Férias ao Sol

Okay, I was babysitting and the girls wanted to watch it with me so I did. I really liked Winning London because the plot was awesome and the acting wasn't too shabby. The movie's plot was only okay and it seemed like one giant advertising for Atlantis. However, I have been to the resort and it's really not possible to film a movie there and not advertise it because its just so incredible there. The character of Briana was good, prob just because its cool to see someone actually defying MK&A for once. But she didn't come back in the second half when she should have. I'm guessing that the slow motion shots and the black and white ones were put in as fillers to make the movie longer. The last big problem was the ending. It was way too predictable. So, I would recommend renting Winning London or possibly Our Lips... but this one just wasn't worth it. Positives: What lip gloss do the twins use b/c their lips always look awesome. And major props for putting Weezer's Island in the sun song in the movie, it added a lot. I give this movie a 6 out of ten

As a fan of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen since the age of 6, I knew I had to see this movie sometime soon. I watched it, applauding Mary-Kate and Ashley's maturity yet disappointed by the plot. Yes, Mary-Kate and Ashley are pretty and perky young girls who have captured the hearts of fans over the years, but as actresses, they still have room to grow. The plot of Holiday in the Sun is cute, but it follows the same route Passport to Paris, Our Lips Are Sealed, and Winning London took: they go to a some foreign country, catch up with (and kiss) two cute boys, shop a bit, and solve some mystery. The plot was cute in Passport to Paris, but now that Mary-Kate and Ashley have grown older, the plot must eventually change.

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 was at a birthday party for a friends daughter and she and her little friends insisted on watching this. I have hated the Olsen twins since I was a kid and the little frog-eyed brats were on Full House, so I didn't think this movie would surprise me any. I was right. These girls are so in love with themselves, it's pathetic. You can never forget you're watching a movie because these girls obviously can't forget there's a camera on them. Every word or gesture is so trite and cute you'll be barfing before the first ten minutes is up. Well, anyway, the twins play...twins, on vacation with their idiotic, over-indulgent parents. They meet some guys. Some snotty girl is snotty to them. They look wide-eyed and bat their lashes. They wear clothes that are way too revealing for fifteen-year-old girls. They get caught doing wrong and sweet talk their way out of it. They bore you to death with this crap. You WILL not finish this movie if you're over age 12, because you will be too busy sleeping before it's halfway finished. Just my opinion. Bye.
