Getting There (2002)
Another good Olsen twins movie
"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.
