Excellent but underrated film

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

This movie is exactly what it needs to be: what you expect from watching the trailer, but much more than the trailer. I think the low score is unfair. Although the film isn't perfect, no-one who sees the trailer and who watches movies should expect it to be - and if you have reasonable expectations then this movie is actually a cut above the rest.I would compare this movie favorably with classics such as A Weekend at Bernies and The Hangover, but it doesn't stoop to over-acting like The Hangover does. Instead the movie is filled with well-acted and funny conversations between the two main actors. The laughs weren't out lout for me, but they were very consistently amusing and entertaining.Brooks Wheelan's performance is outstanding in this movie, so much so that I would put him in the top 5 "lovable goofball friend" characters that I can remember. His portrayal is genuinely likable without being over-the-top or mean like recent "lovable goofball friend" characters we've seen lately (eg. Deadpool's buddy).Bryan Greenberg's portrayal is adequate. He plays the sympathetic everyman, and thus isn't supposed to be the wise-cracking party animal. The more important thing is that he has good chemistry with Wheelan and the conversations between the two are pleasing.I liked this movie and would recommend it!

I saw the cover, and it reminded me of Weekend at Bernie's so felt the need to see it. I had no idea I was going to enjoy this film so much. We've seen the plot before, we know where it is going, but it just feels different, it felt so more relaxed and unforced. The delivery of lines was second to none, I found the timing the one thing that kept me smiling from start to finish. I have not heard of either of the two main characters before, but I will be following them from now on. Especially Brooks Wheelan, I couldn't help but find everything he did, said or gestured, was hysterical. The story is like a bad episode of Magnum PI, but it is executed so well, we know what is going to happen within the first few minutes, and you expect a "Hangover" type movie, but it isn't. I don't know why it has such a low rating. This genre has its blockbusters, but this had a totally different feel. Totally unexpected favourite!

Not bad at all. It's not going to go down as the greatest comedy of all time, that's a given, but this made me laugh and that's all that's important. It's a feel good movie with a weak plot that seems written by some Movie and TV geeks, but you know what? It gets the job done, and you know what? In the end that's all that matters getting the job done and they did it. I laughed and had a good time. Worth seeing, randomly.http://cinemagardens.com

Comedy in film is difficult to do - the cadence of timing and delivery is magnified on the screen. A subtle alchemy needs to work between the actors to make the audience connect to the characters. In Random Tropical Paradise, best friends Harry Fluder (Bryan Greenberg) and Bowie Pemberton IV (Brooks Wheelan) pull off a believable "homie-moon" adventure with reckless abandon and hilarity. We go along for the ride, through some anticipated capers and some unexpected twists in the tale. Each cast member, no matter how minor or major their part, has played their role well. Funny script shot in a lovely location! Enjoyable!
