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.

Reviews
Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!
mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Desertman84 The Olsen Twins - Mary Kate and Ashley are featured in this direct- to- video movie.The story revolves around a twin sisters Kylie and Taylor, who just turned sixteen years of age and go on the road with their friends and without their parents.Their destination is at Salt Lake City at Utah wherein the 2002 Winter Olympics is being held.Later,they find out that they tried to do more than they could handle and gaining independence could be indeed discomforting. Well,this is not a good movie at all.It is clichéd,contrived and predictable.The Olsen Twins could he a lot of torture for some viewers especially adults and non-fans considering that they are far from being funny.The only positive thing here is the location - Salt Lake City - where the Winter Olympics is being held and the message that gaining independence could be challenge indeed as it is about taking responsibility life rather than doing anything that you want without your parents.
venus2113 i like watching the olsen twins, but this movie reaks! the plot is terrible, ans so unreal that it is just plain stupid. i can deal with all their other movies, but this one tanks. Avoid it whenever and wherever possible! i usually like the clothes they wear even if they are age inapporiate(which is always) but this movie didn't have that going for it either. Getting There is one bumbled attempt after another to get to the winter olympics.First of all no parent will allow their newly liscensed 16 year driver to drive into another state, let alone spend 3 days there unsupervised, and you must be 18 to get a hotel room. The olsen twins set unrealistic expectations to todays teens in clothes,and behavior in this movie. plus to screw up as many times as they did trying to get some where is just plain sad and unreal. this movie is as stupid as can be and how it ever got made just flores me.
blonde_ambition Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have been acting since they were nine months old. And you'd think that after over a decade, they might improved over the years, as most actors do. However, they are notorious for their atrocious acting skills, and awful movies. And as Olsen movies go, this one is by far the worst.Getting There is about a girl named Taylor (Ashley Olsen) who wants to go to the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. She could have gone alone, but no, she brings along her twin sister Kylie (Mary-Kate Olsen, after all, since when have the Olsens' done a movie without the other?), and a bunch of friends.Along the way they get into a load of "hilerious" mix ups as every attempt they make to get there fails. So it's basically a movie about these teens trying to find a way of "getting there".The movie is directed by Steve Purcell who, judging by this movie and his other works, must be the worst director in the world. Second to Ed Wood, though at least Ed Wood was actually entertaining.The camera shots are awful, the lighting is terrible, the acting is atrocious, and the plot is wafer thin. The dialogue is supposed to be funny but the ultra-crap catchphrases are cringe worthy. One word that gets really annoying? "Hype" They all say it like it's a really cool word, you watch in and think "OMG, these kids are SAD!" Ashley Olsen, as always, can be caught acting the entire time and must be the worlds most unnatural actress. Mary-Kate Olsen does her trademark complete overact, with an expression for every word and hands going everywhere. Billy Aaron Brown, as one of their friends, is just annoying, and the other cast are also just pretty irritating to watch.The one good thing about this movie? Actress Alexandra Picatto who plays Charley Simms, a girl the twins and their friends meet on their journey. Picatto is the one actress who actually deserves to be doing something better. She's natural in front of the camera, has screen presence, and can act. However, she may only have seemed good in contrast to the rest of the cast.You'll lose the will to live watching this movie. The best advice I can give you is to save yourself and steer clear!
xkait76x Ok so I liked this movie... I realize that its UBER cheesy, and that they acting kind of sucks.. But i dont know.. Its just a feel good movie.. Its not my favorite Olsen Twin Movie (I think Winning London and Holiday in the Sun top that) but I dont know.Everyone has been complaining that its o realistic, which I understand... with the new car, then the plane tickets, 450$ cab fare, bus tickets , staying at the stein erikson... but then again there are MANY MANY movies that arent realistic... I mean come on! Look at any good movie.. they're not always realistic.. Lord of the Rings, the Princess Diaries... any movie really can be unrealistic.. its just suposed to be good fun..
