vlada321 Someone already mentioned that the movie is imbecilic with breathtaking scenery; scenery you can watch in documentaries, screen savers. I don't get how could Brooke Shields get this role and not Alexandra Paul or Elisabeth Shue, late Natasha Richardson, Helen Hunt, Julia Campbell etc etc.

nowickim 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.

kristian-engl 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!

Ryan Hogg This film had a pure feel to it with actors that wonderfully played anti social teens; not by choice might I add. The constant struggle to maintain their human selves were slowly destroyed by the crippling instincts of biology. The film makes aware the role that society has on our lives. The separation from society and lack of influence of society is why this film has created purity because without expectations and rules what is left to guide us and control us. The purity is further shown in the characters through the child like behaviour they have which made me think innocence of a child perhaps. Lastly Randal Kleiser has created what I can only call a pure love story.
