Interesting movie for the traveler in us all. Lord of the Flies-ish

Rating: Null/10 (12 December 2006)

I was surprised that I really liked this movie. I remember back when it came out wanting to see it because the trailer showed all this beautiful scenery, but then hearing that it sucked and steering clear. It was on TV tonight and I watched it and it was interesting. Thailand is gorgeous and you see the best of it here. Def a good movie for those who love to travel or desperately want to. It has the makings of a romantic comedy/catcher in the eye/lord of the flies type story...but at the same time its silly. Don't watch it and expect to laugh hysterically or cry or sit on the edge of your seat. This is just an interesting movie...with old ideas and old lessons...not profound or original...but beautifully shot. Worth renting for something different.
