I do like comedy and I do like spoof movies, but when I saw Miss Cast Away online I found myself loathing every second of it. It is not as monstrous as the likes of Disaster Movie or Epic Movie, but it is a long way from being a Galaxy Quest or a Young Frankenstein.The film does look cheap. The scenery is not striking and looks more like tacky studio sets, while the editing is rushed and the special effects are some of the worst I've seen in a while, and that is including the Jaws like shark.As for the story, was there even a story? Seemed like a series of disconnected and witless scenes, and the basic idea was predictable and unoriginal. The humour was painful; the jokes are incredibly forced and timed really poorly while the writing and dialogue are insipid and unfunny.The characters are clichéd and none of them are likable in any way. The direction is incompetent, the soundtrack is poorly used and the film is rushed in the pace and dull in how unfunny it all is. The acting is dreadful, the actresses are the epitome of all looks no talent, Eric Roberts phones in, Michael Jackson's appearance was both disturbing and useless and I don't know what Charlie Schlatter(who is a decent actor) was doing here.Overall, awful and doesn't work on any level. 1/10 Bethany Cox

This is a film that revolves around two mysteries (which I have now demystifed).First, did the film makers understand the concept of 'parody' before using it to carpet bomb the audience throughout the film? Parody is when a reproduction attempts to mock, comment on, or pay homage through self-depreciating humour to, the original work. In other words, there should be reasons to parody such work, and they should definitely be clever. I didn't see any of those in the film. I did see some awful 10 seconds jokes that fell flat within 2 seconds of delivery. Bryan Stoller probably went to Eric Roberts and said "hey, I was drunk last night, watching Survivors, and had this brain fart for a straight to DVD release. I want you on board without reading the script...because I plan to direct this film without one!" And herein lies the second mystery: Eric Robert's career. I use to think Eric Roberts had the career he had because he was unlucky. Now I realize it's because he is stupid (and therefore deserves the career that he had). After watching this movie, it is apparent that he would have been better off had he gone into mainstream adult films, which has higher budgets, more...intense...scenes and roles, better acting and direction, more elaborate and compelling plot lines, and a much wider audience than this B-movie reject (C-movie?).

I don't understand why this movie has such a low rating. It totally deserves more! Sure, it's completely ridiculous, but that's what it was supposed to be. Don't expect cinematic transcendence from a movie about beauty pageant contestants stranded on a Caribbean island! What you should expect is a huge spoof of pretty much every relevant sci-fi, fantasy and block-buster movie in cinematic history, and even references to other spoofers. All completely exaggerated and sometimes totally unnecessary, but that's exactly what makes this movie stand out. If you like parodies, and enjoy say, Leslie Nielsen or Mike Myers, you're gonna love this. I sure did!

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!
