White Water Summer (1987)
Great scenery, terrible storyline.
I am still trying to figure out how the canoe magically transported itself across the shaky bridge to the mountain lake. The scenery in the movie is outstanding but the progression of the changing geography and scenes makes less sense than the story line. I give the movie a 2 for the scenery.
And now I am required to write an addition 5 lines that no one will read. Let's see. the river rescue scene at the end. At first Alan and Kevin Bacon's character start out on a huge river which narrows down to a much smaller white water river. Nowhere in the world does this happen Somehow Alan by himself gets Kevin with a broken leg down off the mountain and loads him in the canoe for the final white water scenes. There are numerous dumb inconsistencies in the story line just like that. Maybe the way to watch this is every time the movie flubs is take a straight shot. Then by the end you will not notice or care about all the lame mistakes.
