Future Cult Classic
The Broken Lizard troupe returns with a horror mystery set in a island
resort owned by former rock star, Coconut Pete (Bill Paxton). Everyone is a suspect when dead bodies start turning up all over the tropical paradise, but can the wacky, drugged-out and over-sexed staff of the resort work together to solve the murders and return to their partying ways? The spoof genre is getting kind of lame with the Scary Movie franchise doing it to death. Surprisingly, this film isn't half bad. When the movie was released in theaters, it was ignored and it deserves to find an audience. As far as stupid comedies go, you can do a lot worse. Club Dread may not be frequently funny but it still offers a few decent laughs. However, there are a few things that keep the film from really breaking out. There are the comparisons to Super Troopers and Club Dread isn't as good as that film. It's kind of disappointing if you look at it like that. Another reason it isn't that good is because it's just not very creative. Like I said before, the spoof genre is becoming very old and a lot of these spoof movies aren't very creative. Some of the jokes in Club Dread are pretty uninspired and some of them just sink. Sometimes, they seem to be trying too hard to be funny while other times they blow opportunities to make a certain scene funnier. The running time is 119 minutes long (at least the version I saw) and this ends up hurting the film. Since it's longer, there are a lot of slow spots and long comedies hardly ever work nowadays. There just isn't enough material to cover that time frame. The cast is mostly made up of unknowns and they all give good, funny performances. Bill Paxton is the only real famous person in the film and he gives a good performance. It' s surprising that they didn't advertise his name for the film. The only actress I didn't like was Brittany Daniel. She was bland and not that interesting. I like watching these type of films becomes it's fun to try to predict who the killer is. In the end, if you're looking for a stupid comedy then Club Dread may fit the bill. If you're expecting another Super Troopers then just skip the movie.

This movie was the funniest horror that I have ever seen. No other film company can make their horror movies as funny as this one. All the actors really stuck to their character and made it their own which I enjoy. Not only were they playing a character but they were adding a little bit of themselves to it as well..

This Movie Is Just Plain Fun
For all of the critics who have lost their sense of humor: get a life.
Broken Lizard's Club Dread is a great, fun movie--especially for us in our late 30's and 40's. Bill Paxton is GREAT as a Jimmy Buffet knock-off, and the rest of the cast does pretty good, too. You have to go into this film with the attitude that you're going to have a fun, mindless, romp. If you're looking for award-winning screen writing, go see Lost In Translation (which SUCKS, by the way). So, take a night off and go have fun at the movies for a change. Me and a theater full of about 200 people agreed. Club Dread was a funny, creative diversion. It's a great vacation and deserves a B+. Read Roger Ebert's review in the Chicago Sun-Times.. |
