The African Queen meets Swept Away in this sometimes labored romantic comedy by director Ivan Reitman. Fortunately, he cast an old pro in Harrison Ford, as Quinn Harris, a South Seas charter pilot who must ferry New York fashion editor Robin Monroe (Anne Heche) from one island to another--a hop that falls flat when they fly into a mammoth storm that causes them to crash on a deserted island. The pair resent and resist each other, until they are forced to team up to escape from the island--and some modern pirates who want their heads. If that part of the story is unconvincing, you can always focus on the smoldering comic chemistry between Heche, who displays strong comic instincts, and the ever-reliable Ford. The script is just an excuse for these two flinty characters to strike increasingly romantic sparks off each other, which is always enjoyable to watch. --Marshall Fine Big-screen favorite Harrison Ford stars in this nonstop adventure hit about a dream vacation that turns into a hilarious tropical nightmare! A gruff, rough-hewn cargo pilot living in the islands, Quinn Harris (Ford) hates tourists ... though he's not above making a fast buck from a sharp-tongued New Yorker, Robin Monroe (sexy Anne Heche -- VOLCANO, WAG THE DOG), when she's desperate for a quick flight to Tahiti! But this already uneasy relationship suddenly takes a nosedive when his weather-beaten old plane is forced down in a storm! Now, stranded together on a deserted isle, Quinn and Robin quickly discover all the perils of paradise. As this mismatched pair find themselves facing danger at every turn, you're sure to find their misfortunes fueling one of Hollywood's most entertaining action-comedy hits in years! Review: Good movie - Good and humorous Review: This is one of Harrison Ford's and Anne Heche best films togther. - There was nothing to dislike about this film, it was all fun and then some. Harrison Ford is kind of like an older playboy who is having a little fun on an Island. While transporting people back and forth and making a little money to support his drinking habit. Playing around with his little side-kick young hottie. Then Anne Heche comes in with her new DR Beau and fiancee enjoying life thinking she is going to be the next Barbara Walters comes along and puts more laughter into the film she is hilarious when she feels like she is trapped with Harrison Ford and needs to be somewhere and her phone isn't working, and one things leads to another and she is constantly blaming him for everything, in return he is blaming her. Things get twisty and a little danger but all is good and its a very funny movie. I loved it and probably will watch it again like the 10 time or so.

A fun movie with features recycled from Star Wars
I liked Ann Heche. Even though her ".... ass is too narrow and your tits are too small" according to Harrison, her sweet face and charming, feminine gestures and her courage and competence under fire win my heart. I liked Harrison Ford with his ever-cool, confident demeanor in the face of misfortune. This was intended to be a simple, entertaining film without forcing the watcher to engage his critical thinking. Thus they used the same scene that Ford had acted in Star Wars only this time with his old airplane rather than a re-conditioned beyond-light-speed space ship. In fact he could have conceivably been the pilot Quinn in 1997 and - in an future incarnation - Hans Solo flying the Millenium Falcon, though the movie-makers created the Stars Wars epic 20 years before the "Six days" movie. Among the trivia it was pointed out that they left a bar on top of the plane in one scene and not the next scene and Ann started the climb the mountain wearing a clean white dress and continued in shorts and a t-shirt thing and then was again in her dress which she changed on camera back at the wrecked plane. But these trivial things did not take away from one's enjoyment of the movie if one does not think too much. I found it silly that they crashed onto this island - deserted, uninhabited, not on Ford's chart, somewhere near Tahiti that had not only water and a mountain to cause weather and rainfall and flowing potable water and bird life and insect life, but a handy wrecked Japanese warplane (though the Japanese did not go to Tahiti during their WWII offensive) from which they were able to salvage light-weight pontoons to float their wrecked plane off the island, held on by strips of bamboo - when the fact is there are no uninhabited, habitable islands anywhere anymore and no uncharted islands in the Pacific - the British navy charted every piece of dirt and coral over 200 years ago. But, hell suspend critical thinking and enjoy the fun movie. As Heche said of Ford he was living every man's dream but it was only for men under the age of 12. And me too. And I am almost as old as Ford and I still dream of such a paradise. So I was happy with the ending even though Ford is twice as old as Heche their characters were able to grab a chance at some happiness in a thatched-roof shack. Hey, we only live once, right? So take what happiness you can.

What a week!
I liked the movie although I thought Harrison Ford wasn't stretched too much by the script. Anne Heche put in a good performance alongside Harrison Ford but the script was weak at times. David Schwimmer was playing "Ross from Friends" in another movie which annoyed me. Overall a fun, action movie that is light hearted entertainment. Worth a viewing.

Very good movie. Many people have not enjoyed
Strong acting from superstar Harrison Ford. Set on an Island Paradise. Features a very attractive young woman who shows nearly everything in one scene. Great fun movie. Great outdoor scenes. Really actor Harrison Ford is fantastic in these type of movies. Strong supporting actors also.

Guter Film für Sonntag Nachmittag nach einer langen Nacht am Samstag. Unterhaltsam und man muss nicht viel nachdenken ;-)
