Paradise is a 1982 English language romance and adventure film starring Phoebe Cates and Willie Aames, written and directed by Stuart Gillard. The original music score was composed by Paul Hoffert.
It was critiqued at the time as a "knockoff" of the more-famous The Blue Lagoon (1980). The film was marketed with the tagline "If Only It Could Have Been Forever...Paradise...No Two People Have Ever Come So Close."
The films' themes were similar: Two young people find themselves abandoned in a world with no adult supervision, in fact no other people anywhere. Thus they have total freedom, inevitably learning all about love and reproduction, as well as basic survival techniques.
Leonard Maltin's annual Movie Guide book describes it this way: "Rating: star and a half. Silly Blue Lagoon ripoff, with Aames and Cates discovering sex while stranded in the desert. Both, however, do look good sans clothes." Upon its release, when reviewed on the show "Sneak Previews", Roger Ebert selected it as his "Dog of the Week", the worst film he saw that week and heavily berated it.
"Paradise (Not for Me)" is a song by American singer Madonna from her 2000 album Music and Mirwais Ahmadzaï's album Production.
