OK, as a movie it stinks. It is sort of an inferior extension of gorgeous Gardner McKay's once popular TV series ADVENTURES IN PARADISE, and verification of McKay's own worst suspicions that acting wasn't his forte. (He once told an interviewer he never even FELT good looking and HATED the pretentiousness of Hollywood). Such unassuming admissions almost COMPELLED one to like him! Still, with all the publicity he garnered, who could have blamed this nice, basically introverted guy for trying? This film couldn't win dramatic awards. But it is pleasantly inoffensive--and even has a few chuckles--as well as a bevy of cute girls and some nice tropic photography. It is also hard to deny that Mr. McKay could easily qualify as one of the best looking men to have ever passed through Hollywood's portals--something the film helps attest.
McKay died in November of 2001, having enjoyed critical success as a playwright and novelist.
