Starring Michael Caine, Billy Connolly, Brenda Vaccaro, and Valerie Perrine, Water is a very silly satirical movie about greed's destruction of the simple ways of life. Michael Caine is the governor of a Britain-owned Caribbean island, and while he and everyone else on the island is peaceful and happy, when a natural resource is discovered, bigwigs visit the island to try and exploit it.I'm sure there are lots of people who will get a good chuckle out of Water, the types of people who like films like Bananas or Dr. Strangelove. I'm the not the best audience member for this genre, so I didn't really like this movie. Also, it's a little silly, and very obviously a movie that was made in the 1980s. But if those qualities appeal to you, you might like it better than I did. I was never a fan of the Monty Python films, and the same producer worked on Water, so that might have had something to do with my lack of enjoyment. For those with similar taste as I do, I'd recommend Without a Clue for a funnier flick.

actually i wanted to give this movie 9/10 but after seeing how bad it rates i had to give it one more star because it really shouldn't be that much of an underdog. sometimes i don't know why i adore this movie, it's just so much pleasure to watch, great music, great cast cane as governor, connolly as a rebel, both giving brilliant roles, valerie perrine as a rich heir going environmentalist, brenda vaccaro as a hot-blooded guatemalan, what more do you need for a great movie :) it's the essence of life without all the drama, money and rush. so, wear your favorite hawaiian t-shirt, grab the bottle of water and watch this beauty :)

"Water" is the tale of the decline of British colonialism in the West Indies, independence and freedom fighters, multinationals and environmentalist - An excellent film that has me laughing from the opening scene with, Billy Connolly right through to the end. It typifies American Industry and their win at all costs attitude.The dialogue is very much like that of the old screwball comedies and the music is perfect for the Carribbean setting. All the characters are excellently portrayed and the performances are a treat to watch. The plot is absurd enough to be a wonderful parody of reality.You can imagine that the British Government really work the way they are portrayed on the screen and waste thousands of pounds worth of tax payers money ensuring that their will is adhered to.The one liners in the film are excellent "you can't close down an island as if it was a factory" states Michael Caine to Leonard Rossiter who plays the London Minister.Loved it & rate it 10/10

This is a really fun movie. It has great actors and the plot, political references, and music make it worth a look. Sometimes movies just need to be fun.Michael Caine looks like he is having a good time making this movie and the other actors meld in with his actions. Brenda Vaccaro and Leonard Rossiter created characters that were almost embarrassing to watch. They were great.Whoever cast Billy Connoly and Jimmie Walker was a genius. Fred Gwynne will be remembered as a Munster, but I think this was one of his great roles.
