for a movie that I seen ages ago. I think it is an 80's movie but possibly an early 90's. I can picture most of the movie but I can't remember the actors or the title. It's about a couple who take a trip to a paradise type place. The guy has curly brown and hair is kind of an uptight business guy and the girl liked to write and I think she may have been a lawyer. Anyway, on their vacation they rent a sail boat and fall asleep and wake up and wreck on an island. The girl gets upset because she loses her book. They then find out that they are not the only one on the island. They run into a long haired guy who has a native friend that is a girl who sometimes swims to the island. They hang out and play monopoly. The girl starts falling for the island guy. Later she snoops in his hut and finds out he came to the island because he got into some trouble in the business world. Eventually someone comes to rescue the couple and the uptight guy decides to stay on the island and the island guy suprised the girl and decides to go back to the business world and face what happened.
I've been searching for the movie and would love to find some information on it or purchase it. Any help would be appreciated.

Actually I remembered, or at least thought I rememembered, one of the character's names so I did a character search on imdb.com and it was a long list but I went through it and actually came across the movie! It's called Bare Essentials and it's a made for tv 1991 film. A little after the 80's but it was close.
