superb...................
this film is superb. Marsha Robinson (played by Dyan Cannon) is a famous TV personality, and has her own lifestyle and cooking show.
Together with her husband Doug (played by Martin Mull), a dentist, her daughter Jane (played by Sarah Michelle Gellar) and her son Roger (played by Ryan O'Donohue) she lives in Beverly Hills.
Marsha's TV show takes her and her family to Hawaii. When the Robinsons arrive in Honolulu, their yacht is captured by 'modern pirates' at night and when they wake up in the morning they find themselves and their unwanted guests on the open sea. But being the Robinsons they trick the pirates and leave them behind in a lifeboat.
When things finally seemed to be getting back on track. The Robinsons try to sail to the next harbour, but the yacht gets into a storm and the family gets shipwrecked on a deserted island.
Marsha Robinson - is a socialite - and freaks out and threatens her husband with a nervous breakdown, if they aren't saved within the next 45 minutes, and the rest of the family are not to pleased about their situation either.
But nobody saves them and nobody knows where they are. So there's nothing to do but settle in, survive and build a tree house.
Life on the island turns into routine, although Marsha films herself while giving statements about her family's miserable situation after the shipwreck - just in case they'll be saved and she has footage for TV shows.
Meanwhile the pirates have been stranded on the island, too, which the Robinsons do not know. The island is also inhabited, by a shipwrecked surfer named Digger, who secretly eats all of Marsha's chocolates. The Robinsons get to know him when Doug has an underwater-accident and needs to be saved by a good swimmer. Jane falls in love with him. He helps the Robinsons finish their treehouse and becomes a member of the family.
The pirates discover the Robinsons and now the Robinsons need to struggle with the unwanted guests once again.
will they get the better of the pirates? Watch the film to find out. -

1977?!?
Sarah Michelle Gellar was born in 1977 so, if this film was really made in that year (as it says above), she was doing well!
