FlashCallahan Injured while risking his life to save a German shepherd, Firefighter Jack Moniker retires and moves to a small Caribbean island named St. Nicholas. There, he is befriended by the owner of a run-down resort, Ernest Reed. Greedy developers are scheming to wrest Reed's coveted beach front property from him for non- payment of taxes. Jack comes to Ernest's rescue, and together they renovate and reopen the resort catering to affluent Americans.......Here's another movie that should have killed it at the box office. Williams was just about a huge star, Ramis was a competent film maker, and it was part of that weird sub genre that had comedians trying to save a hotel or shack against property developers, like Summer Rental, or that one where Demi Moore had dreadlocks.But once you watch the movie, its easy to see why this hasn't been shown much since its release, despite the fact that it's entirely watchable, its inconsistent, and it doesn't know what to do with its final act.Williams is as good as ever, he always was a remarkable screen presence, and the support is good too, especially Levy, Moranis, and O'Toole.But then the film has Twiggy, the model, and Jimmy Cliff, the singer. Both cannot really act and bring the film to a stand still.The final third feels rushed and out of place in a comedy, featuring gun toting soldiers trying to get Williams and Cliff, it's almost as if Ramis didn't know how to end this, so he just put a little bit of action, and a speech come the end.But it's not a bad movie by any means, it's just a good story has been handled hastily, and this is the outcome.Worth seeing if your a Williams fan.

gonzo_don As another reviewer said, you'll either love this or hate it, but for my money, it is absolutely hilarious. Robin Williams has never been better in a comedic role (though he's been very good in serious roles), but Peter O'Toole steals the show and appears to be having a great time doing it. Rick Moranis and Eugene Levy are brilliant playing the hormone-driven island-goers and Brian-Doyle Murray was perfectly cast as the money-hungry developer. I added up all the stars given this film and all I can figure is that the reviewers who wrote a review but didn't vote got counted as 0 stars, because this thing should be up there around 7 or 8 instead of at the 4 it's listed as receiving. For a good, mindless laugh, you can't beat Club Paradise.

KayCeeMo 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.

dbborroughs 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.
