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).
