 Today
is the biggest day in the super-organized life of uptight overachiever
Jane Ryan (ASHLEY OLSEN). She's due to give a major speech at Columbia
University for a competition to win a prestigious scholarship to
Oxford University. Meanwhile, her rebellious sister Roxy (MARY-KATE
OLSEN) is planning to ditch school and go backstage at a Simple
Plan music video shoot in Manhattan, where she'll slip her demo
tape to the band's A & R team.

 But
first, they'll have to get past Max Lomax, Nassau County's
most fiercely dedicated truant officer. The ever-elusive Roxy
is number one on this wannabe cop's Most Wanted list, and
her upstanding sister is nothing but an accomplice in his
highly-trained eyes. "Lomax has a tragic history of trying
to get onboard the New York City police department and never
being able to, so he got into the truancy business," says
Eugene Levy, star of the blockbuster American Pie trilogy
and the improvisational satires A Mighty Wind, Best In Show
and Waiting for Guffman.

Despite having so little in common and so much emotional distance
between them, the adversarial sisters reluctantly journey together
to the Big Apple, but their plans go wildly awry when a mix-up involving
Jane's all-important dayplanner lands them in the middle of a shady
black market music piracy scheme.
 Sidetracked,
sideswiped and hotly pursued from Chinatown to Harlem by whacked-out
truancy officer (EUGENE LEVY) and a wannabe gangster (ANDY RICHTER),
Jane and Roxy reluctantly join forces and find unexpected romance
with a charming Senator's son (JARED PADALECKI) and a handsome bike
messenger (RILEY SMITH). If Jane doesn't recover her dayplanner
-- and the crucial speech inside it -- she can kiss her college
scholarship goodbye. If Lomax finally catches up with Roxy, she'll
be drummed out of high school for good.
Roxy and Jane seem to have everything going against them... but
anything can change in a New York Minute!
