Mindless Fun, 20 July 2004

Author: dbborroughs from Glen Cove, New York

You'll either fall in love with this film or you won't.

The story of an injured NYC fireman who goes to the tropics and becomes involved with a hotel, Twiggy and local politics is a film played strictly for laughs. The humor is very broad and often not very clever but if you can go with its good natured attitude you'll have a good time.

The cast of Robin Williams, Jimmy Cliff, Twiggy and several escapees from SCTV is up to the task of being Silly. Peter O'Toole is even better than the rest as the world weary British Envoy to the island who wants nothing more than to be allowed to drink.

For me this film is a perfect ten on the enjoyment scale. For everyone else I think you'll find it around a seven or eight.
