Quinn Harris (Harrison Ford) is a cranky pilot ferrying merchandise around a cluster of tropical islands. Although he despises the tourists who swarm onto the islands, he agrees to act as an air-taxi for New Yorker Robin Monroe (Anne Heche), who urgently needs to get to Tahiti. When a storm forces the plane down, the mismatched couple are forced to battle it out against the elements - and each other.

| 1:32 | People don’t wear berets often enough. |
| 3:09 | It’s Ross! |
| 4:11 | I wouldn’t like it if Mr C talked to my boss behind my back. |
| 8:08 | That is a scary plane. The price you pay for paradise. |
| 9:52 | She is very skinny. |
| 14:29 | The contrast between sunny island and snowy New York is good. |
| 18:35 | A rickety old plane. A storm brewing. I wonder. |
| 21:35 | Wow. It took him a long time to get over missing her, didn’t it? |
| 28:21 | Phone signal can never be relied upon, can it? |
| 34:18 | If my fiancé had a plane crash, I wouldn’t be getting in no plane. |
| 36:23 | She must have seen a pig before. |
| 41:41 | Being that kind of shipwrecked (airwrecked?) doesn’t seem all so bad. Why is she so cranky? She even has alcohol! |
| 44:39 | “I’ve flown with you twice, you’ve crashed half the time.” |
| 51:20 | They are lucky the life raft didn’t get punctured when it exploded in the plane. |
| 1:00:09 | Blimey. That’s an enormous drop! He’s a sensible man for getting a kiss in first. |
| 1:05:16 | He left! I kinda don’t believe that. |
| 1:06:19 | They are all so faithful. This is most unusual in films… maybe not. |
| 1:14:16 | If just cuddling up to someone can make you think up elaborate plans like that, there should be more cuddling. |
| 1:18:12 | They are not very bright people - shooting upwards. Honestly. |
| 1:20:40 | There must be a less populated area of the island she could have aimed for. |
| 1:22:43 | A cup of tea after a major incident is so British! |
| 1:26:07 | He would make a good receptionist, I think. |
| 1:28:54 | I can’t quite believe the ring survived a deserted island escapade and is not only unscathed but also very shiny. |
Thoughts
I watched a lot of films over Christmas, and I need to do a bit of a catchup. Over the next week or so, I’ll post a Film Watch every day. I don’t really want to spam the blog with them, but there’s a mixture of good and bad films that need to be discussed!
This is such a terrible film, with weird characters that make strange decisions. However, I do like some of the dialogue, and even though the hate-turned-love story is so clichéd, the insults are quite fun. I also really like Ross being in it.
Rating: 2 / 5
