Load of rubbish!!

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Chicago firefighter Jack Moniker (Robin Williams) dreams of retiring to the Caribbean island St. Nicholas. He gets injured in a fire and takes the money to buy a rundown water front property. He acclimatizes to the locals. There is the British appointed governor Anthony Croyden Hayes (Peter O'Toole). Tourist Phillipa Lloyd (Twiggy) takes a liking to Jack. Minister of finance and tourism Solomon Gundy wants to take over Jack's reggae friend Ernest Reed (Jimmy Cliff)'s club over his back taxes. Solomon is working with developer Voit Zerbe to take Jack's property as well. Jack starts Club Paradise which brings in tourists such as best friends Barry (Rick Moranis) and Barry (Eugene Levy), New York Times travel writer Terry Hamlin (Joanna Cassidy), friends Mary Lou (Robin Duke) and Jackie (Mary Gross), and Linda White (Andrea Martin) and her plastic surgeon husband Randy (Steven Kampmann). Of course, there's no guarantee that the pilot (Joe Flaherty) can get them there.The SCTV gang have gathered a few friends to try for an island holiday comedy. The gang is doing wacky while everybody else is doing less wacky. With Robin Williams and Peter O'Toole, there should be more laughs. The material is not really up to par such as the one-glove joke. It's mostly a minor miss from Harold Ramis although it's great to see this group together. Also Carey Lowell looks hot.

Sooooo underrated!!!! First time I saw this movie was on TBS the super station's Dinner and A Movie and have loved it ever since. I hunted down a VHS copy years ago then had to upgrade to DVD as the VHS had gotten so wore out. Too many great lines from Robin Williams and Barry and Barry make the movie! "Look at these two aqua velva's" priceless. I wish more people knew about this movie, one of the better 80's vacation comedies. Check it out people, you wont be disappointed! Robin Williams was amazing and is known for so many bigger films but he is great in this. Not over the top but still delivers the laughs. One last note, "I could have done the same dive myself if I did't have the diarrhea"

I guess I'm an '80's boy because I have so much to remember, high school graduation, college, Navy service etc. etc. Yet it is the movies I remember the most and this is one of them.It is cute and fun and with some great actors playing, so what if it didn't win any Oscars? Sure it wasn't gut bursting laughs by the minute, rather smiling all through the movie.No. It is all about the beautiful warm feeling you get, like coming directly from the Caribbean sun itself. Laid back, cool music and a good time.Pour yourself a drink (Bacardi perhaps?) watch it on a rainy winter evening with some company and you'll have a great time especially if you can remember yourself when you watched it for the first time.

I used to like Robin Williams. As time has gone on I've come to realize that perhaps I don't very much. When he's funny, he's hilarious. When he isn't. . . it's embarrassing. And CLUB PARADISE is one of the worst films he's made, which is saying something. It's hard to imagine that something so bad could have been directed by Harold Ramis (usually a rather reliable director/writer).The cast all look awkward and the jokes are forced and unfunny. I think CLUB PARADISE is probably one of the only comedies I can think of that doesn't even really entertain on some sort of level. No, it's not totally awful, but it's not amusing which is a huge flaw for any "comedy." 1.5/5 stars
