MartinHafer A planeload of incredibly stupid beauty contestants crashes on an island and lots of movie genres are spoofed in this film. If you fond films like "Disaster Movie", "Epic Movie" and "Meet the Spartans" too intellectually challenging, then I have a movie suggestion for you! "Miss Castaway and the Island Girls" is a spoof with non-stop humor(?) and is very similar to these other films--but the budget is significantly lower and the jokes are even dumber (yes, apparently this IS possible!). However, in defense of "Miss Castaway", it cost less to make and at least didn't make young adults significantly stupider--as no one went to see this film (whereas, inexplicably, the other three were well attended--which seems to prove that the apocalypse is real and imminent). I also would say that although the film is totally awful, it....no, wait...there's nothing more to say...the film is just terrible. Now considering the cast of mostly no-names and fourth-rate stars and faded stars, this is no huge surprise. With the likes of Eric Roberts (who used to be famous), this isn't a surprise--nor is it a surprise with guest spots by the like of Stuart Pankin, Pat Morita, Jerry Lewis and Bernie Kopell and, interestingly, Michael Jackson.So why did I watch this banal film? Well, I have a confession to make. I occasionally like a terrible film. Considering I have reviewed hundreds or perhaps thousands of art films, foreign films and documentaries, sometimes I just need a good laugh--and a bad movie can be funny. No, the jokes aren't funny---but laughing at how incredibly bad a film can be is good for a laugh. This film, not surprisingly, is on IMDb's infamous Bottom 100 list, I HAD to see it! So, if you WANT to see a terrible film, give this one a watch--it's funny in a brainless way and is great for a group of friends to watch and laugh at some minor ex-stars self-destruct. Plus, it makes no pretense--it doesn't try to be anything more than dumb--and I can appreciate that.

da_flipboy Do the following: Get a copy of this movie and a friend. Wager the friend $10 that they can't sit through this entire movie. They cannot divert their gaze or be distracted by anything. Now watch your friend. Win or lose, you get $10 of entertainment.It angers me to no end when people see a movie and are quick to give it 1 out of 10, or sum up their thoughts with "it sucked". (And when asked "Why?", they respond, "Just because." Arrgh.) That is why this movie exists. It's sole purpose is for me to say, "There! THIS is a horrible movie! THAT is 1 out of 10!".This movie is absolutely appalling.While the recent trend of movie parodies has forced them to become increasingly formulaic, this movie falls short in every single aspect. It's not funny. It's not entertaining. And for some of the parodies, it's completely inaccurate! Horrible acting. Unfunny dialogue. A witless story. Terrible "special effects". One INANE gag after another. And to make matters even worse, there isn't even gratuitous nudity to somehow make it even fleetingly worthwhile.This movie leaps past idiotic, stumbles over stupid, and lands face first on moronic. Even I, who loves a good "check your brain at the door" movie, found myself physically agitated watching this. This movie isn't even "Hard Ticket To Hawaii" so-terrible-it's-good bad... IT'S JUST BAD.NOTE: I actually challenged a friend to watch this as described above. Not only couldn't he make it all the way through, but he had a headache and needed a couple minutes afterward because he felt a little ill. True story.I could not accentuate this rating any more... a resounding 1 out of 10!

robcat2075 "Miss Cast Away" is an amusing trifle, which dispenses with serious plot or character development to pack in as many gags as possible. Best enjoyed with a large audience that is open to such entertainments and perhaps, has had a few drinks. Most of the jokes are current-event based so in future years this film may become a time-capsule of turn-of-the-21st-century pop culture references.The 30i to 24p conversion of the footage does create a jerky appearance in some parts, most noticeably the opening aerial shots.The appearance of Micheal Jackson is indeed a strange non-sequiter event. But I, for one, find it encouraging that Mr. Jackson has shown a helpful interest in one of his protégés even after he (the director) has passed from the cute-preteen-boy stage.The effects work is not as bad as one review suggested. Most of it was done by a one-man crew in a brief span of time consisting of animator William Sutton, whose name seems to have been omitted from the IMDb credits. His work is an extraordinary achievement and really helps to fill in the gaps in this movie. I hope he's finally been paid!

ronrocks92 Okay, I think we're all agreed that Michael Jackson was the low point.And the special effects too. But, please, keep in mind that this was NOT a big-budget film, okay? Not every film gets as much of a budget as Harry Potter or Star Wars.However, I thought it was pretty funny altogether. B-? Nothing that would, in my opinion, waste your time.Parodies are always fun to watch, and just because it wasn't big budget doesn't mean it's bad.I think this was a good movie, if weak at some points.Hope this comment helps. ~Angela
