Unless you're Kevin Kline, there's probably zero chance of seeing Phoebe Cates in the raw for real without the risk of a custodial sentence; the best that you can do is to get hold of an uncut copy of Cates' movie debut Paradise, a desert adventure/coming of age movie in which the gorgeous actress gives her fans, and her lucky co-star Willy Aames, plenty to get excited about.The delectable Miss Cates plays 19th Century English traveller Sarah, who finds herself lost in the desert with fellow teenager David (Aames) after their camel train is attacked by a ruthless gang of slave traders led by 'The Jackal'. Narrowly escaping capture on several occasions, Sarah and David eventually make their way to the coast where they spend their time frolicking in the sea, watching their pet chimp pull his pud, and—once their hormones kick in—getting jiggy with each other.This storyline, blatantly ripped off from the Brooke Shields hit The Blue Lagoon, ensures that fabulous Phoebe gets her kit off at regular intervals, proving that she is more than just a pretty face—she's got a rockin' bod as well!! Cates bares her awesome ass under a cascade of warm water in a cave, exposes her breasts as she examines them for size, and gives brief glimpses of bush as she goes for a naked underwater swim. She looks so yummy, it's no wonder that 'The Jackal' continues his search for Sarah to the bitter end...To be honest, as an adventure flick, Paradise is mediocre at best, but any film with this much Cates on display is guaranteed full marks from me.

Silly rehash of "The Blue Lagoon". The plot is pointless--this was just made to show Willie Aames and Phoebe Cates as nude as many times as an R rating would allow.Now I like "The Blue Lagoon". Yes it's stupid but Brooke Shields and Christopher Atkins had nice bodies and were actually not bad as actors. Beautiful cinematography too. As for this movie--Aames and Cates are young and have great bodies too--but they can't act. The nudity can only carry this movie so far. Without that you're left with a boring story and lousy actors. When I saw it at a theatre the audience was quiet--at first. After the first two nude scenes people started to walk out. Then people started giggling at the horrendous acting. By the end of the film most of the audience was in hysterics laughing out loud at this. I think the part that really set them off was when they showed the monkey miming what Aames did when he "pleasured" himself. That aside the characters were totally obnoxious. Aames comes across as a spoiled brat--Cates came across as not having a brain. Heck, this doesn't even have the beautiful shots that "Blue Lagoom" had! Unless you're desperate to see these two actors nude you can skip this.

They say "Paradise" is a rip-off of "The Blue Lagoon". Well, one person said that in the history of entertainment, there have been only seven original ideas, and Dorothy Parker said "The only ism Hollywood believes in is plagiarism".Whatever, sometimes a rip-off is better than what it rips off. David and Sarah are not stupid, unlike the kids in the other movie. They know about sex (they have a book, just in case they need help). Sarah initially is unwilling. David comments that he is going crazy saturating, since Sarah is holding out, but he never forces himself on Sarah. In fact, when Sarah says yes, he makes certain that she is really willing.They know about what makes babies. Having a baby for a teenager is always rough, but they know how it came about.Since nudity is there, it should be mentioned that both look quite nice naked. Some people really like nude pictures, and there is a good showing of it, both male and female. It isn't really dirty.

These comments contain spoilers to the movie. You have been warned. I first came upon this movie while channel surfing, and at first I thought I was looking at 'The Blue Lagoon.' I mean, the lead male has curly hair and a muscular physique, and wears a loincloth, and the lead female is skimpily-clad or naked, with long hair. Not only that, but they live in a similar place, and the plot has a lot of the same points in it, right down to the progression of the plot, and specific incidents. But it's not the same movie (thank God).This movie is no worse than The Blue Lagoon, but it's not much better. The only thing that improves it is the more-frequent nudity and the fact that the main characters are better actors. Worth the watch if you're really into "Stranded in Paradise and Falling in Love" movies. Otherwise, you may want to pass on this one.
