Summary: Quinn Harris is a gruff, rough cargo pilot who hates tourists but is quite happy to make a fast buck out of Robin Monroe when she needs a quick flight to Tahiti. Already their relationship is decidedly uneasy but when Quinn's plane is forced down in a storm on a deserted tropical isle this mismatched pair find themselves facing danger at every turn...

Tough as nails New York magazine editor (Heche) is surprised when her boyfriend (Schwimmer) pulls the romantic stunt of spontaneously buying tickets for a romantic South Pacific getaway. The trip seems to be shiny and happy until they find out that a grizzled curmudgeonly pilot (Ford) is their sole option for reaching their final destination, the remote island of Marcata. Along the way the bickering couple finds themselves stranded on a desert island, threatened by pirates, and ultimately, falling in love. A fun romantic comedy with good comic performances from Ford and Heche.

The African Queenmeets Swept Awayin this sometimes laboured romantic comedy by director Ivan Reitman. Fortunately, he cast an old pro in Harrison Ford, as Quinn Harris, a South Seas charter pilot who must ferry New York fashion editor Robin Monroe (Anne Heche) from one island to another--a hop that falls flat when they fly into a mammoth storm that causes them to crash on a deserted island. The pair resent and resist each other, until they are forced to team up to escape from the island--and some modern pirates who want their heads. If that part of the story is unconvincing, you can always focus on the smouldering comic chemistry between Heche, who displays strong comic instincts, and the ever-reliable Ford. The script is just an excuse for these two flinty characters to strike increasingly romantic sparks off each other, which is always enjoyable to watch. --Marshall Fine, Amazon.com
