Review of "Club Dread", with Brittany Daniel
filmcritic.com Movie Review: Club Dread: "Warner Bros.' Scooby-Doo remake, which also featured partygoers fleeing a stalker on a tropical island, had a better story and sharper jokes than Dread. The punch lines start in the crotch and try to meander their way up to the brain, but only make it as far as the rectum. Poop jokes muscle for screen time with cheap, sleazy sex jokes.
There was a time when I'd have been surprised to see Bill Paxton in garbage like this, but somehow he fits in with these burnouts. Playing Coconut Pete, the owner of Club Dread, Paxton inhabits a boozy Jimmy Buffet clone with Kid Rock's body and Tommy Lee's libido. He has plenty of talent to ogle, from the luscious and scantily-clad Brittany Daniel (Joe Dirt) to the luscious and scantily-clad Jordan Ladd (Cabin Fever). And as actors, the Broken Lizard kids make great lamp posts. At least they all suck. I'd hate to see one talented Lizard break away from the pack and get too cocky."
