Mila Kunis in a movie? That isn’t related to an animated comedy? As if that wasn’t exciting enough, Kunis spends most of the film wet and grungy in the South Pacific. The ever present evil-step parent, Kunis’ father-in-law, convinced her mother to send her to be “rehabilitated” along with dozens of other young adults deemed beyond control by their parents. It’s a little bit like Lord of the Flies with the addition of a European egomaniac and multiple stages of tee shirt colors. With Gregory Smith playing the hopeful and helpful boyfriend rescuer, the story is your standard damsel in distress saga, but certainly captivating enough to keep my attention all the way through. Not the best of films, but by no means the worst either. If you are browsing Netflix now…eh, you could stop on this one.
