Can Someone Explain This?

Can someone please explain to me the massively overhyped popularity of the Olsen Twins? I honestly don’t get it.
I was reminded of all this when I saw WFAA’s film critic, Gary Cogill, review their new movie this morning. Of course, it seems as if movie critics exist to pan movies, but I’ve agreed with his assessment more often than not. Here’s what he had to say about New York Minute.
New York Minute marks the feature film debut of the popular Olsen twins. It’s also a dreadful, irresponsible mess of a movie that sends all the wrong signals.
And that’s just the opening of the review. I especially liked the sledgehammer bit, which is later on in the review.

well for one thing, some people feel they have grown up woth the twins, who no longer like that term by the way.
They are now copmplete and seperate entities.
I heard that they are each worth over 150 million and their total companies are over 1 billion!
Not bad for child actors.
Now WHY are they popular? I dunno, if it ain’t a music thing I can’t seem to get pop culture.
$150M each? Wha? What have they done to make that already?
I can’t explain it at all. That makes about five hundred recent pop culture trends I don’t “get.”
Cogill did like Mean Girls, and since I was a fan of Election and Heathers, I might see that one day (on DVD).
