Given the popularity of the Olsen twins with young girls, parents are likely to assume that this film is as innocuous as the girls’ childish videos. This would be a mistake.
Jane Ryan (Ashley Olsen) is an honor-roll student with aspirations of attending Oxford University – mostly to get away from her twin sister. Roxy Ryan (Mary-Kate Olsen), on the other hand, skips school on a regular basis and could care less about college. She plays drums in a band and dreams of being a rock star. When she hears that her favorite band is shooting a music video in neighboring New York, she decides to give them her CD. But Truant Office Max Lomax (Eugene Levy) is on her trail, and he’ll do anything to find Roxy. Likewise, she’ll do anything to elude him.
