Getting There

Getting There 1 star

Ugh, this is excruciating. And I know, it’s billed as being about Mary-Kate and Ashley getting their driver’s license, and driving doesn’t interest me in the slightest, so I should’ve known. Thing is – I wish this movie was more about the car and the road. It’s a road trip with barely any road in it. I swear, this script – if there even was one – must’ve been written in a night and never altered thereafter. It’s just a random series of events, none of which are remotely interesting. The cover art of this one made it look like one of the few, (moderately) slicker Olsen twins movies, like Passport to Paris, Winning London, New York Minute. Instead, it’s almost unwatchable, packed with those desperate silences which can only have been left in to maintain a feature length. Bland doesn’t even cover it. If you make it through, you won’t believe the sigh of relief you release when you realise yay, there are outtakes at the end!!!!
