Critic Reviews

  • Variety Staff, Variety

    Return to the Blue Lagoon is a pointless spinoff of the 1980 hit, which was itself a remake of a 1949 British pic.

  • , Time Out

    Like a sex education film made by semi-liberated nuns, the movie keeps its sticky truths hidden beneath a veneer of leering cleanliness.

  • Caryn James, New York Times

    The Fijian background looks pretty, but there's no escaping the fact that the tropical flowers and trees seem smarter and more appealing than the people.

  • Hal Hinson, Washington Post

    Up until now, I thought it was pretty near impossible to feel nostalgia for The Blue Lagoon. But darned if life isn't full of surprises.

  • Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

    The sincere idiocy of this film really has to be seen to be appreciated -- not that I think there is any need for you to see, or appreciate, it.

    This was really quite atrocious. It seemed to start off okay for a bad follow on to a movie that was probably ill advised to start with. But the minute the kids grew up and became Milla Jovovich and Brian Krause, it was all over. (Admittedly Brian Krause is not that bad, and may… More

  • Dean M


    One of the least welcome sequels ever about the son of the original castaways gets cast away himself on yet another tropical island with a pretty girl and her mother.

  • Jason S


    Pretty much the same as the first one. A little better though.
