From director Ivan Reitman (Twins, Evolution) this is quite a good desert island that could have been slightly better and funnier, but worth watching none the less. Basically Robin Monroe (Anne Heche) and her long time boyfriend Frank Martin (David Schwimmer) take a vacation to the tropical paradise of Makatea in the South Pacific. They arrive and are taken to their hotel by plane by middle-aged American pilot Quinn Harris (Harrison Ford), and the vacation seems to be going well, for one day anyway. Robin can't escape her work when she is needed urgently, so she pays Quinn to take her to Tahiti, but a storm stops them, and they are struck, crash landing on a deserted island. They are now fighting for their survival, constantly bickering, and eventually slowly falling for each other. Frank meanwhile is trying to get people to search for them, while at the same time being tempted by the seduction of Quinn's "friend" Angelica (Jacqueline Obradors). Quinn and Robin have become more close to each other, and pirates threaten them, so they have to work fast to try and get the plane to fly again. In the end, injured Quinn and Robin get back to Makatea after defeating the pirates, and Robin and Frank admit their feeling for other people, and break up, and Robin and Quinn get their "happy ending". Good!
