I have seen a lot of bad movies in my time. I do go out of my way to find these bad movies just because of the comedy factor. But after light heartedly agreeing to watch this film, I would soon become brain dead.
Here is a rundown of the story, the twins are about to embark on a school holiday to Hawaii when their extremely rich father sweeps them away and tells them that they are going on a family holiday to the Bahamas. "Oh no!" the girls cry. Oh No? I would not be complaining if my parents took me on a luxury holiday to the Bahamas on a private jet. When they reach their holiday destination the film takes a strange turn, it stops being a movie and becomes a badly filmed promotional video for the luxury Atlantis Holiday Resort, featuring obvious stock footage of cameras swooping from above. This HOUR long section features little story but a huge emphasise on having fun splashing about in one of the Atlantis' many pools and have a large quantity of smoothies (even the cups feature the Atlantis logo). There are completely pointless scenes showing their parents having fun in the sea, who cares what the mum and dad are doing, I thought this was about the twins. Also their dad wanted them to spend a holiday together, yet the parents and twins seem to spend at least three quarters of the film apart, letting their daughters splash around in the pool with boys in the dark, the characters have to be at maximum 15 years old in this film, I can safely say that having money does not make you a good parent.
During the having fun in the sun section we are however introduced to some other characters such as the local "hunk" (or pool cleaning boy) and the totally horrible for no reason girl of the film Brianna (Played by Megan Fox in her debut role). After some really poor attempts at villainy Brianna slowly backs down and fades into obscurity. After more splashing around there is suddenly a story about some treasures that had been stolen. At this point I had no idea what was going on, suddenly the film laid on a really poor attempt of a story after about an hour of birds eye views of the hotel complex. They go into prison for the first time, I didn't really understand why it happened and the pool boy is kept in there whilst the always conscientious Mary-Kate and Ashley are set free with their geek friend. They then start to chase this old man, who we aren't introduced to. The chase scene is pretty poor and they end up finding the man's yacht. Soon after they then proceed to steal the yacht for no apparent reason and the police are hot on their trail. When the police catch up with them they somehow find the treasure on board, and treat the police as if they are completely stupid saying "You want evidence, this is evidence", the police make a "Oh you girls!" face and not arresting them for stealing a yacht. The end of the film is so terrible its not even worth mentioning but I won't spoil the really terrible surprise.
The film is dizzying, every shot is at a angle, changing from side to side. There are far too many close ups, and the camera shakes a lot on these. Filters on the footage are constantly changing (e.g. black and white, old film style). Overall the filming would give any viewer a headache or motion sickness. I have no idea what they wanted to achieve by doing all of these "artistic" shots. The worst thing about this film is that it is so unrealistic and bland. This is bad for even Mary- Kate and Ashley's standards.
Final words: Its so bad, it isn't even funny, its embarrassing.
