A Disappointing Continuation

This is one of my favorite movies with Robin Williams. Normally, he is so out of control, it's difficult to watch him. This time, he steps back a little and lets the other funny people take a turn. Peter O'Toole stole the picture, as far as I'm concerned, with his droll delivery. Even Twiggy was a pleasant surprise. Loved the Jimmy Clift music, and the Adolph Cesear as the blustery military leader. The two Barrys (Moranis and Levy) had some of the best lines as they tried to score some marijuana. And I'll never pronounce White the same way after Andrea Martin gave it her own special twist. This is a great movie to watch in the dead of winter. It will warm you right up.

first - the soundtrack. various great songs by jimmy cliff. the soundtrack was released on LP and cassette and is quite hard to find. other than the tape, i have not heard any of the jimmy cliff songs before. second, great quotes by rick moranis and eugene levy, most referring to marijuana. very funny stuff!! (things like, "we want a bag, a big bag, no sticks or stems") third, a great political plot about revolution against the colonizing powers of europe fits well with what was happening in central America and the caribbean during the late 70s and 80s. sure, robin williams has an annoying role in this movie and a lot of his jokes are terrible... but you cant deny having this cast rolled up with some great music!

You'll either fall in love with this film or you won't.The story of an injured fireman who goes to the tropics and becomes involved with a hotel, Twiggy and local politics is a film played strictly for laughs. The humor is very broad and often not very clever but if you can go with its good natured attitude you'll have a good time.The cast of Robin Williams, Jimmy Cliff, Twiggy and several escapees from SCTV is up to the task of being Silly. Peter O'Toole is even better than the rest as the world weary British Envoy to the island who wants nothing more than to be allowed to drink.For me this film is a perfect ten on the enjoyment scale. For everyone else I think you'll find it around a seven or eight.

I love Club Paradise, great soundtrack by Jimmy Cliff and the only Robin Williams movie I can say I truly enjoy.Its a cute silly film, mostly disliked but a great post SCTV carry over cast with Eugene Levy and Rick moranis up to no good in the jungle.Williams delivers and Peter O' Toole is so superior as "The Govenor" truly wry British humor is used at all times.A great $4.99 value found recently for sale at Walgreens, pick it up and have a larf.Cherrio caps!-Sean in LA
