Holiday in the Sun

I thought this movie was pretty bad as a whole. It just didn't have a plot and the girls acted like total snobs. You'd think they'd be a little more realistic being real teens! They only wore one outfit twice, and they looked like models straight off the runway at the very beginning during the school scene. People would get made fun of if they really wore that stuff to school! They just acted so shallow, and the only way it would have been entertaining is if the point of the movie was that they were supposed to be snobs and exaggerating it too much. I used to enjoy their movies and shows, but this one just had no plot whatsoever. Also, it was kind of strange how the parents never punished the kids for anything they did! Since So Little Time started, the twins have just lost touch with reality.

OK, stop me if you've heard this one: two annoyingly superficial prepubescent blonde twins go to a foreign country. There they meet two boys their same age (who are equally cute) and hook up. During all their foreign-adventures (like tasting the food, going wind-surfing, etc) a lame-ass subplot is forming, so at the very end of the movie it completely botches up what little plot had been built upon before.

Oh, wait... That sounds like every Olsen twins movie EVER. "Holiday in the Sun" doesn't disappoint us; it follows the exact same guidelines.

The Olsen twins' goal in life seems to be insulting teenagers everywhere. I have never met anyone that shallow in my life, and I find it terribly offensive to allude that we're like that in any way.

I'd like to tell the Olsen twins that 1) boys are not everything, and (this might be a surprise to you) a vacation CAN be complete without meeting any, 2) We do not wear what you wear, and we honestly don't care that you can afford it, and 3) if you want to make a movie, the first thing you need is some semblance to a plot. Meeting cute guys while some people are stealing antiques is not a plot. Meeting cute guys while some jewel thiefs linger around is also not a plot. Meeting cute guys while staying in a foreign country is not, and will never be under any circumstance, a plot.

"Holiday in the Sun" makes me sad, because it means that the Olsen twins are shoving crap that they say is an "accurate portayal of teenage life" into the public eye. Thus, adults treat teenagers as the stupid, vapid people the OLSEN TWINS are, and not every other person in America.

If you like this movie, then you are either freakishly bored or you are as shallow as they are.

I wonder why ABC Family continues to rerun everything they've done?

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!

I was really disappointed with this movie. I usually really like mary-kate and ashley movies. They're not always very beliveable and they can be a little cheesy at times but they're always really enjoyable and a lot of fun. It wasn't so much the writing that bugged me, though the story did seem to go by without a lot of explaing or detail. It was the filming. This movie had to have the worst filming I've EVER seen. The shots were so weird sometimes and there was A LOT of close ups. One of the things that bugged me was that half of the film felt like you were watching a home movie that was taped by a five year old. Sometimes it looks like a movie and others it looks like it was filmed on a home video camera and the shots aren't very steady. I also thought that the way they ended it was weird.

As a film, Holiday in the Sun was not very good. There were holes in the plot (where was Brianna Wallace in the second half of the movie?!) and the character developments were pretty awful. But, I love the Olsen twins and the extremely attractive guys they manage to dig up out of Hollywood, so I would watch this movie multiple times. If you're a fan of Mary-Kate and Ashley, you'd probably like this movie. If you're looking for a decent film with substance, search elsewhere.
