Reviewer:Sampi - - August 11, 2007 Subject: Nice to watch once Utopia is a nice old-style movie. The idea that four people strand on an island and establish a new state is quite interesting. However, they fail miserably. Their utopian vision of a state without immigration laws, taxes, money or laws backfires, when prospectors immigrate to exploit the uranium resources of the island. The new immagrants are rude and start a rebellion. In the end, the whole island sinks after a storm.
All in all, the movie is rather simple. The stereotypes and simplicity of the plot makes one feels sent back in time, what I appreciated. It was nice to have watched it once, but I wouldn't watch Utopia again. The jokes are not even slightly funny and the plot is lame. The movie feels a little bit propaganda like. It seems to emanate from a conservative western cold-war point of view.
Reviewer:op712 - - December 14, 2006 Subject: The Boy's finale I have to give this movie 5 stars to give tribute to the boys of comedy even though this film, being their last made together in 1951, just isn't up to their calibre of their classic silent and sound films when they were employeed at the Hal Roach Studios. You can see how the screenwriters just couldn't come up with a story that matches the boy's classic stage and screen personality in as well being filmed by an Italian production company. Film is still worth watching, but don't expect the boys to be at their peak as they were in the Hal Roach days.
