TMDB Rating: 68%

Our Comments: √ 09-30-2023 at our place in Niagara (PS, HS). The checkmark means we own it. This is fun and adventurous movie that we’ve seen a few times since it came out. But as our commitment to moral values has grown over the years, it’s no longer as easy to justify the blatant opening scene of cleavage, the use of the Lord’s name in vain, more profanity, and a steamy sex scene between the main characters. So we can’t give it any more than a 2.5 Clean Rating. It’s certainly not suitable for children or teens. See this link for how clean ratings work. On the merit of the film outside of the noted issues, the movie is slightly dated, but still has a lot to offer in the genres of action and adventure, but the objectionable content the filmakers added was entirely unnecessary. Enjoyment rating: 3 star.

TMDB: “Though she can spin wild tales of passionate romance, novelist Joan Wilder has no life of her own. Then one day adventure comes her way in the form of a mysterious package. It turns out that the parcel is the ransom she’ll need to free her abducted sister, so Joan flies to South America to hand it over. But she gets on the wrong bus and winds up hopelessly stranded in the jungle.”
