Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
The African Queen meets Swept Away in this sometimes laboured 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 smouldering 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, Amazon.com

Format:VHS Tape
I have read the review by Empire and I feel obliged to write my thoughts on this film. I am of the opinion that this film is a very good bit of escapism. In a film world full of extreme sex & violence, this film was a breath of fresh air. No extreme violence (ok! there was a modicum of fighting, but little more than a 1950's pirate film). Please could we have more of this kind of entertainment? Well done to all involved in the making of this film.

This is a great film, I watched it when it first came out, and I thought it was great. It tells the story of 2 people. Who are stranded on an island after a lighting strike hit their small plane. Its a funny, little film, and Harrison Ford does a great job. You should really buy this film.

This film is great fun. Harrison Ford and Anne Heche are a superb combination with a good on screen chemistry between them. It's an adventure packed with dodgy aeroplanes, desert islands, pirates and a decent amount of laughs. It's thoroughly enjoyable, pretty unbelievable but with some great characters and it therefore makes a great piece of escapist fun. Put your feet up and enjoy it - we did!

Brilliant comic acting.
Have not seen much of Anne Heche before, shame, but it takes a great comic actress to bring out the real humour in a performance by Harrison Ford.
