55 Reasons 'Holiday in the Sun' is the Best

It's an argument that launched a thousand ships — that is, a thousand varying opinions. Which is the best Mary-Kate and Ashley movie? Now I know what you're thinking, "How can I even begin to choose?!" And it's a valid concern. With such classic offerings as Billboard Dad, Passport to Paris and the Kristie Alley-led It Takes Two, it's near impossible to decide. But if you really take your time to luxuriate in all the options, the answer emerges entirely clear: Holiday in the Sun.

For the uninitiated — who, let's be honest, is none of you if you are taking the time to read this page — Holiday in the Sun follows Madison and Alex Stewart, who are whisked away by their excessively wealthy father for a family vacation at Atlantis resort in the Bahamas. That's basically all you need to know to enjoy the film. Yes, there are three love interests (hand curated by the twins themselves), one silver-spoon goodie-two-shoes (played flawlessly by a young Megan Fox), and a mystery surrounding priceless stolen antiquities. You know, the usual.

So while I've already offered up an abundance of reasons to love the film, here are 55 more reasons why G-rated Holiday in the Sun is the best Mary-Kate and Ashley movie, hands down.

The dream sequences

I, too, want to be surrounded by a gaggle of preteens with frosted tips.

The Bueller-esque quality of the classroom scene

Who has time for photosynthesis analysis, really? There are beaches to lie on.

EVER.

The girl group singing in the "club"

Who looked like they were extras on Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century.

Megan Fox being the original mean girl

And saying things like: "I'm so tired of these lavish winter parties... and enjoying the good graces of my affluent father."

I repeat: MEGAN FOX!

It features artsy angles and angsty black and white shots

It features the best line in all of cinema:

"So Brianna, it just wouldn't be winter vay-cay if you didn't hook up with the cutest boy on the beach, who's it gonna be?"

Location, Location, Location

Their perfect and flawless lipgloss

The hair accessories

like oversized headbands.

Their super cliche but romantic dates

Like horseback riding.

When they're all "Cultural appropriation? What's that?!"

An epic shopping montage

The scooter scene

Not just for European cobblestone streets!

The croptops

Seriously, there isn't a single person (including the guys) who aren't wearing a crop top at some point in this film.

The fact that the entire movie is a giant advertisement for Atlantis

As if there was anywhere else you'd want to spend winter vay-cay.

The Parents

The Parents Trying to Be Cool

Lines like this: "Did anyone ever tell you, that I am going to kiss you?"

No, but that would be really creepy if they did.

"You're hot, come be in my movie" — is how I imagine the casting process took place.

The Water sports

The Girl Power Anthem-y Soundtrack

Using Walkie Talkies as a legitimate means of communication

Griffin Being the Worst Wingman in the World

But Also Sort of the Best

That quickly turned into the absolute worst

But somehow Jordan made cutting up dead fish seem sexy.

The "Having Your Cake" Argument

And the "Making Your Bed" Argument

It could happen to you!

It's 87 minute run time

I mean truly, take note David Fincher.

The Fact that Mary Kate got *TWO* love interests in one film

And that greasy hair.

When Jordan sings a song dedicated to Alex

But still has to spray down Brianna at the pool because her father practically employs him

Such a bummer.

The black and white cutaways of locals

That were both confusing and added nothing to the artistic merit of the film.

The underwater scenes

Their matching blonde streaks

Their matching outfits

And the underlying message of the importance sisterhood

And snagging a really hot guy for Winter vay-cay
