 The Blue Lagoon Review
The Blue Lagoon sparked a good deal of controversy upon its release in 1980, primarily due to the alleged nude scenes involving the teen stars, Brooke Shields and Christopher Atkins (in reality, adult body doubles were used during full nude scenes).
At its core the film is a coming-of-age story about two cousins that are stranded on a tropical island and must struggle to survive against the elements and other unseen dangers, all the while developing into sexually mature teenagers.
In the end, although The Blue Lagoon was hampered with a questionable script and some pretty horrible acting, there are enough strong points in the forms of Leo McKern, the natural beauty of the wildlife and the intriguing premise that I'll give this severely flawed film an average rating.

Return to the Blue Lagoon is, of course, a sequel to 1980's Blue Lagoon starring Brooke Shields and Christopher Atkins.
