A soggy Robinson Crusoe with a touch of Unrequited Love

Rating: Null/10 (5 February 2001)

Perhaps it's a generational thing -- after all, my moviegoing history dates to childhood in the 30s, so my perspective may be a little warped. But, with all due respect to the talented Mr.Hanks, this is a Robinson Crusoe for the new century that just doesn't work. High tech, yes. SFX, yes. But soggy, soooo soggy. And that dash of Unrequited Love is a tease that just doesn't work either, even when it involves the talented Ms Hunt. Too bad.
