The screenplay was written by Michael Browning. It was filmed on location in Kauai and released on June 12, 1998. The main character of this movie is named Robin and it is very curious because she finds herself on a desert island in company with the pilot Quinine, who had to catch her to Tahiti like Robinson.
Their romantic story is at the heart of this movie. There two other characters who connect with the main two – Frank and Angelica.
So there are two men characters – Frank and Quinine, and two women characters – Robin and Angelica. And such a set of characters is thought of as an antagonistic one.
Sweetie Frank on the beginning of the story is Robin’s boyfriend. On first sight Frank is very romantic person. But it is deceptive conclusion. He is very pragmatic one, he is very gentle person, weak and dependent of company he gets on. His vision of life is stereotypical and that’s why he can’t understand that there is no different for lovers to be on tropical island or office when they love each other. His antagonist – Quinine do understand it. The dialog between Quinine and Robin when he says: They come here looking for "the magic,” expecting to find romance...when they can't find it any other place. It's an island, babe. If you don't bring it here, you won't find it here; is the keynote, main message of this movie.
So Quinine is rude, cynic, but the brave person and he had some sorrowful story on his past life.
Frank seems to live in an illusory world where everything happens on time and place it has to – like in movies – for example, he sure that engagement has to estate on a such a romantic place like the island he took his girlfriend on.
Quinine overcomes his best friend sell out and heartbreak that is why he found a better way of life, “Came out here, got a nice, little house on a beautiful beach. Got his plane. Doing what he wants to do. Got peace and quiet”.
Quinine throws out the comforts of the big world where women wanted men who weren't afraid to cry, who were in touch with their feminine side (like Frank is).
Robin is very decisive and conscientious person but while living in the big town she is treating with modern aberrations that’s why Frank is her boyfriend. But when she is caught on the desert island with Quinine she tells him that women like men mean and armed, all the more so when they're being chased by pirates (it is another detail of their adventure).
Eventually, the adventure helps both of them to understand what they want indeed. Quinine realizes that his broken heart can love again and Robin understands that she wants to be with some real men not with a sweetie infantile person, who gives you away in severities.
So six days and seven nights on the desert island rock the world of the main character of this movie - They fall in love with each other. They get a chance to meet each other and have an opportunity to crush their common-and-garden vision of life while stemming difficulties. They succeeded in making out of each other, they managed to get a sight of themselves. Lugowska

There's damn few movies that I can watch more than once. This is one. You actually can identify with the characters, more than one of the characters.
