'Blue Lagoon'/'Return To The Blue Lagoon'(Columbia Tristar)

I give it 2 1/2 stars.The first movie,the 1980 sappy tear-jerker should be seen with a female that you're either trying to impress or someone you're already involved with.I thought the original was okay.Plenty of beautiful scenic shots and decent job of acting by the two teens(that were ship wrecked years earlier)that are in love.Richard(Chistopher Atkins)and Emmeline(Brook Shields)experience a life together that is nearly impossible in the real world.Some nice nude scenes from(what I assume)to be a stand in for Shields.The sequel 'Return To...' (1991)I thought was a complete waste of time and trouble.Didn't even come close to standing up to the first film.Upside is it comes with the original,anyway. March 12, 2005
