New is a 2004 comedy film starring Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen as twins, Chloe and Riley Lawrence. The movie revolves around Chloe and Riley, who have just graduated from high school and are now headed to New York for a summer internship at a prestigious magazine. However, things take a turn when they end up living in a crummy apartment and working as assistants for the tyrannical editor-in-chief, Fiona. As they struggle to adapt to city life, the sisters also have to navigate love and relationships.

The film opens with the twins graduating from high school, and their father gifting them a trip to New York City as a graduation present. Upon arriving, they realize their accommodation is not what they had expected. They struggle to deal with the tiny and shabby apartment they are staying in, but are determined to make the most of their internship. They quickly learn that their boss Fiona is cruel and demanding, making it difficult to please her. Despite the tough circumstances, Chloe and Riley are determined to do their best and show Fiona they can handle anything thrown their way.

As the twins work on various assignments, they are introduced to several characters. One of them is Jim, a cute musician who works at a local coffee shop. Chloe takes an interest in him, but is hesitant to pursue a relationship due to a past heartbreak. Meanwhile, Riley finds herself drawn to Ed, another assistant like herself, who seems to share her quirky interests. However, Fiona disapproves of any romantic relationships in the workplace, making things even more complicated for the twins.

Throughout the movie, Chloe and Riley struggle to balance work, love, and their personal lives. They also learn more about New York and themselves, as they navigate the ups and downs of life in the big city. With every challenge that comes their way, they persevere, ultimately proving to themselves and their boss that they are more than capable of succeeding in their internship.

New is a heartwarming comedy that showcases the enduring bond between sisters. It also provides a refreshing depiction of the challenges of work life, highlighting the difficulties of entry-level jobs in the media industry. The film explores themes such as family, identity, and the importance of following your dreams. The Olsen twins deliver solid performances, bringing their endearing and relatable characters to life. Eugene Levy, who plays Fiona's boss, also adds a spark to the movie with his comically quirky personality.

Overall, New is an enjoyable film that will leave viewers with a sense of nostalgia for the early 2000s. With its upbeat soundtrack and charming protagonist, the movie provides a fun escape from reality for an hour and a half. Whether you're a fan of the Olsen twins, coming-of-age comedies, or just looking for a feel-good flick, New is definitely worth a watch.
