This is How Movies Should Be Made

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

I generally like a lot of the TV reunion movies I've seen but the three Gilligan's Island ones are among the best. However this one stands out compared to the previous two. Rescue from Gilligan's Island and The Castaway's on Gilligan's Island don't do as good a job recapturing the fun of the original series and Judith Baldwin was an inferior Ginger. This movie has it all, from plenty of slapstick bumbling from Gilligan to a Ginger almost as good as Tina Louise. As you can guess from the title this movie features the Harlem Globetrotters. Their plane crashes while on the way to a game and they are forced to stay at the Castaways' resort until the outside world can be alerted. In one scene the gang challenges the globetrotters to a game and get clobbered as you would expect. Meanwhile evil J.J. Pierson tries to swindle the gang out of the island so he can use the supremium on the island to take over the world.

I decided to tape this movie because it was Gilligan's Island and I remember watching it heaps when I was a kid. Later I found out that this was the third attempt to resurrect the series from the grave. Gilligan's Island may have been a good series, but sometimes things should just remain dead, as with this.In the previous movies, the castaways were rescued and then turned the island into a resort. Now they are running the resort under the management of the Howard's (the rich couple) son. One of the cast has been replaced and the wealthy man does not appear until the end of the movie.This movie is actually quite dull and boring. The Harlem Globetrotters crashland on the island and become welcome guests while a mad scientist is trying to buy the island off the castaways for its rich deposit of supremium (a uranium rip off). The movie culminates in a basketball game between robots and the Harlem Globetrotters in which the Globetrotters manage to win through the use of their funky moves.The movie is really quite dull. Though it does invoke a couple of laughs (such as the Globetrotters rescuing their basketballs from the wreckages) most of it really falls flat. Though I cannot remember what the characters were like in the original, in this movie they seemed to really over act (especially Ginger, who is supposed to be a movie star). In the end, the series may have originally been good, but the attempted resurrection falls flat on its face.

The Harlem Globtrotters crash land on Gilligan's Island. Compared to this, the original series seems almost intelligent.That said this is truly one of the worst things you could imagine seeing.This thing should be shown in prison to violent offenders serving life sentences. When they get finished watching this they will ask for the death penalty instead.If you have anything else to do, and I mean anything, do it besides watching this.Wow. If you were to teach a class on bad movies, this is the one to show.

I think this is a really cool Movie and I think it should come back on tv again so people can see it. I think it will be nice if TV Land Channel should have it on like for a weekend. Thanks for listening and please get it on tv again...
