Bill Paxton, Brittany Daniel, Dan Montgomery Jr.

Looking for plenty of sex, violence, and lowbrow comedy? If you are, you could do a lot worse (or is it a lot better?) than to visit Club Dread, a boldly wretched excuse for broad comedy perpet...( read more  read more... )rated by the Broken Lizard troupe--the same guys who brought their potty-mouthed brand of lunacy to bear on 2002's Super Troopers. That alone should serve as ample warning or invitation, depending on your tolerance for way-too-casual sketch comedy, stitched together with an emphasis on big, gross laughs and enough female frontal nudity to give Girls Gone Wild a run for its money. It all takes place on Coconut Pete's Pleasure Island, where Pete (Bill Paxton, slumming it with infectious abandon) holds court while scantily clad vacationers play crazy games (life-size Pac-Man, anyone?) and provide easy prey for a slasher on the loose. Ah, but there's the rub: Is this schizoid movie a comedy or a horror flick? It's both... and neither... and the bloodletting is surprisingly extreme amidst all the poop and fart jokes. Of course, that won't stop Club Dread from finding its audience. We know you're out there…and you know who you are. --Jeff Shannon

    The sophomore installment for the Broken Lizard gang who brought us the hilarious cult hit Super Troopers. The synopsis is a spoof of "who done it" type of mystery thrillers. Chalk full of naked women and drugs, the Broken Lizard gang clearly have a lot of fun making th...( read more)is film. However, the end result is not as enjoyable for the audience.

    This film would've been a passable decent excuse for a popcorn comedy had it not been for the ridiculously ludicrous ending. Quite possibly the worst ending to a movie of all time... even for a comedy. It was really lame. You almost have to see it to believe it.

    You can do better Broken Lizard.... or maybe you really are just a one hit wonder.

    The Broken Lizard crew are usually pretty good at pushing the limits and making it funny. Unfortunately with this one the funny takes a back seat to a fairly ridiculous Whodunnit type story, with lots of scattered tits and ass. The funny moments are funny, but so rare and they pa...( read more)le by comparison to the groups previous works. The murder mystery is kinda fun, especially with the bits of gore, but ultimately it feels like a movie with an identity crisis. See 'Super Troopers'.

    Simply awful. Lacks plot, humour, a good cast and just about everything else that would have made it bearable.

    One of my guiltiest of guilty pleasures. I can't remember how many times I've seen this, but it never fails to make me chuckle -- all the way through. Jimmy Buffet, you son-of-a-son-of-a- . . . gun, move over. Coconut Pete has your number.

    Cook: idk?
    Pete: oh come on guess
    Cook: coconut?
    Pete: YES! GODAMNIT! YES!

    Broken Lizard's hilarious take on a horror/slasher. In my opinion, much better than the earlier and later ends of the scary movie franchise, and more enjoyable to watch. Definitely worth a watch.

    Seen bits of it here and there. Not wanting to sound too much like a prude, just seems these comedies with half-naked women running rampant are, as it were, refugees from war-torn land of comic inspiration taking refuge in peaceful land of sexual distraction.

    Was cheesy but better than I thought it was going to be. Still predictable though...
