Critics Consensus

A generally enjoyable, if completely forgettable piece of Hollywood fluff.

It's enjoyable thanks to the attractive screen presence of Heche and Ford, but director Ivan Reitman fails to capitalize on his leads' chemistry.

Rated: 3/5

A starry cast and idyllic location can't save this largely-forgotten adventure-comedy from feeling lost at sea.

...a somewhat hit-and-miss endeavor that benefits substantially from Ford's remarkably loose, engaging turn.

This wasn't very good. It certainly wasn't worthy of Harrison Ford. Also, all the characters seem like absolutely terrible people. Disappointing.

Back when Heche was kinda cute and Ford was a rugged co-lead that steals her heart when they crash land. The late 80s Indiana Jones feel included Schwimmer.

Despite the poor reviews, I found it an enjoyable romp - the purpose of a film should be to entertain and for my sins, I found it entertaining. No messages just a bit of fun delivered by a bunch of actors who knew their job.
