Three questions arise in my mind when watching this movie, "What?", "Why?" and "How come this in not over yet?"
There are random things happening all through the movie that make you wonder what the heck is going on. One or two unexplained things, sure, but there are so many of these random events that it makes your head spin. When you finally figure out what is going on (is it joke, or actually part of the plot?) the next question is why, why is this nonsensical thing happening? It's completely ridiculous.
I figure it out at the end, all the weird stuff going on is part of some subplot or other, and they do actually tie all of them up in the end (in a haphazard and untidy fashion but still) but the problem is that there is no main plot, only subplot, the end result is a nearly unwatchable mess.
To top it all off there is a large amount of unfunny jokes thrown in here and there, much like in Epic Movie, which is not a good thing. The only reason I give this 2/10 instead of 1/10 is the laughable green screen effects, they are much funnier than the jokes.

This movie just makes quick jokes about everything from like 1990-2000 but none of it really works. I liked that it was silly and nothing was taken serious, that's why 2 stars instead of one.
But the other half of it is that it needs to use a parody of something specific as a jumping off point at least. This is just anything and everything but then the vast majority of the jokes just don't work.
The cast was actually doing what they could I thought. But half the punch lines are 'remember this thing in the 90s? It uhhh...it existed.' And that's about it.
The general premise of a castaway spoof sounds good but that has nothing to do with anything really. Eric Roberts showed up and hugged on bikini clad women and got paid so he's actually having a pretty good time here.
So it's free on tubi and even then it's not worth the time for the most part. I mean it starts with a disclaimer of how it's bad on purpose and then a message from the directors mom. That should prob say eveeyrhing...

To avoid any misunderstanding, this movie is bad. But I am undecided if it really deserves to be on the bottom 100 list. Trying to be unbiased, there is a little more credit to it than 1/10. First, the plot is not predictable. It has many twists - admittably hilaroious twists, but you cannot argue that it is completely boring. Second, the actors all knew they were not to be taken seriously. They tried to be goofy and were not complete failures at that ...maybe with the exception of Michael Jackson who somehow seems serious about his role. But his cameo does not really change the movie. And finally, the pictures and costumes are pleasing to a certain degree. Even the CGI could be considered adequate for a spoof. Bottom line, I have seen worse than this, and was not in danger of falling asleep while watching.
