Perhaps if you've read Wendy Orr's children's book this kids movie about an island-dwelling girl, her father missing at sea, and a San Franciscan author of adventure novels who overcomes neuroses to come to the girl's rescue, doesn't seem so inane, but if you haven't, the movie is a not very interesting jumble of disparate details including a volcano, Doctor Doolittle animals that all but talk, Australian tourists, fantasy muses, and caricatures, not characters, with Jodie Foster's Alexandra Rover, for one, stumbling about in a mackintosh hat like Paddington Bear.
