Disappointing

Rating: 6/10 (2 January 2001)

If the makers of Castaway were trying to convey how boring it is to be stranded on a deserted island -- they did a fabulous job. The pace of this movie is mind-numbingly slow and the characters were undeveloped. All we learn about the protagonist in the beginning (which is just one long Fed Ex plug) is that he's obsessed with his job and time...more time was spent developing his relationship with a volleyball than the love of his life Helen Hunt.
