Summary: Not their best
Review: As an adult fan of the Olsen twins, I buy their movies unseen. This one is an unfortunate story-less tale. Camera work is horrible, with B&W shots thrown in without meaning, and other strange ideas that don't help. The girls are cute as usual, but there is no plot. A feeble attempt at a subplot comes late in the film and is worthless. The main theme is to dress for the beach and go for the requisite teenage boys. An attempt to make one of the matches seem like the serious love-of-her-life is lame; where is the good old have-fun summer fling between young people? The elements typically thrown into the Olsens' movies - clothes, beachside recreation, shopping - are all uninteresting. Let's eliminate these feeble, flimsy films, girls!

Summary: Another movie..
Review: I just finished watching this new video by the girls, and it was SOMEWHAT enjoyable. I reccommend this video for all ages about 12-17. The storyline has changed from their previous movies making it a little more for older audiences, however, they're not little Michelle anymore.My only complaint with this film is that the camera effects just did not cut it. The camera gets way too close to the subject and shakes too much, making the viewers almost sick sitting for 90 minutes watching the video. I am not sure if they think it's "cool," but it sure makes it hard to keep your eyes focused. Overall, a great movie.

Summary: Pathetic!!
Review: Its better than some of their movies. This is more for teens but is not that good. I thought it was kind of boring. They play Alex and Madison and they take a family vacation to the Bahamas. Although Alex and Madison are dissapointed because they would rather take a vacation with their friends, and not another boring family vacation. Its to much like their older movies that they did in the past. Do something DIFFERENT! They meet cute boys and become friends just like in Our Lips Are Sealed and Winning London.

Summary: The Twins hit the beach
Review: (...) This film is targeted to the tweens crowd, and if you don't like it, it means you are too old to enjoy it.Full of sun and fun and the worlds cutest girls, if you expect Hepburn and Tracy you will be dissapointed,the film is light and upbeat even in the scary parts and thier acting has developed although, you may not notice because they've always played themselves. Yes, shameless product placement abounds but if they flipped the bill for my production I would advertise for them! it's the American way.
If you can pretend you're 14 again or you are or a MKA fan you will enjoy this movie as much as any of the other MKA flicks.

Summary: A great way for the Olsen twins to get rid of some fans!
Review: After great master pieces of Winning London and Our lips are sealed, Mary-Kate and Ashley finally managed to make Passport to Paris no longer my least favorite Olsen movie. Some professional reviewers claimed that Holiday in the sun is a commercial for the Atlantis hotel... they are so 100% right! The DVD even starts with a commercial for Atlantis! Even before the Warner Bros logo pops up! How low can you go? I thought commercials were always a taboo for movie actors... either I am wrong with that thought, or the twins really need to do some major changes.
There is absolutely nothing interesting in the plot and events, for so far any are happening, are short and shockey. The camera effects make it look as if the whole movie was just ripped of MTV. The whole movie is entirely inconsistent.
Their dad for example is so young, that he can never be their dad, unless their mom did something very illegal. Keeping in that line, the guys Mary-Kate and Ashley date in the movie are also quite old for them.
The end of the movie was highly ironical. It gave a sort of behind the scenes look. All actors dropped out of character and the director and such came on screen. It wasn't really the movie for it though. If they did it in Our lips are sealed, it would have been fun, as in that movie the characters "know" that they are "in a movie". In Holiday in the sun, it was just so out of place.
The ironic part is that the twins kinda confirm everything what they should improve. I hope they do so because they finally realize that they are going the wrong way.
First of all there is the actress who plays mom. She calls her agent upset, claiming that the movie is just 100% Mary-Kate and Ashley, and that upsets here. Well, she isn't the only one, as this movie has just an enormous "Look at me, I'm a Mary-Kate and Ashley movie"-factor.
Then there is Mary-Kate and Ashley, who are also producers of the movie. They joke on firing the director... not a bad idea girls. Perhaps firing the entire crew wouldn't be such a bad idea.
The ending is the worst part though. The twins throw a dart at the world map for the location of their next movie. On the moment they did that, I lost a lot of faith in their credibility. What's wrong with a movie in the USA? Not that I mind those distant movies, but it makes just seem that they are only making movies because they like to travel. With their cash they can just go any where they like. Why should their holidays be supported by their fans? That is just what Holiday in the sun actually is, a holiday in the sun. And just as with Passport to Paris, they want to make money out of their movie.
They also marked the places of the movies they made before. London, Paris, Sydney, the Bahamas so girls, you forgot the North American locations? Venice (Billboard Dad), New York city (It takes two), Toronto (Switching goals)? And how about the Olsen movies when they were still made for quality instead of money? Like How the west was fun and To grandmother's house we go?
I just recommend that fans of the twins who want to stay fans do not watch this movie. Their "fan-factor" will plummet down massively, mine did. The twins seemed to have committed show-bizz suicide with the release of the movie.

Summary: MK&A Holiday in the Sun
Review: I rented this movie for my 5 and 8 year old daughters and thought it a bit "old" for them, but they still enjoyed the Olsen twins, being who they are. Mary-Kate and Ashley have grown up so I think we'll have to stick to their older films, but this is a good one for the 10 and up crowd. I did like the song "Us Against the World" by Play and bought the single CD for my girls. Play consists of three 13-year olds and one 12 year-old from Sweden, and they sound great. I enjoy that CD better than anything else from the movie. I found the movie alright but the place where it was filmed was "AWESOME"! I plan an taking my family there someday...
