I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
... View MoreThere's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
... View MoreThe movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
... View MoreThis is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
... View MorePlot is derivative of Crocodile Dundee... sophisticate encounters outdoorsman, culture clash, outdoorsman comes to the city and proves his mettle, both return to the wild and live happily and environmentally ever after. Jaclyn Smith has never looked better... her makeup was flawless, even during the storm and capsize. It took me awhile to recall that I knew Tim Matheson from Animal House, "Otter" the player who beds the Dean's wife. This character is a pleasant diversion for him, and he did well. Also, plot segments are reminiscent of "The Perfect Storm" (experienced sea-goer getting caught out in it) and "African Queen" (with apologies to Bogart and Hepburn... 2 opposites joining forces to battle antagonists). I give it 3 of 10.
... View MoreSure it's predictable...the sunrise is predictable but don't you just love to bathe in its warmth. This is a terrific performance with exquisite acting reserve. Both lead characters are real to perfection played by Tim Matheson and Ms. Smith.The co stars do a marvelous job as well. Just sit back and enjoy it. If you've been divorced or lost a love one and tried to start again you can see reality protrayed with honesty so real you can feel it deep down. A quality film.
... View MoreOkay, it is your typical "they hate each other at FIRST SIGHT" to falling madly in love in the course of a DAY! They are BOTH a couple of rude crabapples that deserve each other. I can't believe that ANY two people who had just met would be so crude and impolite....there was never even a "nice to meet you"...they just went right at it! Of course, when they have to get naked while their boat is sinking (to ostensibly keep each other warm) they become a little friendlier. It is all too much.....and very hard to buy. Don't waste your time.
... View MoreThis is a good romantic film and to my surprise it was really touchy. The story is an orthodox one of love. the kind that starts with tensions and resistance and ends up with everlasting love.to add more the movie is also giving a clear and simple idea about our lives. It tells us to stop for a moment and ask what are we doing, a question that some poeple rarely give time for.The movie was good and i if you like to have a good time and watch a simple direct movie which is not filled with false action please see it and you will not be sorry.
