Water (1985)
Starring Michael Caine, Billy Connolly, Brenda Vaccaro, and Valerie Perrine, Water is a very silly satirical movie about greed’s destruction of the simple ways of life. Michael Caine is the governor of a Britain-owned Caribbean island, and while he and everyone else on the island is peaceful and happy, when a natural resource is discovered, bigwigs visit the island to try and exploit it.
I’m sure there are lots of people who will get a good chuckle out of Water, the types of people who like films like Bananas or Dr. Strangelove. I’m the not the best audience member for this genre, so I didn’t really like this movie. Also, it’s a little silly, and very obviously a movie that was made in the 1980s. But if those qualities appeal to you, you might like it better than I did. I was never a fan of the Monty Python films, and the same producer worked on Water, so that might have had something to do with my lack of enjoyment. For those with similar taste as I do, I’d recommend Without a Clue for a funnier flick.
