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 am very surprised that this is only rated as not even a 5 out of 10 on the IMDb scoring meter. This movie isn't as good as Schindler's List or anything obviously but it's not supposed to be, it is just a fun silly comedy movie and for what it is supposed to be it is a good movie and fun to watch.Robin Williams is doing his usual stuff in this or at least the stuff he used to do all the time with the manic comic over acting and zany character work.Peter O'Toole is Peter O'Toole and he is awesome in everything he has ever done including some great comedy work including this movie, Club Paradise.Take it for what it's worth and have a nice simple laugh watching a fun Harold Ramis movie!

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
