SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

just watch it!

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Robin Williams stars in Harold Ramis' 1986 comedy. The late, Williams (Mrs. Doubtfire) plays Jack, a Chicago fireman who leaves his profession and travels to Jamaican island, St. Nicholas where he helps turn a failing dive "Club Paradise" into a resort. While some of the guests have mishaps and a little fun, Jack tries to save the club from shrewd businessmen who want to buy it. Rick Moranis (Ghostbusters), Eugene Levy (Splash), Brian Doyle-Murray (Caddyshack), Andrea Martin (Black Christmas) and the late, Peter O'Toole (Lawrence of Arabia) co-star. This is a good, wacky 80's comedy and Williams is great in it. I recommend this.

Robin Williams stars as a retired fire worker from Chicago who moves to the Caribbean to help a rundown "resort" cater to affluent Americans. The movie chronicles the madcap exploits of the proprietors, guests and colorful island denizens at the new "Club Paradise" as they square off with greedy developers who want the valuable beachfront property.There's just enough good in "Club Paradise" to make it worth catching if you're in the mood for a fun island flick. It's decidedly mediocre, but consistently amusing and there's no raunch. But they coulda done more with the women.Co-stars include Twiggy, Peter O'Toole, Andrea Martin, Rick Moranis, Joanna Cassidy, Eugene Levy, Jimmy Cliff and Adolph Caesar.The film runs 96 minutes and was shot in Port Antonio, Jamaica, Chicago and L.A.GRADE: C+

Robin Williams and friends from the Second City gang take a vacation on the lovely, fictional isle of St.Nicholas (filmed in Jamaica) in the summer of 1985 and bring along Peter O'Toole, Twiggy and Jimmy Cliff. They even remember to make a feature film while they are there. Too bad they forgot to include more laughs. Sunstroke maybe? Enjoy the tropical locations and songs by reggae star Jimmy Cliff. The mindless and undeveloped story wastes a ton of comic talent. Fans of Williams and SCTV will get a kick of seeing all the comic actors in one place, but will be hard pressed to enjoy it. I think their home videos of the trip would have been funnier to watch. For some reason I find myself watching it every now and again.Turn your brain down to 'warm,sunny Caribbean beach' mode and just enjoy the few entertaining bits of this studio-funded holiday.

I had to add a comment to this page because I couldn't believe that it only had a 4. something rating. I believe it deserves something much higher. I first saw this film about 15 years ago now, and ever since it has become one of my all time favorites. The comedy to the acting to the soundtrack all truly represent the best of 80's comedy film making. Either you love 80's films or you hate them. My husband hates them, which makes me wonder sometimes how I could've married a man that stands against everything I love about movies. The two Barry's are the best. "Barry - Barry... I scored"! I think I have watched this move about 50 times in my life and that is no exaggeration. I will watch it anytime its on. Jimmy Cliff delivers a soundtrack like no other. Every song could'va made one of his albums without anyone knowing it was Scored for a film. In fact I wish I could find where to buy the soundtrack as I have looked for years and have never been able to find it. Brian Doyle Murray is also hilarious in this film. Maybe it has to do with my childhood and experimenting with Reggae, and Drugs that made me fall in love with this film, but as I said it will always be one of my favorites and I hope everyone that loves 80's films gets to see this at least once.
