Very Cool!!!

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

There is so much beauty in this supposedly naive and simple story that is beyond description. Or you can see it as another version of the Garden of Eden from the Bible. I think this is the simplest way to talk about our world: two children living outside it. This is the second time I have seen human courtship documented so beautifully - or as an old saying says: authorities and powers of this world that never let us live and love in life as we should have...

I use IMDb almost daily, and slowly I have learned not to discount a movie based on others' ratings solely. This movie is a gem - I missed out on seeing it in the theater as I didn't start high school until 1983.It is a skillfully woven tale of survival, friendship, love and the human condition. For my tastes there are a few scenes that are over the top goody-goody, but given the nature of the film I just let them slide.In typical US moronic fashion, the film was panned by critics and considered to risqué for teens to watch given partial nudity in scenes throughout the movie. I guess its better to read National Geographic in the school library. Sure, I'm male, and Brooke Shields is easy on the eyes, but any mainstream internet selfie is more likely to be considered more perverse than anything in this film.

This DVD review was sponsored by www.DaaVeeDee.com - This is one of those movies that is perfectly entertaining, especially for teenagers or couples who are up for a different twist on romantic comedy. In a way it's good for reflecting on the basic wants and needs in every person's life, without all the clutter of our sheltered society. It's also a good film to view with your kids as they enter teenage hood, helps understand some of the mood changes and different emotions that one goes through, as much boys as girls. The setting of the film is on a remote island, so it really brings things down to basics. All in all, the film is probably very under-rated and well worth the affordable price!

This movie is beautiful. All caps: beautiful.The idea for this movie alone is very unique and intriguing. The casting did a great job based on actors physical appearance. But, unfortunately they are very bad actors (maybe still too young in this movie) Brooke Shields is 14-15 (while filming for this movie)!!!Still, bad acting gets better, and is almost acceptable by the end of the movie.The scenery in this movie is beautiful.And the story is between a boy and a girl , stranded on a beautiful island and coming of age.. probably at around 15, they for the first time in their lives become attracted one to another..The natural relationship and family creation and interpersonal arguing and smiling, and attraction and love and lust and frustration and health and sickness and clashing opinions and trying to figure each other out. etc.. Is again beautiful. Just a classic, that makes a strong impact on the viewer! I also like the ambivalent ending. I believe they got saved. I hope they did.BUT, it is soooooo frustrating! Why? Because this movie could be one of the best movies ever made. If the script was just a tiny bit better and if the actors only knew how to act, and create a even more powerful chemistry on the screen.Real rating: 8.2
