The wooden Tab teamed with the steamy Linda as love birds never registered as credible. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Dec 22, 2010 Minor drama with a silly story of a pair of strangers stranded on a desert island paradise until a third party arrives and causes no end of trouble. Linda does what she can with very little and looks great. This was Tab's first film and he is extremely green but tries his best and he certainly looks like an island boy. See more Read all reviews
