Plot
New York Minute follows 17 year old identical twin sisters Roxanne "Roxy" Ryan and Jane Ryan over the course of one day spent in New York. Uptight Jane (Ashley Olsen) has a speech scheduled, while less conventional Roxy (Mary-Kate Olsen) hopes to get backstage at a video shoot and give her demo tape to Simple Plan, her favorite band. Jane and Roxy's plans go wrong when a mix-up lands them in the middle of a black market music piracy scheme. The girls are chased from Chinatown to Times Square to Harlem by assassins, politicians and a truancy officer (Eugene Levy). Romantic interest comes in the form of a Senator's son (Jared Padalecki) and a bike messenger (Riley Smith).

Famous quotes containing the word plot:
“There comes a time in every man’s education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better for worse as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given him to till.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The plot was most interesting. It belonged to no particular age, people, or country, and was perhaps the more delightful on that account, as nobody’s previous information could afford the remotest glimmering of what would ever come of it.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
“If you need a certain vitality you can only supply it yourself, or there comes a point, anyway, when no one’s actions but your own seem dramatically convincing and justifiable in the plot that the number of your days concocts.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
