The Blue Lagoon is one of those strangely captivating movies. A unique storyline, and well cast characters. For two young actors they manage to portray compelling chemistry and honesty. Though of course the two people growing up on a semi deserted island would just happen to be absolutely gorgeous.

Although panned by most critics, this film represents something we all want: love and beauty. Beauty, on more levels than just Brooke Shields' tan, in being true love, without the "corruption" of western culture, feelings of guilt or shame. Though being called unrealistic- is it really? If we all went back to a simpler way of life, cut through the complicated nature of everyday life, could we not be more stable, and find true love? I enjoyed this film, it was witty, innocent, and beautiful.

Oh, come on. I know more than a few people who enjoyed "The Blue Lagoon". This is actually a wonderful story and yes, there a more than a few questions. I mean, how do two children survive on a deserted island? I'm not sure, but the story worked well.This is a true love story, because it comes from natural love. This isn't like "You're the only girl/boy on this island, so...". This was more of "I'm falling in love with this woman/man." Their love for each other was so unique and wonderful that it makes you want to be on a deserted island with someone. Plus having Christopher Atkins or Brooke Sheilds as your partner helps somewhat too. :D It's a great movie that I feel is a bit under rated. Give it a chance.7/10
