Acting: 4.0; Theme: 4.5; Content: 4.5; Language: 4.5; Overall: 4.0
A young, washed up thirty-one year old television star is hired to sell his failing show to a group of landowners on the Cayman Islands so that a wealthy business man can open a resort on the small community island. As he begins to learn more about the history and background of the island, he has second thoughts about his mission. Recommend.
There are one or two scenes in which there is a little sexual inuendo and two uses of show more vulgarity toward the end of the film. The acting was good.

Two young boys (Roger; Josh Paddock; Travis; Bug Hall) are sent off by their parents (Peter; Greg Evigan; Bonnie; Julie Hagerty) to stay with their grandfather (Bill; Ernest Borgnine) in a sleepy town in Washington. They discover the legend of Swanny Lake when they see their grandfather talking to his tortoise friend, Mel.
The acting in this one was very under par from my estimation. There were at least 3-4 uses of vulgarity show more along with some disrespectful moments from the children to their parents and grandparent.

2021 movie #173. 1964. Ding (Darren) is a spoiled rich college kid trying to get into the pants of studious Sandy (Tiffin). Bad music and not enough surfing. Denver and Louise went right to "Gilligan's Island" after this. Nancy Sinatra's first movie. The title was a Pepsi slogan.
