New York Minute (2004) Synopsis

Over a 24-hour period, 17-year-old sisters/adversaries Jane and Roxy Ryan begrudgingly journey together from their Long Island home to New York City, where overachiever Jane must deliver a speech to qualify for a prestigious college scholarship abroad. Meanwhile, laid-back punk-rock rebel Roxy hopes to get backstage at an underground music-video shoot for punk-pop band Simple Plan, so she can slip them her demo tape. But both girls' plans go awry when a mix-up involving Jane's day-planner lands them in the middle of a shady black-market transaction. Pursued by an overzealous truant officer and accused of kidnapping a dog belonging to a senator, the Ryans must find a way to work together to thwart the forces threatening to jeopardize Jane's college dreams and ship Roxy off to a convent school.—douglas
