Fanboys will love the spaghetti western and surf soundtrack, and the movie was shot entirely with a handheld cellphone camera. The plot begins innocently enough. We see the Minnow leave the harbor (Though there is an overly weighty backstory involving the skipper and exactly why he refers to Gilligan as "Lil buddy") but within the first 10 minutes the profanity begins. (This movie may very well set a new record for the amount of times an F-Bomb is dropped. It's "F-ing this" and "F-ing that" for the next two hours.) Gilligan, (brilliantly portayed by an unrecognizeable John Travolta) we soon discover, was an interrogator at Guatanamo Bay, who specialzed in waterboarding and Koran flushing prior to his employement on the Minnow. Withing the first 1/2 hour there are no less then 3 excruciating torture scenes involving Gilligan trying to get the professor to admit he made up the whole global warming thing, and that there really won't be any rogue wave that will wipe them from the island. These are not scenes for the weak-stomached. Next, there is a 25 minute scene involving Maryanne and Ginger discussing the true meaning of the song, "white Rabbit". (They end up agreeing that it is basically about Grace Slick's visit to the Doctor, and her subsequent confusion about which pills she was supposed to take for her angina, and which one for her goiter). Next we have another torture scene, this one involving a hot potato, tennis ball machine, and features a cameo appearance by that one dude from the Jerky Boys, Johnny Brennan. After the torture scene, we skip to a cave scene were Gilligan uses the F word 38 times in rapid succession. Eventually the professor (Steve Buscemi) joins in and says "Shit" 48 more times. Finally, the movies reaches a climax in a detailed beating scene where Ginger punches Ms. Howell in the face 63 times, (while more surf music is playing)and then stabs her 9 times until she is dead. Her last words are "Fuck", and then the credits start rolling. All in all, probably one of the greatest films ever made!
