Although the Olsen twins are their generally adorable selves in "Holiday in the Sun," the movie was a bit of a disappointment. The other comments have some truth in them. . .it does seem very much like an advertisement for the Atlantis Resort. Let's see, what else. . .the "Cyrano de Bergerac" romantic plot was done better in "Whatever it Takes," and came off rather awkwardly here. As for the editing and home video-style shots, that's something of a Mary-Kate & Ashley trademark (see "So Little Time"). What bothered me most is that there wasn't an ongoing sense of tension or conflict present in some of their other films; this one is a lot of playing around, with a bit about antiquities smuggling thrown in at the end. So, if you're going to bash the twins, don't judge by this one alone; at least see some other ones, like "Our Lips are Sealed" and especially "Winning London" first.
