Blue Lagoon: The Awakening (2012 TV Movie)
6/10
Stranded-on-an-island romance,

Warning: Spoilers
I watched this in hopes on taking a look at their survival skills and observing Indiana Evans' acting. I know her from H20 and that's it (I always knew those accents were fake) and I don't like her character.

Anyway, this movie revolves around beauty queen Emma (Indiana) and outcast Dean (Brenton). I expected Dean's personality to be different, but I liked it as it was. I have no idea HOW no one saw Emma fall overboard. Unrealistically falling, may I add. Dean refuses to follow the police boat and they float out into the Caribbean. Once there, they paddle to shore on a nearby deserted island. The first idiotic mistake they make is not pulling the raft up more, as it floats away but they manage to save one life jacket. After this, they begin adapting to their new (temporary) life rather well. Not to mention that Dean is coincidentally equipped with survival skills and knows how to be independent. It's all candy and roses for the first two weeks I believe they are there. They screw each other multiple times and become closer. One minute Emma says she likes where she is and the next she's freaking out about being stranded.

After three months, they get rescued by a helicopter after firing off their flare gun. Upon their arrival, both teens unite with their parents (Denise Richards could not have been a better match for Indiana's mother) and go back to school. Emma continues hanging with her group and Dean goes back to his regular, uneventful life. Emma unfortunately begins ignoring the boy who saved her life more than once, but still invites him to her party. He comes and waits for her in the rain, where they share a final dance and the film ends happily ever after.
