Summary: 4 Stars
"Getting There: Sweet Sixteen and Licensed to Drive" features the further misadventures of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen who now at the age of 16 celebrate the almighty teen rite of passage, getting a driver's license and embarking on that first road trip.THE STORY:
Mary-Kate and Ashley (playing Kylie and Taylor Hunter) turn 16 and finally earn their drivers licenses. In celebration of their rite of passage the girls and a group of friends embark on a road trip to Salt Lake City to catch the 2002 Winter Olympics. Who would have thought that getting to Salt Lake city would have been so hard though as problem after problem besets the beleaguered group of friends...
THE ANALYSIS:
Overall, like most Mary-Kate and Ashley movies the plot is perfectly harmless and entertaining. The movie should appeal as a great, clean, kids/family movie. The MANY comical misadventures of the group as they head to Salt Lake are amusing at worse and hilarious at best.
THE DVD SPECIAL FEATURES:
This DVD is actually chocked full of goodies. Included in the DVD special features are:
1. One alternate ending to the movie: SPretty funny.
2. Behind the Scenes mini-feature: 6 minute feature where the cast and crew (primarily the twins) talk about the movie and how their experiences filming it.
3. "Getting There" Trivia Quiz: Test your knowledge about the movie!!!
4. Party Planning Tips for Your Sweet 16 Birthday Party: The twins offer their tips on how to make your Sweet 16 the best, even if you are on a budget. Pretty good and sound advice actually...
5. Trailers: The Multi-million dollar Olsen marketing machine was in full force here!!! The twins shill the following from their extensive product line:
a. Their DVD/Video Catalog: including "Holiday in the Sun," "Winning London," "Passport to Paris," and "Our Lips Are Sealed."
b. The "Getting There" soundtrack.
c. Their "Girls Night Out" video game for the Next Gen systems.
d. Their "So Little Time" tv series action dolls.
e. The "Mary-Kate and Ashley in Action" cartoon series on ABC.
f. Their website ... where you can get all the latest information!!!
THE VERDICT:
In all, overselling in the DVD features aside, the movie was decent for a "lazy afternoon" viewing. Olsen fans should love this installment in their ever-growing video franchise series and parents should be pleased with another clean, quality product from America's favorite twins.

Movie Review: Not Perfect, but there cool
Summary: 4 Stars
I enjoyed this movie, as well as there other movies. I have been a fan for a long time and i completel respect the twins. But if you ask me, and i'm sure others have this opinion, i think the girls need to have a movie where things are a little bit more realistic. The girls always look perfect in every movie and tv series, but what about other girls who dont? I think they should make a movie, that will hit theaters, and have a more realistic theme. The girls are great actresses and i think they could make there acting careers bigger if they used there acting skills in movies people can relate to. I owuld love to see them in a movie like The Virgin Suicides or Anywhere But Here, those are real life situations, and i tink the girls would hve a better "grown up" impression if they acted in movies like theseMovie Review: Surprise!

I have admired how Mary-Kate and Ashley have developed into such great actresses. Now, about the movie, Taylor (Mary-Kate) and Kylie (Ashley) Hunter celebrate their sixteenth birthday with a new car, a driver's license and a trip to the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. They travel with some friends of theirs and this is when it gets unrealistic. They get lost about nine times by taking the wrong Greyhound bus, leaving their topless car in the parking lot with the keys in the car, and a lot of other stuff. If I got lost in the middle of the country, my parents would grab me up in no time! Overall, I liked it and it was a little more mature than their previous films. Another thing: How can a sixteen-year-old use their parents' credit card without the parent being around??Movie Review: Sweet 16 and Licensed to Drive
Summary: 4 Stars
Buckle up for the ultimate getaway with Mary-Kate and Ashley!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 out for Olympic-size detours.
This movie is really cute and gives us a glimpse into what Mary-Kate and Ashley can really do! I think this is one of their best movies yet!
