Editorial Review:
Mary-Kate and Ashley are spending Winter Break in the Bahamas. Their parents bring them along, but that means they have to miss their school trip to Hawaii with their best friends. Determined to make the best of the situation, the girls decide there's only one thing to do: unleash a tropical hurricane of off-the-hook action and head-over-heels romance!
Description of Holiday in the Sun:
Whisked away to the Bahamas in a private jet by their pilot dad, Mary- Kate and Ashley Olsen (playing twins Alex and Madison) are initially disappointed to be missing their class trip to Hawaii. (Just what high school do these girls attend?) But the 15-year-olds recover upon meeting up with their mom on the sunny tarmac, checking into their own suite at the Atlantis resort, and getting acquainted with some cute boys on the island. Parents may see this 88- minute movie as one long advertisement for the Paradise Island resort, with the constant mentioning of its name and endless showcasing of its attractions. But kids, particularly girls ages 7 to 12, will get a kick out of Alex's rivalry with the rich superwitch Brianna for marine worker Jordan's affections. Then there's the updated Cyrano storyline with Dad's business partner's son Griffen coaching dim-but-likable Scott on how to win over Madison. Throw in an antiquities smuggling subplot, some dolphin hugging, horseback riding, and wave running and you've got some fairly innocent entertainment augmented with frothy tunes by teen group up-and-comers Play, Empty Trash (featuring vocals by the twins), Tte American Girls, and Noogie. --Kimberly Heinrichs
Holiday in the Sun Reviews:
Holiday in the Sun 
2009-11-01 - This movie has been my favorite Mary-Kate and Ashley movies of all time. Ever since I was little, I used to play this movie all the time. Its hard to enjoy this movie like I used to because I'm grown up and so are they. To this day, I still own every Mary-Kate and Ashley movie!!
the worst MK & A movie 
2009-01-14 - I'm a male in his 20s who used to watch Olsen Twins movies back in the day because I had a huge crush on them. I nonetheless tried to observe some semblance of plot and direction none of which this movie has got going for it.
Unless your a teenage girl or a guy who loves looking at the Olsen twins, you will not be able to tolerate this movie. I thought this movie was so terrible back in the day, I had to share my disgust about it years later.
First of all, there is nothing redeeming about it in 2009 other than the fact that is features European girl group Play, and Megan Fox (Transformers). Even when it came out it was ridiculous for the Olsen twins. There is no plot within the first hour of the movie. ZERO plot. What eventually turns into a movie is a very poor unimaginable story about one of their friends being involved in a some kind of illegal scheme. It's that first hour of the movie that is God-awful terrible. What you can expect in that first hour is random nonsense, the girls shopping, goofing around in a pool, whining and complaining about not getting what they want, and generally doing little too redeem Upper-class American teenager girls.
Do not, I reiterate, DO NOT waste your money purchasing this movie or waste valuable brain cells seeing it no matter who you are.
Holiday in the Sun....sooo much Fun!
2007-09-19 - This by-far my favorite Mary-Kate and Ashley movie! The others were pretty good but I just can't get this one out of my head. The girls go the the Bahamas and there is adventure, romance, and just plain fun. Every since I've watched this I have wanted to go visit The Atlantis. The movie starts out with 2 girls and their parents doing vacation at the Bahamas. Of course they are heart broken because all their other friends got to go to Hawaii. They meet with the family friends and the adventure begins. The scrawny young friend they used to have is now a VERY cute, not so scrawny young man. There is also an employee at the resort that turns a couple of heads himself. They catch crooks, swim with dolphins, shop in some cool locations, and fall for the best guys, lol. Anyone that likes M-K and A movies will definitely love it. You won't be able to resist.
Holiday in the Sun!
2007-09-08 - Mary-Kate and Ashley are spending Winter Break at the lavish Atlantis, Paradise Island resort in The Bahamas. Their parents bring them along, but that means they have to miss their school trip to Hawaii with all their friends.
Determined to make the best of the situation, the girls decide there's only one thing to do: unleash a tropical hurricane of off-the-hock action and head-over-heals tropical romance.
But, amid the yachts, private jets, waverunners, scuba diving, motor scooters, horseback riding and moonlit strolls, Mary-Kate and Ashley stumble across an antiquities smuggling ring! Mary-Kate and Ashley discover the time of their lives on their...
Holiday in the Sun!
Yet another B-movie.
2006-06-29 - Along with Our Lips Are Sealed, Passport to Paris, and that one movie that took place in Italy, the Olsen twins have made another crappy film.
Between desperate Griffin trying to help clueless Scott get Madison to think he's "smart" and Jordan being Mr. Cool over Alex...what's the difference between Madison and Alex??? This movie truly stinks.
It's all MK and Ash having fluffy fun at an island resort, and then saving the US from Champlain.
Give this movie to an 8-year-old girl for Christmas...they'll love it.
