Rating: 7/10 (13 June 2001)

"Cast Away" is an over-touted, over-wrought, commercial flick with Hollywood written all over it. The flick is obvious in the way it sets about to attract audiences with million dollar names and hype, push audience buttons with the perfect little romance front end and the soapy back end right down to the highly improbable delivery of one Fed Ex package which he (Hanks the castaway) refused to open even though it could have contained food, antibiotics, batteries, etc...duh. A formula flick made for mass appeal, "Cast Away" again proves that the Hollywood formula works and no-brainer entertainment rules the day.
