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.
