I accidentally stumbled across this unbelievably bad movie on a Saturday, and at first I thought it was some bad satire. It wasn't even good enough to be bad satire. Please don't waste your time. These people should be held accountable for putting out such trash to waste people's time.

The production was juvenile, the props were toys, the "acting" was laughable, and the portrayal of the natives was racist at best. How did this get made and released?

You could watch it as a comedy, but it isn't even good enough to make fun of.

I recently came across this TV show while watching videos of the real Robin Williams and I thought to myself, eh, what the hell. I don't know what version people were watching who gave this glowing reviews, because I did not see that version. Chris D. did a pretty good imitation, but it wasn't as fabulous as folks here are gushing. It also did give us a peek at the horse-jockeying that goes on behind the scenes at the networks. Other than that, it was a lukewarm depiction of a gossip magazine's take on this part of Robin's life. The scene where a fan runs up with a gift for Robin that he flings away with some harsh words was actually BS, because he would not have done that. Don't misunderstand, I know he was not a saint, but he also wasn't a whiny unappreciative ass hole either, as is also portrayed here. I can only imagine that when this aired on TV, it had been a while since people had seen the real thing, and there are young people who never saw it, so they were satisfied with this "movie of the week" garbage, but for folks who did see the real Mork & Mindy, and have followed Robin throughout the years should be truly disappointed. Which brings me to my original question. WHY? Did these people really imagine that they would be able to capture Robin's brilliance in a slapped together "docudrama"? Well it's obvious that they thought it possible, and the result was this unworthy attempt. And the actual meaning of unauthorized, means that the star or his family refused to sign off on this. Please, don't waste your time on this and watch the original series. You're welcome.
