Club Paradise

Harold Ramis

Jack Moniker Robin Williams is a Chicago firefighter who becomes injured on the job. Using his disability money, he decides to retire and live the good life in a small Caribbean island called Saint Nicholas. He buys a small amount of property there and lives among other washedup personalities such as Anthony Croyden Hayes Peter OToole. Appointed by the British crown as governor of St. Nicholas, Hayes is more concerned with vacationing than governing. Miss Phillipa Lloyd Twiggy, who is visiting St. Nicholas with some sailor friends of hers, decides to stay permanently and becomes Jacks girlfriend in the process. He playfully refers to her as Miss Philadelphia.Jack befriends financially troubled reggae musician Ernest Reed Jimmy Cliff, and they together form Club Paradise, which they market as a Club Medstyle resort complete with a brochure that features photographs of Jack in various disguises on every page. This attracts a handful of tourists, including Barry and Barry Rick Moranis and Eugene Levy who are there for the pot and the women. Much of the film involves the tourists comic misadventures adjusting to island life and the lowrent facilities of Club Paradise. Also travelling to the island is New York Times travel writer Terry Hamlin Joanna Cassidy who ends up spending most of her time in the company of Governor Hayes. Adding to the fun is suburban housewife Linda White Andrea Martin, who is vacationing with her plastic surgeon husband Randy Steven Kampmann. She tries her hand at just about everything the island has to offer, including cliff diving lessons from two handsome instructors, Christopher and Helmut. ........
