Editorial Review:
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
Winning London [Region 2] Reviews:
Mary-Kate and Ashley 
2009-11-01 - I've always been a huge fan of Mary-Kate and Ashley since the beginning. Ever since Full House, they've been my favorite. This movie is a nice movie for kids, but its hard to watch these movies now because I'm grown up and so are they. America has seen them grow up. You'll love this movie!!
Drags a bit.... 
2009-09-01 - This movie was a bit slow and there were a lot of useless shots that the director suggested to use in order to showcase London. Don't get me wrong there were a lot of great shots of London as well but there was an excess of footage that didn't need to be there. This made the story drag a bit. In conclusion it fell together well by the end. Well, if you're 11- 15 years old maybe. So far their best movie is Passport To Paris. Holiday In The Sun was terrible but that's probably because the twins directed that film. So I'll recommend this film, only if you're truly bored. :) I love Mary Kate and Ashley though.
The Best Mary-Kate and Ashley Movie Yet! 
2007-01-11 - 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!
good movie 
2006-09-09 - this is a good movie about reaching for your goals and just trying to do your best. but not cheating but using your brain. good movie. buy it.
