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"

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.

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.

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+
