trite story, poorly executed

Rating: 4/10 (8 March 2001)

There are lots of pretty things to look at in this movie - the leading lady, the scenery and lovely leonardo. Unfortunately this movie has little else going for it. It seems that when the producer and director were assembling this mess they forgot one thing, namely, a good writer. Apart from poor writing this movie has been directed (or edited)so that the pacing is jumbled and inconsistent. It is difficult to know whether the audience is expected to take this movie seriously or whether it is intended to be a comedy. If you like beautiful beaches and lots of tanned skin give this movie a try but if you find yourself getting bored after 20 minutes be forewarned - that's all there is to it.
