nothing comes from nothing

it's too bad this uses a lot of beautiful photography of a very beautiful island. If only it used shoddy backdrops for scenery, then it would stand as the masterwork of the "so bad it's funny!" genre (if we can call it that).

Unfortunately, with all this lush scenery, our eyes, pained with having to look at these teen-age twerps trying to act, drift repeatedly to the background, where the breeze gently teasing the palm leaves reminds us that time is passing, and we feel morbidly paralyzed by boredom, horrifyingly reminded that, for the lurid expectation of a voyeuristic glimpse of teen-age lust (however briefly - very briefly), we are letting our lives just waste away as we try to find some image or line of dialog of any meaning or importance - but this never arrives. So we flow grudgingly along a slow current of sludge into the lagoon where we are so buried under poor writing and atrocious acting, we are forced to confront the eternal question of human life: "Is this it?! Is this all there is?!" and hope - longingly, lovingly - for a painless death....

Or we switch the channel to the Cartoon Network and find some reason for being alive. "SPAAACE GHOOOST!"
