The Harlem Globetrotters on Gilligan's Island



Length: 120 Minutes

I've seen this one.

Is it loyal to the book? No book.

Best character: The original characters make a strong showing in this final installment. The Globetrotters themselves are great fun. Everyone else is a little less thrilling.

But is it art? The idea sounds goofy. But the execution was strong enough to make me remember it, this is the first Gilligan's Island I ever saw, but I was enticed enough to come back for more.

Major Flaws: The replacement castaway Thurston Howell IV... you know when it was one of the dozen consistencies in the original series that there was no Howell heir.
