Stripped down Robinson Crusoe with an all white cast

Rating: 4/10 (19 October 2002)

A Fed-Ex employee gets stranded on a dessert island.
One of these two o' clock in the morning movies: It sounds like a good idea when you come up with it, but you laugh about it the next morning. Here they have made it.
Tom Hanks on an island. How many gags can you come up with? Learning to make fire? Finding shelter? Painting a volleyball and talking to it? Yes they have played all the cards that are available, but the hand is, sadly, threadbare.
The world's biggest Hank/Zemeckis fan is going to need a spare cushion to be able to stand three hours of this. Even when Hanks was doing exploitation it was entertaining exploitation. Given his slightly chubby appearance Hanks looks like he misses his gym as much as the other luxuries of life.
Sure, the movie has its moments of mild drama and interest, but even the word thin is an understatement. I cannot find a single reason to watch this movie, other than if you are a CCTV operator and need to give your pulse a rest...
