Not Tempting Island

I'd like to start this of by saying that when they said it was a remake, they weren't kidding. 

Temptation Island, a Joey Gosiengfiao  film in the 80's that starred four beauty queens; 1975 Mutya ng Pilipinas Miss Photogenic, Azenith Briones, 1978 Binibing Pilipinas - Universe Jennifer Cortez, Miss Maja Pilipinas 1977 Bambi Arambulo and Miss Magnolia 1979 Ist Runner Up Dina Bonnevie. The film is about a group of  finalists of a beauty  stranded in an island without food, water and shelter. ( Source: Here) 

We saw this movie last night and I had the same feeling when I went inside the movie house before and after the movie. This was the first local movie that I have seen this year. 

It was more like this:

When it should've been properly like this:

If I'm really curious about the movie, I should have waited for it to be shown in PBO or Cinema one or any Sunday Late Night movie nights, but not in the movie theater.

Some good points though:

• Rufa Mae Quinto provided good comic relief ( Thank God and good move to producers and Casting Agents!) - this should've been her show.
• Twas a good thing they showed the "before" and "after" during the credits.
• Nice outfits for the ladies.
• Nice copy of the characters from the original version ( like the party girl  in afro).

I just didn't understand why the movie is worth to have a "remake'. We have so many talented young writers with so many new ideas fit for the generation today.
