The vapidity is terminal. [Full review in Spanish]

Full Review | Jan 4, 2023

Director Graham opts to virtually remake a film that was widely disparaged by critics, again presenting visualizations of puberty with a controversially youthful cast.

| Original Score: 2/10 | Sep 24, 2020

A textbook example of a disaster that amazingly manages not only to contain bad acting and an appalling script, but also some of the most unconvincing love scenes ever committed to film.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 25, 2014

The lagoon is the locale to which this new movie disastrously returns.

| Jul 11, 2014

Graham paints a picture of love that is tediously sexist. One for pervs and frustrated holidaymakers only.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 21, 2013

The travelogue-style photography is soothing, the bodies are pretty and the music isn't offensive, but feature-length movies can't survive on the ingredients for a standard airline commercial.

| Original Score: 1/4 | May 21, 2013

Things are pretty much the same for the semi-nude kids in this movie as they were for the semi-nude kids in the first Blue Lagoon.

| Original Score: 1/5 | May 21, 2013

The movie is occasionally cutesy. That's the worst of it. You can't call it gross, but it is cutesy.

| Original Score: 2/4 | May 21, 2013

Return to the Blue Lagoon is neither campy enough to be howlingly funny nor prurient enough to be provocative.

| Original Score: 2/4 | May 21, 2013

Jovovich is a beauty recalling the very young Myrna Loy, Krause is boyishly handsome; both are capable and should survive this particular shipwreck.

| May 21, 2013

When an old scallawag spies on Lilli bathing naked in a waterfall, we civilized viewers are primed to condemn him. But we're all scallawags here.

| Original Score: 1/4 | May 21, 2013

At 15 years of age, I wanted to live inside this screen world of freedom and loinclothed abandon. Today, I wanted these kids to fall on some coral.

| Original Score: D | Aug 2, 2011

Even the soft porn is a total yawn.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 3, 2009

A movie whose best features are its lush tropical vistas has evident limitations.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 31, 2009

Return to the Blue Lagoon is a pointless spinoff of the 1980 hit, which was itself a remake of a 1949 British pic.

Like a sex education film made by semi-liberated nuns, the movie keeps its sticky truths hidden beneath a veneer of leering cleanliness.
