Good concept, poorly executed.

This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

needs to shut their negative mouths up...this movie runs circles around crap now a days that are that of drugs, alcohol, sex, pregnancy, etc.At least this movie has a little innocence and fun to it.Also, this goes to the United Kingdom broad who said "omg all they do is sit in skimpy bikinis on the beach and sip smoothies...", they are in the Bahamas dips**t! Sorry your life is so miserable that you are offended by such behavior. My advice? Try and get out more, thanks ;)I love the Olsens, they are adorable and great actresses that light up the screen every time and this film is a display of teens being teens (rich teens, yes, so again, if you are jealous like Miss Prissy UK, you won't like it unless you have $$ too).

Okay..i have plenty words to describe this movie.. but for the best, the list is not going to be that long. So much i want to protest this movie, how much i highly don't want to recommend this movie to young girls, its up to every young girl if they want to believe this story or not.First of all, this story is about two young girls in a "blossoming age, 15 years old" planning their travel plans to Hawaii because its where they friends are. Then their father telling instead they go to Bahamas in their private jet, because of the good work they did in school(which is a true thing to in teenage life, i agree with that point). But when they go to Bahamas, they suddenly got picked by a white limousine(Okay, when you are looking for an exotic place to go and relax, a limousine would be the answer? okay i agree with that point if its got an air condition). Then they booked in to the most first class hotel, then got their own suite and showing their expensive clothes, walking like they just entered the red carpet in the lobby. Brianna(Megan fox), a snotty rich girl came in front of these two queens of the palace. Its like "Oh no, a sexy "matured" rich woman is taking over our palace, she stands in the way of us, the most beautiful and smartest teenager in the world. and the next thing, the beach is ready for these smart princesses. They take a bath in the sun and comments every guy that doesn't even notice them and they're "Looks like he is ready for marriage". A parachuter notice them, he runs to them giving party-invitations( Well in reality we all know what these guys really are after, advantaging and abuse) And these teens are like "very impressive". Every guy that runs up to them, just for a talk have to threat them like queens, its their guys no matter how many they might be, they are not allowed to treat us bad, because we are so gorgeous and are sickeningly rich. Okay the whole story and these irritating expectations for a young girl just sickens me. It doesn't compare to the reality of a teenager, "Rich, smart and gorgeous". Please read about the slum in Kambodsja, Sierra Leone and Phillipines. Young girls are close to the edge of loosing all the good things, a good family, a house and food. their biggest task is to earn money like heading to prostitution to even get a tiniest thing. If there's a really great movie that a young girl are interest to be inspired of, it is "Thirteen" and "13 going 30". These two movies are perfect examples showing that having everything "hot guys, expensive clothes and a wild high title - ambitions isn't as great as it seems to be. please see these two great movies compared with "Holiday in the Sun". And you see enormous differences between these story's.

I read this story as about kids facing the mid teens hurdles, but the trouble shown so painfully that it gets in the way of the story, for me. This is an MK&A that I would prefer a personalised edited copy of, bits are that painful. It starts really cringe-y in a school in Illinois and is still cringe-y as they get to the airport to fly to an island, not the island that they hoped to go to. Then it improves a lot, though Bahamas is considered Caribbean rather than Atlantic or Sargasso. There is a detective story added to it, a fairly standard plot element in stories for girls, but I find that actually detracts. In their 2002 feature When In Rome they also had that plot element and I can only really like the feature when interpreted from the view of the alternative ending. That scuttles the stereotypes that had been building up. Holiday has the twins facing Champlaine, a successful Caribbean individualist as regards State law versus the individual. They side with the police for what to me are the wrong reasons, very Famous Five. So far, the kid detective one of theirs that I can like as-is is Grandmother (1992), Double, Double of 1993 has lots that is even better, just it ends with the baddie being thrown into everlasting hell. So, Lips has a certain fascination, … . Bad girl Brianna, Megan Fox in her first screen role. Way too scary for me. Yet in Confessions Of A … she plays bad girl Carla with a bad girl style that is entertaining rather than killing her bits of the story dead. Scary Movie. I mess up by considering the twins' features from year 1999, Switching Goals, as a fuller story about kids facing the teen hurdles. Add the problem series So Little Time and it gets scarier. If the polo scene of Pretty Woman (1990) links with this then it is horror of horrors. Actors really do not get paid enough. Such as M-K&A really need healthier helps for facing the teens hurdle on two feet and more fully okay. Holiday shows them getting experience of sending law breakers to the icebox. More, are the script and production values of lower quality than with their previous features? The ending is a lot about responsibility being heaped on the twins. Advertising says that It Is What You Watch. Being a teen can be not fun. Further, the DVD soundtrack is mostly different to the associated soundtrack CD. It is okay and includes two songs sung 'live'. I would have preferred the twins to be singing too, they are on the CD. * Just prior, Winning London. I find this wobbly. At first it felt brilliant but I overdid the number of times that I re-watched it. After this there is So Little Time TV series then Getting There (2002) then When in Rome (2002/I) then The Challenge (2003) then New York Minute (2004/I). I find the TV series to be disaster just because of the technical style, loud canned laughter as an added extra, without the can it would be nice. Getting There as a mix of very okay and just a bit wrong. When In Rome capable of being experienced as mostly very okay, but that needing work. The Challenge completes the travel series and does so in style. One of the very best M-K&A features followed by a short reprise of the twins' loves and themselves during these. A quality achievement just before the big crash? Our Lips Are Sealed is quality too. The parties, ditto. New York Minute (2004). First viewing, before knowing any other of their stuff, to me it felt empty. Except now that I have seen most of their works it is suddenly really okay, gripping right from the start and with a feature film quality that gives it something that the other works lack, though It Takes Two is maybe also available in a wide screen version, if at a higher than MyPrice price. The pattern that I noticed about teenage hurdles, to me it is there but now reading differently because I experience New York Minute so differently. How to interpret this? I am now getting to know Full House, season 1 having inspired acting and direction for them at age one. Full House, all seasons, might just be essential viewing for MK&A addicts and those who try to ponder deeper meanings in their screen life. Holiday in the Sun does include some quality music on the soundtrack, though. Even better than with The Challenge. * New York Minute (2004/I) .... The Challenge (2003) (TV) .... When in Rome (2002/I) (V) .... Getting There (2002) (V) .... "So Little Time" (26 episodes, 2001-2002) .... Holiday in the Sun (2001) (V) .... Winning London (2001) (V) .... Our Lips Are Sealed (2000) .... Switching Goals (1999) (TV) .... Passport to Paris (1999) (V) .... "Two of a Kind" (22 episodes, 1998-1999) .... Billboard Dad (1998) .... It Takes Two (1995) .... How the West Was Fun (1994) (TV) .... The Little Rascals (1994) .... Double, Double, Toil and Trouble (1993) (TV) .... To Grandmother's House We Go (1992) (TV) .... "Hangin' with Mr. Cooper" (1 episode, 1992) .... "Full House" (174 episodes, 1987-2005). Also such as the Adventures and Party series.

Okay, I used to love Mary-kate and Ashley films when i was too young to really understand the plot, but as soon as i hit double figures i discovered that the films were just air-headed bimbos flaunting the fact that they can be in their own movies. The film starts off by the bratty girls moaning that they cant go to Hawaii because they're going to the Bahamas in Daddy's private jet! OH NO. The so called villain Champlain (who's name must have been thought up by a recovering alcoholic who cant let go of his Champagne loving life) must be a sprint athlete! He must be touching 60 but still managed to 'run' away from MK&A in the 'chase scene' that makes Tom&Jerry chase scenes look like they should be 18 Rated. Why the hell was everyone allowed out on their own all the damn time?! Their dad seemed quite adamant that he wanted them to go to the Bahamas, so why when they got there did they all just ditch each other? Even Keegan, who looked like she isn't even in secondary education yet, was allowed to the beach on her own to drink root beer. Yes OK then. Breanna Wallis, who's friends were so far up her bum i could see them poking out of her mouth, was badly acted out and had no real role to play other than bunny-boiler! Griffin who 'isnt so geeky anymore' and all the so-called Hunks that all the girls love, cant act to save their lives and seem to get pleasure out of stalking MK&A until they get to make out with them. How many smoothies do two people need to consume in one movie?! Oh god and talk about clichés.. The police just happen to turn up as they happen to uncover some 'evidence.' 'You want evidence?, We got evidence.' No! shut up, don't talk to police like they are dumb. And why the hell weren't the twins locked up for stealing a boat? I'm from england and if i was to go to the port, break into a yacht, drive it without any form of license, search it and then when the police came to arrest me, i acted cocky, i would be banged up! I wanted to scratch my eyeballs out.
