 "A Exciting Tale of Young Love" June 30, 2008

I am a big Phoebe Cates fan.I have seen and enjoyed all of her films.This one came out on cable television in 1984.It's a simple coming of age story about 2 young people who find love with each other through a series of misadventures.A pretty good cast.I saw Blue Lagoon.I was not impressed with it.I liked this movie much better.I've seen it several times and loved it.

Can't remember exactly when this movie came out, but the premis of the movie is this in a nutshell; "Blue Lagoon" made over BUT with a twist. This movie is great if you like either of the "main" actor/actress.. Willie Aames and Phobe Cates. I think this was done after "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" but don't quote me on that. Not Oscar material for the over-all movie but Phobe Cates "naked" sure don't hurt the eye's any!
Great Movie April 6, 2008

This is a fantastic movie. The setting is exotic and the story is nice. Phoebe Cates is incredible here.

I am feeling generous, and giving it perhaps more stars than it deserved. It certainly was not Oscar material, but it also is not a simple rip off the the Blue Lagoon. One of the first things one has to do is reject geography. Where they find their oases in relation to where they got into problems is not rational, as some of them are clearly ocean related.
Some of the dialogue is atrocious, but then they are supposed to be quite young, so perhaps they might have said that. And it is based out of Baghdad in the early 19th Century.
As far as a comparison to Blue Lagoon, the problems they face and the perils they have to overcome are far greater than in that movie. They are not suddenly put in the middle of a tropical paradise. And the dangers continue from the "Jackal". Phoebe Cates, who is actually not a minor when the film was made, plays a stronger role, and the scenes of sensuality are at a much higher level than in the Blue Lagoon, and perhaps more reasonable. And for those really concerned, there is a fair amount of female nudity.
It is too bad there is no background information or soundtracks for this film, as there are things that would be interesting to know about behind the scenes. In Blue Lagoon, a body double (who was actually in her 30's) did many of the nude scenes. Were those nude scenes of Phoebe Cates or a body double? Whatever, they are done tastefully, and not unlike what could have actually happened in a situation like they supposedly were in.
 Definite "Blue Lagoon" rip-offf July 12, 2007

And of all the actors in Hollywood, who decided to pair beautiful Phoebe Cates with Willie Aames in this story?
