Getting There (2002 Video)
2/10
Too predictable, too slow and too contrived- this embarrassing film is easily Mary Kate and Ashley's worst!
14 July 2009
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.
