If you are anything other than a 11-16-year-old girl, you are advised to skip this film. Chances are, it won't do much for you. This is strictly a teen girls movie, pure and simple.
Brooke Shields {"Emmeline") and Christopher Atkins ("Richard") swim half naked in the beautiful waters of some South Pacific Island and both are young, "beautiful people." The girls will swoon at Atkins and admire Shields, wishing they were her.
It's kind of an early two-person "Survivor" show before there was a hit TV series as the kids, er, young adults, learn to cook and do other things after being shipwrecked on this island and then having the ship's cook die. In the meantime, they learn about sex and other exciting topics.
If you're a guy and you think you might be titillated by watching a pretty teen girl naked, forget it. Brooke's chest, which isn't much to start with, is covered up with her long hair and she's replaced by doubles on other scenes, so go elsewhere for your soft porn. It's not that kind of movie.
Overall, I found it fairly boring, empty story with only the beautiful island scenery appealing. The two stars are lackluster. The fact that neither one, particularly Atkins, ever became a star in the business tells you something about their acting ability. Once the young looks were gone, so was their brief and over-inflated "career" from this movie. If you think I'm being a little too rough on them, check out their film resumes - there isn't much there in the way of impressive films or anything you've even heard about.
