Surviving Gilligan's Island: The Incredibly True Story of the Longest Three Hour Tour in History (2001)
Very well crafted and funny. Original and refreshing direction.
Bravo to the people behind this production. It is original and told in high style. The short movies within this movie were funny, interesting and extremely well crafted. It's not your typical behind-the-scenes movie. It wasn't what I expected. It was much better.
The movie has Dawn Wells, Bob Denver and Russell Johnson (who all look great)doing wrap arounds. They introduce unknown stories that happened to them and the other Gilligan cast members before, during and after the show aired in 1964.
Dwayne Hickman is really well cast as the CBS Network Executive.
Paul A. Kaufman's direction is tight and original. His visual style is what really holds this film together. Duane Poole's script is funny and refreshing.
Other tech credits are solid with beautiful photography.
