Comments:
Now
that Nicole Kidman is a full fledged international
star her early films have become accessible to her
fans. I love her early work; her brash and spunky
Aussie attitude gives this tall perfect beauty an
edge. Here she plays a music video queen who is courted
by a business executive who's passion is windsurfing.
The script has elements of "Flashdance,"
"Cocktail," and other films that could have
only been made in the eighties. Though the action
scenes are clumsy (and boring) and the comedy sometimes
juvenile, as a romantic date movie it delivers. The
relationship between Kidman and Burlinson (who look
like Barbie and Ken) is cute and their romance innocent
(Burlinson shows up to a late night music session
courting Kidman with tuxedo and flowers). Both are
perfectly cast and believable in their roles. Kidman
gives a wonderful performance and looks as gorgeous
as Australia itself. Brief nudity and mild language.
If you like windsurfing, Nicole Kidman, and a wholesome
romance you've found the right film.
