Kathy, Kathy, Kathy Ireland, what are you doing to me! That voice, that's not possible! Imagine the most annoying squeaky voice and multiply the annoyance factor by two. Then you'll get an idea of what I mean. It ruins the entire movie, which apart from that wasn't very good.

An initially heavily bespectacled Kathy Ireland, who is getting hotter by the minute, squeaks her way through a world that is a kind of mix of Mad Max and Labyrinth, looking for her father and a healthy dose of adventure. It probably doesn't sound bad, but in reality it is very annoying and long-winded, although the decoration is fine.

1.5*.

Kathy Ireland.

A pretty girl - and not only that she looks very pleasant, but also from a business point of view. Reportedly one of the richest former supermodels, and mainly because she has been clever with the licensing of her beautiful face. And with many thanks to Kmart, who apparently were happy to cooperate - and undoubtedly also with thanks to the Dutch tax system, because it is particularly interesting for avoiding taxes on license income.

As an actress she's not doing too bad either. Well, with one caveat, because that voice makes you long for a German dubbed version. Whether that is her real voice or whether it was tricked especially for the film is completely irrelevant to me.

In pictures it all looks nice, and the poster is also very nice and promising - what strikes me is that the jeans had holes that were way too big for the standards of the time, instead of the scuffs that you were supposed to have at the time. . But it would fit right in with current fashion.

What kills the film is mainly the story. Absolutely silly and nowhere interesting - a completely failed combination of a story for toddlers and adult actors. You can use the film as a kind of aquarium DVD, but with the sound and subtitles off. You shouldn't expect more than that.
