Three (15)

AS I left this screening, the cinema foyer PA was playing The Drifters singing: 'Saturday night at the movies, who cares what picture we see...'.

It summed up this adventure perfectly, since the many viewers who often make random selections at the box office are likely to outnumber those who see this on purpose.

A 95-minute story about three people stranded on a desert island is nothing new, so having a script this silly won't help its chances never mind the woeful acting and stupid voodoo flashbacks orchestrated by director Stewart Raffill.

But it's all perfectly watchable despite itself and it's not quite as bad as Guy Ritchie's risible Madonna tragedy, Swept Away.

Titanic's Billy Zane (Jack) and little-known Argentinian Juan Pablo Di Pace (Manuel) provide plenty of beef-cake for the ladies.

And anyone eager to see voluptuous 26-year-old Kelly Brook stripping off or wearing little more than a white bikini won't be in the least bit disappointed with her sub-Crossroads' performance.
