Quick Answer

What is Goofballs about?

Goofballs is a 1987 Canadian comedy film directed by Brad Turner about a struggling entertainer who takes a job at a chaotic Bahamian golf resort, only to face unruly guests, suspicious officials, and a gang of crooks.

Programmer's Pick

Goofballs doesn’t just flirt with chaos—it marries it on a Bahamian golf course and invites every mobster, femme fatale, and belly dancer to the reception. If you like your comedies with more costume changes than plot twists, pour yourself a (virgin) piña colada.

Overview

Goofballs sets its sights on sunny chaos as a beleaguered entertainer becomes the unlikely glue holding together a Bahamian golf resort teetering on the edge of disaster. Tasked with keeping the guests happy and the wheels turning, he finds himself outmatched by vacationers with no sense of decorum, golf officials who seem more suspicious than supportive, and a motley crew of crooks aiming to turn paradise into pandemonium. Packed with slapstick antics, farcical situations, and a parade of outrageous characters, the film delivers a low-budget, neo screwball ride through sun-soaked mishaps and cheeky comedy. Fans of raunchy, irreverent humor and resort-set mayhem will know exactly what kind of sandbox they're playing in.
