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.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

I am really sorry guys, I really didn't like this movie. Like all the other Mary Kate and Ashley movies, though I do like two or three of them, Getting There suffers from being too predictable, and somehow it didn't feel like a movie. The camera-work was terrible, it was too fast and even blurry at times, the first two minutes especially. The script was clichéd and overly-simplistic, and it was also rather unfunny, apart from one or two bright spots with Toast. The story was too predictable, and has been done better many times. The pace of this film was also uneven. The earlier scenes felt rushed and the later scenes dragged so badly. The soundtrack was okay, whilst I liked the one at the beginning, some of the other song choices were poor. I didn't like the acting very much either, the boys especially were annoying, and the film felt as though the director, who didn't do his job very well says I, was just portraying a routine, every-day life scenario, which I have already said, has been done before better. The two redeeming qualities were some great-looking scenery, and the spirited performances of Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen. Other than that, Getting There failed as a good film, and came across as predictable and contrived above all else. If you want an above average feel good film, watch Clueless instead. 2/10 Bethany Cox.

"Getting There" is an enjoyable teen road trip movie--another in the Olsen twins' successful direct-to-video series. While this film was not one of my very favorite Olsen twin movies (I'd say "Winning London," "Our Lips are Sealed," and "Passport to Paris" are among my faves of the direct-to-videos) it was still an excellent movie. I enjoyed the misadventures the Olsens' characters and their friends in the movie had on their journey from L.A. to Utah for the Winter Olympics--while unlikely that in real life they'd experience all their various mishaps on the same trip (missed flights, stolen cars, etc.), the mishaps did really feel like things that would happen in real life. That was what impressed me with this movie and also with "Winning London"--the characters and their adventures felt so real. I mean, these teens acted like the group I had been around in youth and what I would see when I was around my cousins and their friends--other so-called "teen movies" don't have that same feel. When watching the movie, I really felt like I was along for the trip, and I loved that. All in all, I highly recommend this movie if you want an enjoyable and clean teen flick.

TOAST = Comedic Gold.Despite the admittedly hideous acting on part of pretty much everyone cast, this movie has introduced Toast into my life. Toast is not only a hungry adolescent but a way of life.I have seen pretty much every Mary-Kate and Ashley straight to video dealeos because it is a guilty pleasure of mine. I think if you are expecting something moving or inventive you will be disappointed. But for a lighthearted filler when you are bored for an hour and half while doing laundry, this movie suffices.The movie plot is pretty lame but i can't get enough toast. I could go on, but seriously. Toast. It's become a thing with friends of mine, before we act we think "what would toast do?".who is this guy??? He deserves a friggin Oscar for being so retarded! xo

I really want to comment on previous comments. The comments that says that this movie is so very bad and that it is the worst they ever seen. They also says that the "Olsens" can't act at all and that they are the worst actresses in the entire world. For the first i actually can't understand how people can think so about the "twins" and for the second, if you think that then you really have to hate the "twins" and i really mean HATE! But people are different and all don't thinks the same so i can sometimes understand them that they think so but they then have to hate them as i said before. Because if you like them then you can't hate any of their movies. They are so cute and nice and act very well. Personally i think that the "twins" are very good at acting and doing their own movies because they usually not only plays in their movies they also are the producers and works a lot behind the camera and have a bog part in the making of their movies. They have their own opinions of what they think are good and bad in the script and if they don't something is correct or appropriate they usually change it in the script. So they make a lot of big decisions to make the movie to get even better and more fashion-forward because they always knows what's popular. So after all you can really say that most of their movies are their "own" movies. And this movie was no exception. A lot of the clothes and stuff they are wearing in the movie they have decide themselves. And that is real fashion. It's one special thing in this movie and that is that they are finally licensed to drive. That make the movie different from the other they have done because they can go to other places a long way from home without their parents and only enjoy the time with their friends and of course boys.They can feel a kind of liberty. And on top of all this they get their own car and they decides to drive to Salt Lake City where the Olympic games are at the time. And that become a real adventure for them and their friends, both problems and funny things happens almost all the time. A road trip that take a long time to forget about. A memory for life! These things make this movie so great and worth to see. A little bit different movie with the "twins" and that is rather exciting. Si finally i can recommend you to watch this and don't listen to the persons who thinks that this is the worst movie ever made on earth! They don't know what they are talking about and aren't "real" "Olsens" fan. But you don't need to be a fan to enjoy this movie because it is for all different kind of people. So hope you will enjoy as much as me! Have a great time in front of the TV!
