    There is a movie called Club Paradise. Mid-80’s comedy starring Robin Williams and Jimmy Cliff, Twiggy, a bunch of 80’s comedy regulars, Peter O’Toole is in it. The plot of the film is local honest people vs corrupt government and business, but minute to minute it’s mostly a spring break shenanigans movie starring a bunch of adults? Like, Rick Moranis and Eugene Levy play a pair of potheads named Barry and Barry who repeatedly fail to score weed and chicks.

    It has mostly negative reviews, but I’m fond of it. It DOES NOT work as a cinema film, I cannot imagine going to a theater, sitting reverently and quietly as it boomed down at me, but it works on TV as “let’s put a tape in while we’re getting ready for Family Saturday Afternoon Hobby Outing/waiting for Family Saturday Afternoon Hobby Venue to open.”
