Synopsis:
BROKEN LIZARD is back, and this time America's favorite new comedy group (of the runaway hit SUPER TROOPERS) takes off on a trip so outrageously fun, it's murder. Welcome to Coconut Pete's Pleasure Island, a sun-kissed, booze-soaked resort where high-spirited comic hijinx are about to meet up with machete-wielding horror. It all starts when a group of fun-seeking young travelers arrive on the island ready to party with the resort's staff, who are there to provide them with every legal form of leisure on earth, and then some. Run by the washed-up pop star Coconut Pete (BILL PAXTON), still basking in the fame of his hit '70s single "Pina Colada-Burg," the island provides the ultimate kick-back holiday... that is, until islanders start kicking the bucket.When dead bodies start to show up in surprising places, the 24-hour party is in danger of grinding to a halt. Coconut Pete wouldn't dream of bumming out his guests. So, while the resort-goers tan, guzzle, and get their groove on, the staff frantically attempts to figure out who is stalking them. As the tension mounts, and the killer takes out staff members one by one, those who are left must battle against time, terror, and their own scary incompetence as they fight to survive. It's just another day in paradise.

CRITIC REVIEWS
Lew Irwin
By and large, critics agree that the horror spoof Club Dread from the Broken Lizard comedy group is neither scary nor funny. Dave Kehr in the New York Times concludes that it is merely a disappointingly routine horror movie spoof that follows the well-worn path of the Scream and Scary Movie franchises. While some critics acknowledge that the movie has some funny moments (it manages to improve from awful to moderately engaging, comments Ty Burr in the Boston Globe), others apparently failed even to crack a smile. Desson Thomson in the Washington Post found it to be about as funny as malaria. Claudia Puig in USA Today sums up her review in four words: Club Dread is dreadful.
