Here we have another Hollywood projection of what romantic love is and should be. Only problem is....you would have to be an idiot child to not realize how unrealistic Hollywood's fantasy love is. In this movie, we have full grown adults falling in lust....I mean falling "in love" at first sight - as when the voluptuous blonde emerges from the ocean nearly naked and catches the adoring eye of her male admirer. Only problem is....she's married. But really...who cares about that small detail when we have an ocean side waiter who just can't wait to get his hands on her. Within a matter of a few days, we have an extramarital, true love that's been fully consummated and practically sanctioned by the Catholic Church. Not to be deterred, the admiring towel boy, convinced that he has found a "love" that was meant to be, decides it's best to follow his married woman back to her home, far removed from the vacation paradise where the two had met. OK....this just gets messier and more unreal as the plot progresses. What's sad is the message that so many young people get from these types of Hollywood depictions. They think "love" is actually something that can happen overnight and then last forever. Nothing could be further from the truth. True, unconditional, unending love takes decades to develop and solidify. Most married folks never even get to that point. When you are young, it's all about hormones and lust - which has little to do with the deep emotional bond of real love. Those hormones do serve a purpose. They get young people hooking up, conceiving and producing the next generation. Movie had decent acting.....hence the 6 rating.
