Randal Kleiser directs Brooke Shields, Christopher Atkins and Leo McKern in this romance adventure where two child cousins are shipwrecked on a tropical island paradise and then discover each other sexually.

Infamous for an underage Shields being constantly in the nude… though the reality is a very obvious body double being used whenever nature cannot conceal her. Like a lot of arthouse movies, there is an undeniable beauty to it and it is trying to say something grandiose about human existence but you kinda just sit through The Blue Lagoon and once watched out of curiosity you know you’ll never revisit it. Unlike an arthouse film the motivations behind this production are seedier and this intentionally filled the grindhouse circuit programs for years. A weird alternative for men not brave enough to buy a ticket for a porno. Given the age of the star give me a proper adult movie any day of the week.
