the camera, has screen presence, and can act. However, she may only have seemed good in contrast to the rest of the cast.You'll lose the will to live watching this movie. The best advice I can give you is to save yourself and steer clear!

This has got to be one of the worst movies ever made. I don't see how it could possibly be carrying a 2.7 average rating at the present. I only gave it a 1 because the scoring system doesn't allow a 0.SPOILER ALERT - How can they be so unconcerned when their car is stolen. It was like, "Oh Well, the insurance will cover it." and they are back on the road the next day.And is there anything more disgusting than seeing that Toast character constantly chewing food with his mouth open. I mean, people, pay to see the movie, and they have to see that repeatedly. The joke about him being obsessed with eating got old by about 10 minutes into the film.Conclusion: Spend you time watching something else, like paint drying.

Ok so I liked this movie... I realize that its UBER cheesy, and that they acting kind of sucks.. But i dont know.. Its just a feel good movie.. Its not my favorite Olsen Twin Movie (I think Winning London and Holiday in the Sun top that) but I dont know.Everyone has been complaining that its o realistic, which I understand... with the new car, then the plane tickets, 450$ cab fare, bus tickets , staying at the stein erikson... but then again there are MANY MANY movies that arent realistic... I mean come on! Look at any good movie.. they're not always realistic.. Lord of the Rings, the Princess Diaries... any movie really can be unrealistic.. its just suposed to be good fun..
