When widow Sarah Hargrave washes ashore on a tropical island with her daughter and adopted son, she learns how to survive and raise the two children on her own. After her death, the kids -- Lilli and Richard -- are forced to continue their uncivilized lives without any parental guidance, and, as they enter young adulthood, they begin to fall in love. Their Eden-like existence is threatened, however, when outsiders arrive on the island.

Critics Consensus

Despite its lush tropical scenery and attractive leads, Return to the Blue Lagoon is as ridiculous as its predecessor, and lacks the prurience and unintentional laughs that might make it a guilty pleasure.

2/5

Graham paints a picture of love that is tediously sexist. One for pervs and frustrated holidaymakers only.

1/4

The travelogue-style photography is soothing, the bodies are pretty and the music isn't offensive, but feature-length movies can't survive on the ingredients for a standard airline commercial.

Things are pretty much the same for the semi-nude kids in this movie as they were for the semi-nude kids in the first Blue Lagoon.

2/10

Director Graham opts to virtually remake a film that was widely disparaged by critics, again presenting visualizations of puberty with a controversially youthful cast.

1/5

A textbook example of a disaster that amazingly manages not only to contain bad acting and an appalling script, but also some of the most unconvincing love scenes ever committed to film.

A little less traumatic than the first film, but it's basically the same film.

They essentially made the same movie again.
