Ironic title. A spoiled, bratty young female political candidate and an immature ignorant male fisherman are marooned on a deserted island (...a 3-hour tour...). Sparks fly but not in the same direction as Lina Wertmuller's classic. This was also a biting satire but went in unexpected directions. Several really ugly scenes...mostly involving rape provided an unsettling tone.
By the end I was on board with the film but question some of the decisions made. The shifting tone worked against the film's main goal. Easy to remember though...
