Storyline
Perfectly respectable youngster Ben refuses to stand by when his girl-friend, provocatively impish drug addict Sophie, is shipped off by her airhead ma and brutally domineering stepfather to dodgy Dr. Norman Hail's completely isolated Fiji 'boot camp'.

User Review

I really don't know what to think of this movie

Rating: 7/10


Within the first 15 minutes of the film I was about to turn it off
because of the horrible acting, but I just couldn't. I finished the
entire thing and there was just something about it that I really
enjoyed. The entire story was something that I have never seen in a
film before, and nothing was really predictable about it.

Most of the horrible acting came from no name actors. Mila Kunis played
her role very well, as did Peter Stormare. There was something really
cheesy about the whole "captured and taken to an island" idea, but I
really think with some better actors it could have been pulled off much
better.

The cinematography was excellent, and the soundtrack was just amazing.
The island location was a perfect choice and really added a lot to the
film.

I still don't know why I enjoyed it so much, but I would say it is
worth a rental to see for yourself.
