Arrgh, an Ok film

Arrgh me hearties, this is an OK movie about singing & dancing pirates.The film keeps a fine pace when it involves the pirates, but struggles to keep an interest when there no salty old seadogs involved in the scene.Ted Hamilton as the Pirate King, provides a performance that is reminiscent of Errol Flynn at his peak.Most of the outdoor scenes were filmed at Werribee Mansion, a site that is one of the most commonly used in Australian TV & film.Arrgh I give this little piccy 5/10, a good film for the youngens. Arrgh.

Slapdash pirate musical with "Airplane!"-like spoofery...

A wallflower is tossed into the sea and dreams herself into a pirate fantasy as a damsel in love with a pirate's apprentice. Energetic and good-natured, perhaps, but a shoddy enterprise; a failed musical send-up of "The Pirates of Penzance" with a cheap, backlot feel, wan bubblegum songs and constant, leering overacting. Kristy McNichol's film career took a real hit after this, while leading man Christopher Atkins cannot get a vocal grip, his voice wobbling about in search of an appropriate tone. You have to wonder, if that's the best title they could come up with, what's the level of wit going to be in the actual script? The movie's "Grease"-like affection for musicals doesn't gel with its penchant for slapstick à la "Airplane!", although McNichol works overtime being effervescent and nearly makes the limp handling look endearing. For the most part, it's an embarrassment. *1/2 from ****
