Ok, just the title is enough to make you cringe! I don't mind admitting that Tom Hanks is a good actor, but the whole concept of the story is pathetic! You have to be very lucky to survive that plane crash, and just as films go, he did! Ok, maybe theres a possibility that he would survive the crash, but once he got on the island, NO WAY would he survive for 4 years there! All he ate was raw fish and all he drank was a few drops of coconut milk each day! In my opinion, no one can live on that for 4 years! Its silly, and it got so boring cos he did the same stuff everyday. Another thing to completely put me off the film was that there was this girl sitting in front of me sobbing her heart out-I mean, for gods sake, get a life!Its not even a real story like the Titanic (don't even get me started on that!)
I have to say that the only good point about this film was that I had my boyfriend sitting next to me, and just knowing he is there is enough to put a smile on my face! ;)
