Jack Moniker (Robin Williams) is a retired firefighter who teams up with reggae singer Ernest Reed (Jimmy Cliff) to open a tropical island resort. In addition to local eccentrics such as British layabout Anthony Cloyden Hayes (Peter O'Toole), Jack and Ernest are joined by tourists eager to stay at their resort, including the goofy, party-seeking duo of Barry (Eugene Levy) and Barry (Rick Moranis). Unfortunately, whiny customers and greedy land developers threaten to spoil the fun.

A frenetically unfunny and charmless movie.

3/4

What's fresh about Ramis and Doyle-Murray's brand of comedy is that they're not one-liner wordsmiths, they're social satirists. They find humor in the subversion of a stable social community.

The whole, crowded thing begins to resemble a low-brow Nashville.

This is a case where the actors are only as good as the script, which isn`t saying much. It`s not long into Club Paradise when you may feel the urge to get out.

The unchanneled energy of Robin Williams can't redeem this messy yarn.

Despite what some folks may say it's a fun picture. The cast was great and the music by the great Jimmy Cliff is pretty cool and laid back. It's always ways fun hanging out with some great members of the Second City crew Gene Levey, Rick Moranis, Andrea Martin, Robin Duke and Joe Flaherty. All lead by the great Robin Williams. Now is it a Blues Brothers film or Animal House, no but it is fun. Enjoy it for enjoyment sake.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

I am completely baffled as to why so many people are shitting on this film. I really want someone to explain to me why it’s so bad. Please. Maybe, I’m just crazy but this is a really witty, charming, funny movie. The cast is fantastic and there are some great performances. Andrea Martin is brilliant in this. She steals the show every time she’s on screen. And Jimmy Cliff holds his own against some giants of film. Then on top of it all Robin Williams just holds down a solid Robin performance. I highly recommend checking this flick out. It’s a damn good time.
