How could you forget about this 2004 classic?

The 2000s - a decade defined by tattoo chokers, Avril Lavigne, MSN Messenger and The Olsen Twins on absolutely every TV show.

And now a cinematic piece of Olsen nostalgia is coming to Netflix in January - their last theatre release, New York Minute.

The 2004 American teen comedy follows two very different twin sisters Jane (Ashley) and Roxy Ryan (Mary-Kate), who haven't spent a day together in years - mainly because of their opposing interests.

However, all that changes in a New York Minute (get it?) when they journey together into the city for Jane to deliver a speech to qualify for a prestigious Oxford scholarship, and for Roxy to get backstage at Simple Plan's music video shoot so she can give them her demo tape.

And as you can imagine, everything that could possibly go wrong, goes wrong, in their attempt to change their lives.

Over 24 hours, the sisters end up on a thrilling adventure when they get chased by a truancy officer (Eugene Levy), meet two nice young guys and get accidentally embroiled in a shady black-market transaction.

Directed by Dennie Gordon, the feature reunited the twins with their Full House co-star Bob Saget, who plays their widower father in the flick, and also starred early noughties heartthrobs Jared Padalecki (Supernatural) and Riley Smith (True Blood).

It was their first cinema release since 1995's It Takes Two opposite Kirstie Alley and Steve Guttenberg - but also their last.

Despite their star power at the time, the film made less than £18 million in the global box office, but it cost £23 million to make.

Regardless of the facts and figures, the movie has become a classic for children and teens of the era.

Embracing the new year, Netflix announced it will be adding the feature to their US service from January, 2020.

But if you're a UK fan, don't worry, we're hopeful the film will be added on the platform over here too at some point, but is also currently available on Amazon Prime for free for Prime customers, obvs. But be quick to watch it as it will be leaving Prime next Wednesday - sorry.
