Coconut Pete's Pleasure Island is the hot spot for Spring Breakers. As the guests depart the boat for a week of sex, drinking and drugs, the employees welcome them all including the hosts island, Coconut Pete (Bill Paxton). When a few of the employees turn up brutally murdered, the rest of them have to keep doing their job or they all die. Only the clues from a bad Coconut Pete song can save them and reveal who the killer is. Everyone begins to look suspicious as more employees die. Could it be Sam (Erik Stolhanske) the Fun Policeman; Jenny (Brittany Daniel), the fitness instructor; Juan (Steve Lemme), the Costa Rican diving instructor; Putman (Jay Chandrasekhar), the British tennis coach; Dave (Paul Soter), the drug addled DJ; or the new masseur Lars(Kevin Heffernan) who scores extra laughs, blessed with ability to give people orgasms with just the slightest touch?
The movie would be much funnier if it were 20 minutes shorter. For instance, the movie contains a lot of random nudity and various sex acts, just to fulfill the titillation quotient, but they're not funny. Too often scenes feel like they're thrown in to lengthen the movie without having any real purpose. However, when the movie does get into the full swing of things, it's brilliant.
It has the most fun with the cliché of the maniac who can't be killed, in this case even after being run through with a machete, drowned and - well, let's not give away all the jokes. The off-beat minds that brought us "Super Troopers" returns in one of the better horror movie spoofs. While not as clever as their first outing, "Club Dread" shows that the Broken Lizard comedy troupe has huge potential and, given time, could be the next Monty Python.
