Olsen Twins: Holiday in the Sun [2001] (REGION 1) (NTSC)

Amazon.co.uk Review

In Holiday in the Sun, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen (playing twins Alex and Madison) are whisked away to the Bahamas in a private jet by their pilot dad, though they 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 mum 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), The American Girls, and Noogie. --Kimberly Heinrichs, Amazon.com

this is a cute girly film.
mary-kate and ashely look so pretty!! They go on holiday with friends, meet boys (as usual) and have fun. Simple plot, but good.

A bit boring If you ask me!.......2005-11-08

I love Mary-Kate and Ashley and I thought they acted really well in this movie, however the storylines wern't so good in my opinion. The clothes and music were really cool but the movie was a little too boring and not very exciting. Overall, I wasn't very pleased with this movie and prefer some other titles by the two fabulous twins.

FANTASTIC!.......2005-09-17

I think it was excellent because it showed what it was like in the bahamas. The way they acted was extraodinary and it felt a little bit like you were in the bahamas.The way they picked the clothes was fabulous and especially when they went on the moonlight boat but I think they went a little bit over the top with the kisses!And also the second time they went in jail it scared me a little bit but apart from the kisses and the first and second time they went in jail the movie was really infact so fantastic I'd watch it any time. I am 8 years old

Shhh..........2005-08-11

I'm a bit old for Mary-Kate and Ashley but I do absolutely love them! This film has a decent soundtrack, a bit of romance, rivalry and all set against the gorgeous backdrop of the Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island. I agree that it almost seems like one long advert for the resort, but the story is just about strong enough to detract from that a bit! All in all really enjoyable viewing! And their outfits are great the whole way through!

Amazing.......2005-07-05

I think I'm a bit old for mary-kate and ashley but I secretly read all their book, watch all their DVDs and aspire to be like them. I LOVED this film, I do know it wasnt oscar worthy but I loved it so much. The soundtrack, location and wardrobe are incredible and its so much fun! A must buy!
