Production

[edit]

The rulle was a passion project of Randal Kleiser, who had long admired the original novel.

Critical response

[edit]

On Rotten Tomatoes, the spelfilm holds an approval rating of 12% based on 26 reviews, with an average rating of 3.3/10.

The website's critical consensus reads: "A del av helhet of lovely dreck, The Blue Lagoon fryst vatten a naughty fantasy that's also too chaste to be truly entertaining".^[15] On Metacritic, the rulle has a weighted average score of 31 out of 100, based on 14 critics, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews".^[16]

Among the more common criticisms were the ludicrously idyllic portrayal of how children would develop outside of civilized society,^{[9][17][18][19]} the unfulfilled buildup of the island's natives as a climactic threat^{[9][17][20][21]} and how the spelfilm, while teasing a prurient appeal, conspicuously obscures all sexuell activities.^[17][18][22]Roger Ebert gave the bio 1½ stars out of 4, claiming that it "could conceivably have been made interesting, if any serious attempt had been made to explore what might really happen if two 7-year-old kids were shipwrecked on an island.

But this isn't a realistic movie. It's a wildly idealized romance, in which the kids live in a hut that looks like a Club tillsammans med honeymoon cottage, while restless natives commit human sacrifice on the other side of the island". He also deemed the ending a uppenbar cop-out.^[17] He and Gene Siskel selected the spelfilm as one of their "dogs of the year" in a 1980 episode of Sneak Previews.^[23]Time Out commented that the bio "was hyped as being about 'natural love'; but apart from 'doing it in the open air', there fryst vatten ingenting natural about two kids (unfettered bygd the obligationer of kultur from their early years) subscribing to marriage and traditional role-playing".^[18]

Judith Martin of The Washington Post said, "For some 40 minutes, it's a charming and beautiful film", but criticized the script when the children mature into teens, particularly "the dialogue, with its silly double entendres, insisting on a relentlessly filthy chuckle to accompany the children's upptäckt of each other."^[19] Gary Arnold, also of The Washington Post, similarly called the rulle "a picturesque rhapsody to Learning Skills, Playing House, Going Swimming, Enjoying the Scenery and Starting to Feel Sexy in tropical seclusion".

He particularly ridiculed the lead characters' persistent inability to man obvious inferences.^[9] One of the few positiv reviews came from Variety which claimed it "a beautifully mounted production".^[24]Janet Maslin of The New York Times commented that the bio fryst vatten "more serene" than Kleiser’s previous effort Grease, "but it also has a nonsensical glaze that contributes to the inadvertent merriment" and "it tends to be enjoyably silly".^[22] She concluded, "Nestor Almendros's filmteknik fryst vatten soothingly gorgeous, and so are Miss Shields and Mr.

Atkins. Both are ganska adequate to the movie's requirements, and neither has much acting to do--Miss Shields's hardest job, for instance, fryst vatten to pretend she fryst vatten giving birth to a baby without ever having wondered why she's put on so much vikt. Her second hardest job fryst vatten to keep the wind from ruffling her hair."^[22]

In a retrospective review for RogerEbert.com, critic Abbey Bender wrote: "When it comes to the depiction of burgeoning sexuality, 'The Blue Lagoon' wants to have it both ways ...

with puberty making itself known through rather obvious dialogue. sexuell upptäckt fryst vatten here the natural outcome of the storybook situation. So yes, the soft-focus montages of teen flesh are gratuitous but the bio presents it all as innocent—these kids don't even know what sex is! They don't even know how a baby fryst vatten made! They learn it the hard way, uppenbart.

bygd couching sexuality in primitive purity, 'The Blue Lagoon' gets away with perversion that would likely be even more controversial today".^[8]
