Club Paradise

Robin Williams, Peter O'Toole, Rick Moranis, Joanna Cassidy, Twiggy, Eugene Levy, Brian Doyle-Murray, Adolph Caesar, Joe Flaherty, Mary Gross, Andrea Martin, Jimmy Cliff

Robin Williams went through a period in the mid '80s when he looked like he'd turned into the next Richard Pryor: yet another brilliant standup comic neutered by the script mills of the Hollywood stud...( read more  read more... )ios. Indeed, Williams seems almost like a spectator in this film, reacting to a supporting cast extremely deep in talent doing what they can with the mediocre script by Brian Doyle-Murray and director Harold Ramis. Williams plays a heroic Chicago fireman, who is injured and retires after saving several lives in a fire. He takes his insurance settlement and buys a resort on a poor Caribbean island (the film was shot in Jamaica). He spends the rest of the time playing straight man to a gaggle of guests that includes such SCTV alumni as Rick Moranis, Andrea Gross, Eugene Levy, and Robin Duke, as well as Jimmy Cliff and Peter O'Toole. Occasionally rising to the level of mild amusement, Club Paradise is, disappointingly, little more than a series of hit-and-miss sketches strung together by the feeblest of plots. --Marshall Fine

    Robin Williams plays a retired fireman in this one so of course we had to watch this.

    Another pointless Robin Williams vehicle that feels like an overlong and rather weak sitcom witha parade of uninteresting guest stars. Dull.

    This movie has a good cast (Robin Williams, Rick Moranis, Eugene Levy) but the movie itself isn't that great. There were a few funny/interesting parts, but not enough to save the film.
