Fantasy Island started off slow and became a fairly solid movie towards the last half. Early on I wasn’t bonding with the characters — it felt forced and really fake at first glance. But then they stepped up the game.
Once we were thoroughly into the story, and we’d learned a thing or two about the characters, it got much better. (A little over half-way.) They threw a few twists out and I started paying a little more attention. Then they went and threw another curve ball, and they had me. I had to know what was going to happen because I thought I already had it figured out.
The acting was all fairly even across the board; no one fell flat, but no one really shined. It’s a solid rental movie: I can’t endorse the full movie price, but it’s worth the time to watch it at home.

I do have to add that the final scene was most definitely the best scene. That one got a laugh out of me.
Grade: C+
About The Peetimes: I have 2 solid Peetimes for you. I did not get any during the last half, due to the fact that the movie has many surprises that are all linked together. If you miss any part of the last half, you’ll struggle to catch up.
What people are saying
about the RunPee app.
Brilliant idea with great information
I’ve been using RunPee for a few years now and it’s basically a requirement of going to the movies for me. The best part of course are the “pee times” that give you cues, synopses and times for when you can pee without missing the most important parts of the movie. There is also information about the credits- length, extras and if there are any extra scenes at the wayyy end. Super helpful to just know that it is or isn’t worth staying. There is a timer function that will buzz your phone when it’s a good time to pee. I also appreciate that the app is very conscientious about it being an app you use in a theater- dark background, all silent alarms etc. I will always enjoy the experience of the theater even if I could watch things at home- but I’ve even used it at home to check for things like after credit scenes or other information too.

RunPee.com owes RunPee Sis a huge debt of gratitude. She sees any movie needed with no complaints and has done so for ten years (even basing Thanksgiving and Christmas family festivities around the seeing films). In 2015 Sis ran the entire RunPee enterprise herself, while RunPee Dan, Jilly and Mom went traipsing off to Europe. Sis is the spider in the web holding the RunPee family together — besides being a funny, well rounded person, and a joyous pleasure to be around. Her favorite films start and end with horror (which thank goodness she’s happy to see, since most of us don’t have the stomach for it) — but also likes silly comedies, sad dramas, and musicals of all types. If you’ve used a Peetime for a scary film, you probably have RunPee Sis to thank for it.
Favorite movie genre: Horror, horror, and more horror. The more disturbing, the better. Period.
