Featured review
To all the Gilligan's Island Fans out there this is a must see if the 3 seasons of the original t.v. series wasn't enough. This movie however is also a let down after such an irreplaceable classic of such proportions.
One of the main things that caught my attention was the fact that Tina Louise (Ginger) wasn't included in the movie (this was a complete letdown). Although Judith Baldwin was an o.k. look alike (only from certain angles) she tried to hard to be Tina Louise, which really took away from the character. I however will say this it is not easy to replace such a person so good job at doing your best Judith (props to Judith)
Another important aspect as mentioned in another comment is the laugh tracks. These tracks are what help mad Gilligans Island an epic classic which helped in showing the viewers the true comic genius of the classic Gilligans Island.
Another aspect was the way the movies plot was a total letdown. As the castaways try to adjust to the society, their issues are poorly and boringly expressed in what in my opinion are to short and not enough issues to truly show their contempt with society. I however feel the best portrayed was that of the professor (wont tell you how).
I myself find this a good continuation for my fascination with Gilligan's Island after buying the first to seasons and waiting for the third. I see this as a good continuation for my curiosity. Gilligan's Island t.v. series remains untouched (as far as same comic genius is concerned competition wise). I however find this another refreshing clean version of t.v. and movies which gives me hope as a teen in this world that there might be a chance once again for good clean t.v. such of that of Gilligans Island(may it always be remembered).

Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe Rescue from Gilligans Island TV movie was one of the most viewed shows of all time. The made for TV movie scored 52% (30.2) in the Nielson ratings which remains one of the highest ratings of all time for a TV movie.
- GoofsWhile the castaways are standing on the dock being interviewed by the Governor of Hawaii's assistant right after their rescue, the assistant mentions two American Presidents, Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford, and Watergate. The castaways seem not to know who these people or events were, but they did have a working radio on the island, so they should have been entirely familiar with each one of them. However, as mentioned in the beginning by the Professor, the radio had died some years back, so they could've really been out of touch with current affairs all this time.
