Reception
New York Minute was neither a box office success nor a critical success. Roger Ebert & Richard Roeper gave the film a "two thumbs down" on the television show Ebert & Roeper. Aggregate movie review web site Rotten Tomatoes listed a critic score of 11% for the film, the consensus stating, Feels more like a calculated product designed to expand the Olsens' brand than an actual movie. Also, it contains ethnic stereotyping and sexual innuendo.
The film was nominated for two Razzie Awards: Worst Actress and Worst Screen Couple for the Olsen twins.
Despite the negative reception, some reviews were positive and the film was nominated for a Teen Choice Award for Choice Blush Scene.
