Movie Reviews of Captain Ron
Movie Review: Captain Ron
Summary: 5 Stars
For a Wildly hilarious re-watchable comedy, this is your film. My review is of the movie as this is written pre-DVD. This film has the family of Martain Short, beautiful independent decorator wife and 8 year old son and 16 going on 25 yr old daughter all thrown together on an inherited sailboat they must sail back from the Caribe! They get the aid of one-eyed Captn Ron, a patch eyed Kurt Russel who seems to have no credentials, but to perturb Martain Short when against logic, he comes through time after time when the chips are down in the most humorous ways possible. Scene after scene has so much humor you can't pick it all up in one showing. Kurt Russell and Martian Short as Captn Ron and the father/ships owner are perfectly cast. You will not regret this film and if you are like a lot of folks will end up knowing many of the lines and jokes, the recollection of which will brighten your day with a smile long after the movie. Has a happy heart warming ending, some suspense, and a generally upbeat tone more movies should have. It's many sailors' favorite. I personally loved Steve Martain in The Jerk and to me they both rank one and two in terms of modern comedy movies. Suitable for a whole family and with a gut splitting ending.Movie Review: Adventure Comedy
Summary: 5 Stars
Straight man Martin Short is the bouncing board for colorful Captain Ron's (Kurt Russel) outrageous antics. Excellent cast, direction is a bit choppy at times (kid spills milk once and picks up bottle twice, etc.) but this doesn't hurt the film. Businessman/father inherits boat from long lost uncle. Family takes a spontaneous trip to the Carribean to sail the boat to Florida and sell it. Along the way, hired captain Ron takes them on a few sidetrips and misadventures. The real charm of this movie is it's beautiful setting. The placid blue Carribean waters, coupled with a great soundtrack (probably the best scored comedic film of it's decade, featuring Marley's "Stir it Up" and "Jammin'") make you almost feel like you're there- a rare success for an andventure film, let alone a hilarious comedy. Since I first saw this film I have desperately wanted to somehow get myself on a sailboat and head for El Carribe. Parents take note, Captain Ron's colorful main character has equally colorful language. Also, there is a shower scene with partial nudity. These two things unfortunately keep this from being an otherwise perfect family movie.Movie Review: OMG ALAN 5973 UNDERSTAND MY FEELINGS!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
WHEN I FIRST GOT THIS MOVIE I THOUGHT, OMG OMG OMG I CANNT STOP LAUGHING ... THIS MOVIE WAS CRITIZED AND TOLD IT WAS A BAD MOVIE??? OMG WHAT WERE THEY THINKING???
CRITICS, IDIOTS IN MY BOOK. I DONT CARE. EVEN MY SISTER HAS SAID AM NUTS FOR WATCHING THIS MOVIE 26 TIMES ON (VHS).
BUT WHEN I LEARN THIS MOVIE WAS GOING TO COME OUT IN DVD, I CALLED HER AND TOLD HER.
OMG..AND YES ALAN5973 TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU WHEN U MENTION *Kurt Russell is The Man ("I've always been a fast healer... course I believe in Jesus"). Martin Short is Hilarious (Pirates of the Caribbean...."Been to Disneyland one too many times have we, Captain Ron! ")*.
I LOVE IT WHEN MARTIN DOES NOT PAY ATTENTION TO KURT WHEN HE IS TOLD TO STAY ON THE PATH BECAUSE OF THE PIRATES...JAJAJAJAJA, ALSO WHEN MARTIN IS MAD AS HELL AT KURT FOR NOT TAKING THEM TO SAN JUAN AND PIRATES WANT TO KILL HIM (MARTIN)...
IF U WANT TO REALLY LAUGH AND GO NUTS WITH THIS MOVIE, GO FOR IT, DONT CUT UR SELF SHORT, LAUGH AS HARD AS U CAN BELIEVE ME I DID. I CANNT STOP. 2 THUMBS Review: "There are NO Gorillas in the Caribbean!"
Summary: 5 Stars The Harvey family inherits a yacht once owned by Clark Gable. All they have to do to cash in is bring it to the U.S. Aside from being a little used the yacht will need a Capitan as the family is not ept yachters.
They heir a local that seems to know his way around. Soon they find that he knows more than they want to. The father Martin Harvey (Martin Short) starts to feel his control and stature slipping. Captain Ron (Kurt Russell) seems very chummy with the wife Katherine Harvey (Mary Kay Place), corrupting the morals of their son Benjamin Harvey (Benjamin Salisbury), had very lenient with the daughter Caroline Harvey (Meadow Sisto). Captain Ron also seems to be too capable with boats.
Looks like a lot of pitfalls are possible during the yacht retrieval.
Will the children get their pirate tattoos?
Will we see Cuba?
Will Martin gain back his stature?
Will we have fun with a lot of great one liners?

Movie Review: Captain Hilarious
Summary: 5 Stars
"There are NO Pirates of the Caribbean!"
"There are NO Gorillas in the Caribbean!" "Go Gur Go Gur, there's a big difference!"
"If something is going to happen its going to happen out there boss!"
"Their playing hide the salami!"
"Don't worry it's just a little dry rot all boats have it."
"No Boss she's not a Cretan she's a Puerto Rican!"
"Whatever you say boss!"
"Come on people, they're taxpayers for god's sake!"
If you've seen this movie, you have to be laughing after reading those lines. Kurt Russell is one of the most versatile actors ever and he brings life and humor to this film like no other person could.
Folks, this film is a comedy, it's not serious! Do Not look for deep metaphysical understanding, instead, laugh, then laugh some more and more and more until you are on the verge of tears. This is one of those films, that is pretty clean, mostly good family fun and can lift you out of the doll-drums.
ENJOY
