Years ago Coconut Pete (Bill Paxton) had a hit record, but now he runs a tropical island resort where he spends his days basking in hedonism with the rest of the resort's offbeat staff. The paradise Coconut Pete presides over, however, becomes a living hell when an unknown killer begins slaughtering the staff. As the body count increases, so too does suspicion among the survivors. Now it's up to Coconut Pete and what's left of his staff to solve the mystery and stop the bloodshed.

One of my all time favorite movies. First time I watched this I thought it was absolutely terrible. Years later I realized it was absolutely perfect all the way through.

This movie is a masterpiece; a perfect blend of campy 80's-style horror flick mixed with Broken Lizard's inside joke humor. This is a classic in my house and has been seen again and again, often singing the songs for days after.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Oh yes, it's a very poor film, but it's shot well and chock full of tattoo-free dream girls. Also, Bill Paxton and a few other welcome side-characters.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

This movie was so dumb and boring, I wanted to turn it off the whole time, it's actually shocking these guys were allowed to make any movies after this dud, Not a single laugh I can recall, If someone offered me $100 to watch it again I would say NO!

A thick, rich slab of American cheese. As bad-taste comedies go, this is more clever than gross...

This slasher/comedy isn't funny or entertaining.

Rated: 1/5

Lessons of Darkness

Even if it doesn't really succeed as a thriller or a comedy, the film isn't simply a hack-job either.

Rated: C+

Midwest Film Journal

The Broken Lizard quintet follows its quintessential cult-comedy classic "Super Troopers" with something like "Ten Little Indians" interpreted by five big imbeciles - a slasher parody three "Screams" and three "Scary Movies" too late.
