Alicia I love this movie so much

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

DJAkin As a 32 year old, I grew up with watching Gilligan's Island. By watching this interesting "behind the scenes", I learned a lot. Heck, I never realized that Tina Louise was ashamed of being a part of the series. What a loser! Anyway, this was a lot of fun to watch as was anything but a "scandle" documentary. I was, at first, expecting to see some kind of E The True Hollywood Story. This was, instead, a very tastefully and well done story.

Foggy-7 While seeming like a prospect of "Where are they now?" crossed with "Growing up Brady", this was an inventive format. Narrative with actors for some parts, presentations by the original actors for others, and vox populi for yet other parts, they all blended together to make for a trippy sort of special, especially when the staged narratives used original actors (Dawn Wells at Alan Hale Jr's funeral) and the presentations used the young actors (the questions about the professor getting off the island, why did they have so much clothing?). I won't say much about the actual content, but I was pleasantly surprised at the way they presented it.

slbp_99 This is a great documentary (movie). A great movie for a great TV show. Gilligan's Island will live for ever. IT was very interesting to see what happen behind the cameras and when the film stopped rolling. I hope this comes on video soon. I know I would buy it. A must see for a Gilligan's Island fan. It was cool how they did the real actors and the "fake" actors on this. They made this really good. I would recommend this to any one.

jimboman I caught this last night (10/13/01) and was immediately sucked in. I had seen the ads and thought it was just anther TV movie. I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered that it was a more of a documentary style with the remaining cast (minus Tina Louise who will always be Ginger wether she likes it or not, and she doesn't) moving the story of the show along and doing intros to the recreations of key moments of the show's history. I have no idea how accurate this portrayal is in the history of the show because time always seems to soften memories but the remaining cast seemed to have really loved one another and enjoyed working on the show (with the exception of Tina, of course). I felt that this show was very well done and I am glad that I watched it, even tho I haven't seen an episode of Gilligan's Island in a long long time.
