Blue Lagoon DVD

 A "birds & bees" classic
For the true thinkers that believe in luxurie as a life free from material worries and a life full of true meaning, the Blue Lagoon will stun you with it's natural beauty, teenage romance and the charming challenge of becoming adults. A beautiful film, plain and simple...

 Wonderful movie
The quality of the DVD is amazing for the colors are brighter, the fuzziness is gone, and everything seems to be much clearer. Special features give wonderful insight to how the movie was made, what the actors went through while making it, and the deep impact that the film had on their lives.

 Best romance movie of all time
This has been a favorite of mine for over a decade and now that the DVD has come out, I could enjoy it for many more decades to come! The DVD is excellent in that it introduces footage about the making of The Blue Lagoon and interviews with the two stars. This movie deserves 10 stars at least, thank you for keeping it alive!!!

 This is a terrible movie.
How anybody can even consider this above two stars is mind-blowing, let alone a full five. I don't even know where to start. Emmeline and Richard, cousins (I think?), become lost on a tropical island after something strange involving fire happens to their ship (this is never really made clear). Along with them is the ship's robust old cook, Paddy. Paddy's character is not really clear, but he sort of just conforms to what the script calls for at any time. He is a father-figure, a raging drunk, a pervert (he chases the yound Emmeline and Richard down the beach telling them to take their clothes off), and an architect all in one. But, tragically, Paddy dies of somethingorother involving a barrel and a spider and another island and some unfortunate sleep-walking, and the kids are left to fend for themselves in a wilderness suspiciously devoid of any living things besides mangos. Of course, our young protagonists do a bang-bang job of surviving after the loss of their dear Paddy. They manage to build a three-story, weather proof house, complete with numerous front porches. Richard Hunts and Emmeline twiddles her thumbs as she waits for puberty. They spend their free time swimming nude in the ocean and, lo and behold, grow into lustful teenagers; Richard a strapping young lad of unnaturally large biceps, and Emmeline a beautiful, scantily-clad young woman. Emmeline, somehow, without the conveniences of modern bathrooms, manages to mantain meticulously-groomed fingernails and silky-smooth legs. Her hair, however, remains thoroughly uncombed. As Emmeline and Richard grow, they find that they are having funny feelings for eachother. The budding teenagers can't explain their feelings, and neither, really, can the audience. Emmeline, in some of the worst immitations of teenager flirting ever recorded in America, tells Richard that she's been having weird feelings for him. But, bashfully, she tells him that they are just feelings, and don't mean anything. Richard is having similair feelings for Emmeline, but refuses to admit it and, instead, hurls into unexplainable fits of adolescent rage, throwing things and yelling and even managing both at the same time. And... on and on the movie plods. Never stopping but never really getting anywhere, either. This movie is so laughably pathetic that it's almost worth watching, just so that you can tell your friends you have seen the worst movie ever made.
