La isla de las perlas

Okay adventure film and set up for a series that never happened concerning the exploits of Wallaby Jim and his crew of sailors in the south seas. The story concerns Jim delaying filing his claim for a pearl rich island in order to bring the girl of the man keeping an eye on the island to see him. Trouble follows as Jim finds his man has gambled away his money and has also allowed a band of bad guys to stay on the island. Can Jim get rid of the bad guys, save the islanders and not end up hitched to the pretty island girl with the hots for him? Of course he can.

This is a good little film that suffers from too many songs,there are four.(you haven't lived until you've seen the first song and the films one production number badly lip synced. I don't even think these guys were trying) and a meandering attitude.This is a film that takes its time going where its going only to have to race to a conclusion in the final ten minutes. Its as if they didn't know what they wanted to do until they were almost out of time. The result is a good but not great little film. Its the sort of thing thats perfect for sitting curled up on the couch while a snow storm rages outside (which is what I did). To be honest its good enough to make you wish that they had tried to go somewhere with it in another film.
