PRETTY GOOD
I saw this movie several years ago when I was a lot younger. I remember I liked it quite a bit but was sad in the end when I thought they had eaten the poisonous berries and died. Now I guess according to some reviewers they were not really dead?--Well I hope that's the case but I guess it really doesn't matter either way. Brooke Shields is absolutely beautiful in this movie and does a wonderful job in this role played opposite Christopher Atkins (who is not too bad himself.)It's basically about 2 kids (a boy and a girl)that accidentally get left behind on an Island and end up growing up there together. Since they hadn't learned much about sexuality prior to their being stranded there they have to discover it for themselves. And before too much longer there is a baby!---Much to their surprise! The neat thing about the movie besides the beatiful Brooke and the beautiful secenery is that it is about the innocence of two young children and how they have to make it on their own on a deserted island. We get to see some of the things they go through (some of their "growing up"). It makes for an intersting movie that is somewhat stimulating if I may say so. It's a neat story with some great footage. Everyone should see it at least once. I have just ordered a copy so I can watch it again. And again...and again..... You really should see this one for yourself.

Maybe the director could have lessened on the nudity?
"The Blue Lagoon" has a romantic setting, but all the sex wasn't necessary. Now the sequel, although poorer than the first, was considerative of the content. I really can't decide between beautiful, innocent Brooke Shields or lovely,kind Milla Jovovich? And I can't decide between smart,resourceful Christopher Atkins or handsome, fierce Brian Krause? It would have been neat if they could have formed a long movie with the 2 couples, but I think Brooke and Chris are Milla's and Brian's parents. I loved the character Emmeline, played by Brooke. This talented actress later played in "Freaked," "Brenda Starr," and starred in the hit television series "Suddenly Susan." I just think kids would be a bit traumatized by all the naked bodies, that's all.

FANTASTIC
The film was dissected by most critics, but I have always enjoyed it. The stars; Christopher Atkins and Brooke Shields shine in their youthful beauty and performances. The movie was banned in Oslo when it opened in 1980, but it played to full houses in the provinces. The docu on this DVD is good, but the sound is not on par with the movie.

I think the critics at the time was embaressed by its sensual frankness and therefor tried to "kill it". It was a huge hit though and still is a film you should see with your loved-one:-)
