Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With soft box office and little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Right up the alley of fans of a well-timed joke and adventure lovers. A good one for when you want to be swept off somewhere else. Liked Toy Story 5 or Moana? This is a good next one.
The mood: Light and funny, feel-good.
The pace: Lively and easy to follow, at 1 hr 53 min.
What might put you off: Made in 1966: an older pace and style.
Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.

Lt. Robin Crusoe is a navy pilot who bails out of his plane after engine trouble. He reaches a deserted island paradise where he builds a house and begins to adjust to life. He is in for trouble however when a local girl is banished to the island by her father, who then comes after Crusoe.
