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

5.0 out of 5 stars great, 20 Feb 2003
This film is great whether your an olsen fan or not. I think it's one of the best of their films. It follows the same basic pattern which make their films succesful- fit boys, romance and they all just keep on getting into trouble. The dvd has lots of great features like the video for one of their songs and an interview with mary-kate and ashley. This film is great for people who are teenagers. Those under this age might not understand some of it but they will still enjoy it. both me and my sister {whos 20} both enjoyed it. If you are a fan of the Olsens and like boys you will love it. The basic plot is as shown. The twins want to go on a schooltrip to hawaii but instead get taken on a family holiday to Atlantis in the Bahamas. Determined to make the best of the situation the girls unleash a tropical hurricane of action and romance. But while they do this the plot thickens and mary-kate and ashley {Alex and Madison} end up caught up in a ring of smuggling! Mary-kate and ashley have the time of their lives on their holiday in the sun! Join them and have yours to.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mary-Kate and Ashley are growing up!, 14 Jul 2003
By Sophie (Somerset, England) - See all my reviews
From my point of view winning London marked there coming of age,since then there films have really grown up and the best thing about hoilday in the sun is that it proves this. The Olsen twins have grown up and there are now no longer for tweenagers, but teenagers to! In this actions packed adventure the twins were looking forward to a school trip to Hawai, but when there parents sprung a surprise trip to the Bahamas Atlantis resort, they had no choice but to go there instead! Of course they made the most of it meeting cute boys and getting one over on the resorts prom queen styled daddys girl. However there adventure goes terribly wrong when they stumble upon a drugs ring and there firend is arrested. It is then up to the famous Olsen twins to save the day and prove there friends inocence! This is a must see for all Olsen twin fans, as it's the best film yet!
