Winning London (2001)

Why is it that, in such a cynical age, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen aren't more wary of a backlash against adorableness? Just when pop culture's more cantankerous hounds were harboring hopes that the preeminent pair of sugar-and-spice girls would grow into a couple of gawky teenagers, they've proved themselves more lovable than ever with Winning London. Here, they're tasked with delivering semimature subject matter--straightening out stalled romances, stifling an overactive competitive streak--but they come off as self-assured as ever. The scene is set across the pond, where Chloe and Riley (Mary-Kate and Ashley), along with other members of their high school's Model U.N. team, are strutting their strategic mock peace-bringing stuff at an international competition. While Chloe captures the heart of an upper-crust English boy, Riley sets her sights on teammate Brian, who's clueless enough to call her kiddo. After a breakdown in her budding romance, Chloe, who's accustomed to winning, learns to chill out and consider the more sporting side of competitions. This being a Mary-Kate and Ashley vehicle, shopping for schoolgirl-swanky ensembles is involved, as is boogying with the boys at hot nightspots. Sightseeing excursions to Westminster Abbey and Buckingham Palace, among other places, feel thrown in as educational tidbits for parents' sake; better to buy this video purely for fun--Mary-Kate and Ashley may not be known as the brainiest pair, but London aside, with this movie they'll continue to win hearts. --Tammy La Gorce Amazon.com

The Best Mary-Kate and Ashley Movie Yet!

This isn't Shakespeare, but it's a very fun video. The guys in this one are the best looking of any video Mary-Kate and Ashley have had so far. The plot is predictable, but it has- as with all Olsen twins movies- a happy ending, and will leave you with a happy feeling.

My roomate and I fell in love with it when it first came out, and we're still watching it many years later! January 11, 2007

Winning London

I don't know how that movie even got to my house, I'm pretty sure my parents rented it. Since it was already in my house I decided to watch it. It's an okay movie. Mary-Kate and Ashley are cute as always. And of course they have pretty good boyfriends also. It's a great movie to watch with bunch of friends, girlfriends.
