It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

ISLE OF DESTINY is a B-movie type thriller about an aviatrix, played with relish by June Lang, who gets entangled in the schemes of a criminal boss and who ends up crash-landing her plane on a Pacific island as a result. This movie has quite a deal of incident but much of it is low rent, with a sluggish pace instead of excitement and a general paint-by-numbers feel.The cast is a good one and the actors certainly put in the right effort. However, this movie doesn't really know what it wants to be. It celebrates female independence and spirit on the one hand but then dates things with the jungle girl character attacking people with a blow dart, who feels like she belongs in a Tarzan flick. Otherwise it's a distinctly average movie.
