Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Desertman84 The Olsen Twins get featured in a film that was shot on location at the Bahamas. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen portray Madison and Alex Stewart respectively.They happen to be twin sisters from Illinois.After being disappointed when they did not go to Hawaii for their winter break,they tried to make it up when they were brought to the Atlantis Paradise Island.They meet cute boys but later realize that they are involved in stealing antiques.They also find their friend Jordan get set up for a crime she did not commit. The twins made some actions to clear her name as she was wrongfully arrested.Despite of these problems that they encounter,they still managed to enjoy their vacation in the Bahamas.The Olsen Twins finally took part in a refreshing screenplay that made them play more mature individuals instead of the usual roles that they portray in their previous movies.Despite of it,there is nothing worthwhile can be said in their performance.Nevertheless,it was better film as compared to what projects they get involved with.
Cherry3451 I remember as a kid waiting all year for a new Mary-Kate and Ashley movie to come out, anticipating where in the world they would go on their next adventure. Back then Mary-Kate and Ashley were like God. I remember watching their movies in awe, wishing my life was exactly like theirs! Last night I watched Holiday in the Sun for the first time in about 5 years, and I can still quote almost every line word for word! Sure the plot is ridiculously unrealistic and you can predict the ending after watching it for 10 minutes, but if you are watching a MK and A movie, you aren't watching it for the gripping plot and surprising twists. So bottom line, no this movie will never win an Oscar or be remembered as one of the best movies of it's time. But if you are a true fan, that actually might be true. It's corny, it's cheesy, it's not going to provoke your thoughts, but if you want a classic Mary-Kate and Ashley movie that you can't walk away from without feeling good, Holiday in the Sun is the perfect choice!
candy_swirlz97 OK so this wasn't a very professional movie-there really wasn't a point to it and there were so many things happening that at the end you sorta wonder what the movie was about-mostly i took it as if it had been a reality type show-the conversations they had were stuff you would hear on your home movies. cute but not movie material-but then again i think this was the first movie the Olsen twins produced and they were only 15 so ill cut them a break. but...i did like it. and ill tell you why. it was cool seeing them do fun stuff that normal people don't get to do-limo, private jet, Bahamas, shopping sprees,etc. and they're so adorable! the Olsen twins are so cute! and i love the close ups of their faces. they're eye candy! also i respected the character their dad played in the movie-i wish he was my dad! he didn't get mad easily-he was very smart. and last but not least there was a ravishing beauty in this movie. she played Brianna Wallace (the snobby rich girl)her real name is Megan fox. she is so beautiful. it was nice just to be able to see her face on TV. when you see her you wonder if its even legal to look that good-I'm sure shes made a lot of women jealous because of her looks. her role in the movie wasn't that big but then again this was her debut in acting. anyway, shes so gorgeous it makes the movie worthwhile. i don't care if she played the snobby rich girl-i know its just a movie. and besides someone that beautiful probably could be entitled to be conceited but i like them more when they're nice.i know the ending was weird and dumb etc. etc. but ill tell you something-this movie has a lot of eye candy. if anything you'll be entertained with the Catie's in this movie and the nice stuff they get to have and be part of. plus I'm always a fan of Mary-Kate and Ashley's style. if you're a girlie-girl you'll like this movie. who cares if its kinda dumb and doesn't make sense-its Mary-Kate and Ashley!
ateenangel This movie isn't as bad as some people have been saying, I mean at least it had a plot. Ya, some of it was pretty hokey, but it was a still a good film. It was designed for younger kids so I would have to say that tweens (or Mary-Kate and Ashley fans) probably loved it. They could do without the boy crazy part. Not every girl acts quite as loony. But then again, I'd rather watch that then a bunch of teens smoking and doing drugs (though that can get interesting).While Mary Kate and Ashley and the rest of the cast did fairly well the movie was brought down by the horrible writing. You can only say, 'Hurry up' and 'He's over there' so many times before people begin to wish their ears would just fall off.
