The new year/ century/ millennium is still very young, and already I've seen one of the worst movies of the new era! This movie really is a mess! As I understand by the opening credits it's a typical "Europudding", a term my great hero Barry Norman of BBC's film magazine always used for films that were financed with funds of different European countries, and with a lot of different actors from these countries acting together. Usually these films result in an incomprehensible mess of cultural differences, vague stories and the lot. So does this film! I hope and expect that someone somewhere had good intentions when writing and conceiving this film, but then somewhere everything went terribly wrong. The funders should ask their money back! Despite the beautifully shot pictures of Hawaii, the movie is a disaster: the story is un- involving and very moralistic, the acting is very poor and characters are flat and predictable. The music is much too loud constantly. I hope ( and maybe even predict) that this one "goes straight to video", and then is forgotten in some quiet little corner. ( I voted a simple 1!)
