About this listen
Looking for an escape from reality? Then look no further!
Escape from Virtual Island is an epic comedy adventure starring Paul Rudd, written by John Lutz of Saturday Night Live, Late Night with Seth Meyers, and 30 Rock, and produced by Broadway Video.
Rounding out the ensemble cast in this genre-hopping, madcap comedy are Emmy nominee Jack McBrayer, Wine Country and AP Bio’s Paula Pell, Late Night with Seth Meyers’ Amber Ruffin, and 30 Rock’s Scott Adsit.
The Audible Original also features the voice talents of Jason Sudeikis, Jane Krakowski, Olivia Wilde, Kenan Thompson, Seth Meyers, Rachel Dratch, Henry Winkler, and a host of other comedy favorites.
About the story:
In the year 2038, there’s only one destination that can play host to the world’s wealthiest adventure seekers: the Pengalaman Island Resort and Virtual Reality Theme Park. Located on a private South Pacific island, guests here live out their wildest fantasies in custom-made virtual reality simulations while also enjoying the usual amenities of an exclusive five-star getaway.
All is relatively breezy until famed billionaire and avid guest, Mr. Wagner (Sudeikis), goes missing within a virtual simulation. His only hope? A daring rescue led by Derek Ambrose (Rudd), the maladjusted heir to his mother’s resort empire, and his ragtag search party consisting of Faith (Ruffin), a tech-nerd extraordinaire (and naturally, his ex); Ramona Kurtz (Pell), the foul-mouthed head of island security; and Beasley (McBrayer), the resort’s lead concierge and Ambrose family confidant.
What ensues is a high-octane, comedy throwback filled with memorable performances throughout, and a reminder that real life can be the ultimate experience if you’re just willing to open your heart and dive in headfirst.

Very entertaining
I found the character a bit confusing at first, but half way through I fell in love with the story. story was funny, and a little romantic. I hope there will be more like this in the future. Paul Rudd's performance didn't disappoint.

mostly great
lots of comedy and well-placed tension without the villain being so annoying that you can't keep going. my only qualm is the final chapter seemed a bit rushed and overall the resolution was no more than "fine". Still highly entertaining, though.

Meh
It’s ok. It was entertaining enough for me to finish it, but i didn’t laugh anywhere. I may not be the crowd they were aiming for.

Entertaining!
Listened to this walking the dogs daily. Nice escape from reality (ironically). Light-hearted fun and ridiculous jokes (intentionally). I loved it!

Solid 4 stars of good times
It's kinda dumb, but I liked it :)
Paul Rudd is the best and the whole cast is really stellar. Excellent sound design and production values.
I did lol a few times, but by no means does it make you ROTFLOL, ya know?
4/5
