"You know how a woman gets
a man excited? She shows up. That's it. We're guys, we're easy.
Of course, for that you can't charge six bucks an issue, now can
you?" – Quinn
Harris
Why watch this?
It's refreshing to watch the reliable Ford and sexy newcomer Anne Heche.
Plot Summary:
On a romantic vacation with her fiancé, a busy New York magazine
editor is called away for an urgent work assignment in Tahiti.
She hires a gruff, laid-back cargo pilot with whom she shares a
mutual dislike to fly her to the neighboring island. A sudden
storm forces them to crash-land on a deserted island, where they
must survive the wilderness and each other's company while
awaiting rescue.

Dad's Preview:
Ford and Heche are such an unlikely couple both on and off the
screen. However, they're more than convincing, and their chemistry is the
heart of this film. These two people become stranded
on an island fraught with dangers, including modern day pirates.
He's trying to forget a past relationship, while she's a
fast-moving executive unsure of her current fiancé (Schwimmer is
so funny). This
well-done film will have you giggling and ooh-ing at the island
scenery. Anne, dear sweet girl, you left us too soon. |
