Description:
Broken Lizard is back?and this time the crazy comedy troupe that brought you Super Troopers is taking you on a trip so outrageously fun?it?s murder. Welcome to Coconut Pete?s Pleasure Island, a tropical, tequila-soaked vacation resort where high-spirited fun soon takes a deadly turn?leaving the island?s hilariously inept staff to battle a machete-wielding maniac as they fight to survive another day in paradise. Filled with sidesplitting humor, scary slasher scenes, and plenty of bikini-clad babes, Broken Lizard?s Club Dread is a comedy to die for!
Amazon.com:
Looking for plenty of sex, violence, and lowbrow comedy? If you are, you could do a lot worse (or is it a lot better?) than to visit Club Dread, a boldly wretched excuse for broad comedy perpetrated by the Broken Lizard troupe--the same guys who brought their potty-mouthed brand of lunacy to bear on 2002's Super Troopers. That alone should serve as ample warning or invitation, depending on your tolerance for way-too-casual sketch comedy, stitched together with an emphasis on big, gross laughs and enough female frontal nudity to give Girls Gone Wild a run for its money. It all takes place on Coconut Pete's Pleasure Island, where Pete (Bill Paxton, slumming it with infectious abandon) holds court while scantily clad vacationers play crazy games (life-size Pac-Man, anyone?) and provide easy prey for a slasher on the loose. Ah, but there's the rub: Is this schizoid movie a comedy or a horror flick? It's both... and neither... and the bloodletting is surprisingly extreme amidst all the poop and fart jokes. Of course, that won't stop Club Dread from finding its audience. We know you're out there…and you know who you are. --Jeff Shannon

Average Rating: 
Rating: - Decent B+ film
This movie had a pretty decent story line and kept your interest. It was a fun movie about a vacation spot when terror strikes. Its more of a comedy with parts of "horror". I guess i cant really say horror because as good as some of the effects were it still wont make you jump or close your eyes. Being the directors cut and looking at the packaging it was a disappointment that Brittany Daniel never gets naked... sorry boys.
Rating:  - Dreadfully bad. One of the worst movie ever.
It's completely nonsense and not funny at all.
How about the plot? What plot? There's no plot either. The acting is a bad joke.
What a waste of time and money!
Rating:  - a good comedy
i saw this when it first came out. Way before i saw super troopers and I love this movie so very much. I recommend this movie to anyone who likes horror/parody/comedys
Rating: - Who Encourages Them and Where Do They Get Their Money?
Now that I've seen three Broken Lizard movies (and they wisely left their name off their third stinkbomb, BEERFEST), I can say that this "comedy troupe" is horrible. Where did they come from? How do they get funding to keep making lame comedy after lame comedy? What will it take to stop them?
It doesn't surprise me to see good reviews here since I imagine most of the four or five star reviews were written by young and unformed viewers who have yet to develop any type of comedic taste ... Read More
Rating:  - DREADFUL IS MORE LIKE IT
I was not one of the many who loved SUPER TROOPERS. Having seen numerous movies made by comedy troupes that turned skits into films like KENTUCKY FRIED MOVIE and THE GROOVE TUBE, I knew that these comedic groups could put together something good. Not so here. I found the movie more juvenile than many and in this day and age that is saying a lot.
The same holds true for their second big screen endeavor. The jokes and humor found here are sophomoric at best, the kind of jokes that poor radio ... Read More
