Product Description
An ex-fireman and his local partner try to run a tourist resort on an island that developers want to purchase for Arab interests.
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 studios. 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

 Classic Robin Williams. A Movie Ahead of its Time! November 5, 2005
Mark Higgins (Anchorage, Alaska)

This is a great movie with more funny one-liners than any ten recent comodies combined. Robin Williams is superb as is Peter O'Toole.
Beautifully set in Jamaica with a soundrack by Jimmy Cliff that's to die for.
This is a must own for fans of Williams, O'Toole, Cliff, or the beauty of the Carribean.
It WILL be released on DVD! February 15, 2004

I got tired of waiting for this great movie to be released on DVD, so I wrote Warner Bros. I'm happy to tell you that their answer was positive. Club Paradise will be released on DVD next year. Now I just hope I will be able to wait that long.../Viktor
Splendid 'feel good' movie October 24, 1999

I have watched this movie so many times and I still enjoy it so much. I had never heard of it when I first hired it from a video store but being a Robin Williams fan, and a comedy fan, I gave it a go. Isn't it great how you can discover a treasure like this without ever hearing a load of 'hype' about it first? The music is great and I spent a lot of time just getting the soundtrack from overseas, I am in Australia, and I could only get it on cassette. This is a real shame as I am quickly wearing the tape out and cannot replace it. Why is it not available on CD? Great Movie...Great Music...
Thank Goodness! November 27, 2005

Well, It's about time! My VHS version is on its last legs!
The story is thin, Robin Williams is OK, but the supporting cast lifts this film to Must Have status! Harold Ramis and Eugene Levy are classic. Can not wait to see what "extras" the DVD will have. Perhaps the deleted scene of Robin Williams fixing the hotel plumbing (which is only shown on the very rare network viewings?)
Pop a Red Stripe, and take a trip to the islands - February 14th can not come soon enough!
Where's the DVD?? October 23, 2002

This is by far one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. It's packed with great one-liners and unforgettable scenes that stay fresh no matter how many times you watch it. I have but one question... When is this movie going to be released on DVD??? It's a shame that it hasn't gotten any further than video. I'm sure my fellow Club Paradise fans will agree - WE WANT THE DVD!
