Not that bad.

Rating: 8/10 (20 January 2000)

I saw the beach with no expectations of any kind. I had not yet read the book, and I do not think Leo is a babe. The movie was no masterpiece, but not that bad either. It kept my attention, and there were both funny and thrilling scenes. If you only watch one movie this year, dont pick The beach. But if you enjoy movies in general, I am sure you will enjoy the beach. I did.
