Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: Because they used their shorts to make a robe, they are all naked, but when Dan swims out to look for Michelle, it's clear that he's wearing shorts. A second later, and in the same scene, he's not.

Quotes:

James: Our daughter is scarred for life. She'll either grow up to be oddly attracted to Popeye, or a lesbian.

Don't let IMDb ratings keep you from watching this one

I was entertained from start to finish. Had I come to IMDb and seen the rating of 5 I might have skipped it, but I saw the movie before I came here- lesson learned and advice to others. It's fast paced and there is always something happening. I really was not bored at all during any part of the movie. There are many things I can criticize about this movie, and I can understand the points other posters have made, but the bottom line is that it's just a movie. It's how I passed a couple of hours this Sunday night and that's all. When I want real excitement all I have to do is open the paper and read about all the crazy things happening in the world. So, I enjoyed it and I recommend it to others who like these kinds of movies.
