Sadly Over-hyped

... View Morespeaking as an Olsen fan, i was amazed to find this film was not up to much, i actually thought it would be quite good, considering the Olsen twin's other films and projects. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen deliver us a cheesy, dull film. the storyline dose not even be strong, funny or even exciting, the only people who will like this film is probably people who just like to see the Olsen twins on the TV, i speak as a fan, their other TV projects are actually quite entertaining and fun. in conclusion i found that "The Challenge" was a challenge in itself you you do not wont to fall asleep or be extremely bored. As for Mary-Kate and Ashley- maybe next time
... View MoreHave anyone seen The Even Stevens Movie? I think in a way, it's a lot alike. 'The Challenge' reminded me of that movie anyway. I've seen it and I guess it is pretty cool, a big change to the usual Mk and A movies. The movie, felt like it ended to quickly. It seemed like 'The Challenge' the show Mk and A was on, the events happened a little too quickly and something was missing. But... FINALLY a plot that isn't like all their other movies. It was cool seeing Mk and A in a movie where their not 'great' sisters, and having a sister is all glitz and glam. Every movie, there's always a boy, for each of them. Why not both of them wrestling over the same one? I think that's more entertaining to watch. And why is the boy always coming to them. Why not they go to the boys? Somehow the change might help make the movie more interesting and not so plain and simple. But I got to say I liked the movie. I would say... you SHOULD watch it.
... View MoreThis movie is amazing! As always, there are love interests and jet skis, but there's something really different about this one. It actually has substance and a plot! The very end really made it for me. This surprise ending was truly inspired, the best these twins have done yet! Keep it up girls!
... View MoreShane and Lizzie are sisters whose parents divorced. Shane went with her mother to California, and she cares about nature, she refuses to eat meat, and she practices yoga. Lizzie stayed with her father in the Washington, D.C., area, and she is intelligent, politically involved, driven to succeed, and carries a cell phone everywhere. Both girls want to change the world, in their own way.Shane and the others wonder why there are only seven contestants when eight is normal. It seems Lizzie is late (unusual for her, actually), and when she finally does show up, Shane is not happy. Both girls come close to quitting.The show is part 'Survivor' and part 'Fear Factor'. The eight young people are divided into two teams. Since the show is being filmed in Mexico, the teams are the Aztecs and the Mayans. Both sisters end up on the Mayan team. As is often true in Disney movies, the ones you don't want to win get ahead in the competition, and you begin to wonder about the team you support, who are subjected to humiliation whenever they fail. But both Shane and Lizzie contribute unique abilities to their team, so there is a chance.Though I have seen only clips of reality shows, I thought the 'Challenge' program seemed very realistic in its presentation, as if I was watching that show rather than a movie about it. The acting performances were stereotypical for the most part. But I especially enjoyed the conceited swimmer on the Aztec team. And I can't help but like those Olsen twins. At times, especially in the blooper reel at the end and in the interviews that appeared on the 'Challenge' program, they seemed more sophisticated than the cute little girls we have come to know. But they have yet to shake that adorable image.It wasn't a great movie, and not a classic by any means, but it was Disney-style fun.
