the leading man (Paul) was horribly miscast
I'm sorry folks but the movie went downhill after the great first hour when they went to the island and both fell in love with a cross between Kermit the Frog, Gonzo the Great, and Ghandi.
shareLOL. Ok, I have to agree that Paul was a noob, but the chemistry between Theresa and Debra was great. I kept thinking that the two of them were going to hop into bed together. Paul was just a bystander. He was not pivotal to the story. The guy who plays Paul must have been one of the producers or something, because I have no idea why they would cast someone who looked like that. Furthermore, his idea of putting a hotel within walking distance to an active volcano is ridiculous. Who in the world would want to be in a place with noxious gasses, horrible rumblings and the possibility of being burned alived by lava????
The story, to me, is about the Theresa and Debra characters, the passions and obsessions that led them together.

I agree! When I was on Kauai I met many, many more attractive men who would have made a more perfect Paul! Even the darling cop standing at the door of Shin's office would have made a more believable Paul!
... I admire a person that's willing to do whatever is necessary.
I doubt they wanted some show-pony jock who looked like an out of work TV actor playing Paul, I actually think the casting was good in that Paul didn't take the spotlight off the two women.

When I first saw this film, and on a few subsequent viewings, I was disappointed the role wasn't played by a bigger star...or someone I just found "weightier" and more charismatic, somehow.
Today, suddenly, watching it 5 years later, I was like, "Jeez, Paul is YUMMY!"
Maybe they cast someone kind of middle-of-the-road in that part because from what we're shown, all of Catharine's husbands have been a little dependent, or at least not conventionally dashing. If her marks were devastatingly gorgeous and assured, with tons of women throwing themselves at them hourly, maybe they'd have no need of her. She has to entrance them.

the dude who played that cop looked like he was 13, lol. now HE was probably related to one of the producers.
