Synopsis: | Sometimes family is found in the most unlikely of places. Good Good Trouble on Bad Bad Island is the raucous comedy of Rosa who, in a parcel intended for Good Good Island, finds herself on the shores of Bad Bad Island, thanks or no thanks, to a nearly blind delivery man, Delmer, and his dense cohort, Turtle, a turtle. Rosa is spotted by Bad Bad Island's inhabitants and is thrust in front of their "over-speaking" leader, The Idol, who forces her, in order to "save of her life", to a number of horribly horrible tasks that hearken back to the labors of Hercules. | |||||
