I don’t really know how to rate this movie. I’m happy that Jean-Claude Van Damme finally had a different role than usual. It’s a welcome change when he’s with different actors and a different director. I also don’t think he was there as scarcely as other reviewers claim. But on the other hand, this movie was a bunch of hokum. Sure, I must admit that I had a laugh here and there, but overall, it was more of a hokum than a comedy. I’m still contemplating whether to give it two or three stars because Megan Boone was pretty hot.

JCVD is just great and comedy suits him quite well. He overacts, but honestly, I don't really mind. I love him in this film. The story is nonsense, a silly variation of Lord of the Flies, but it doesn't matter at all because it's funny at times. The characters are tolerable, even though the film itself is sometimes unbearable. Still, I give it an above-average rating because with JCVD, I can easily overlook its flaws.
