DVD Reviews of The Pirate Movie

DVD Review: One of my allllll time favorite movies!
Summary: 5 Stars

It is very corny, but I have loved it since the first time I saw it! I special ordered the vhs way back when, and it cost me $60 cuz it was a special order! Crazy or what!

DVD Review: The Pirate Movie
Summary: 5 Stars

Saw the movie years ago when it first came out and my daughter and i both loved it. Bought one for her AND one for me. Lots of my family members loved it too. If you like quirkey, comedic, musical spoofs this is DEFINATELY for you. Good for the whole family and you can't say that very often anymore.

DVD Review: FUN MOVIE and GREAT MUSIC!
Summary: 5 Stars

I absolutely love this movie. Though it is far fetched, it's from the 80's, so what would you expect. I love the chemistry between Chris Atkins and Kristy McNichol and I'd love it if they made a sequel to this movie. I used to watch this as a teen and I loved the romance of it all. The music is great, there is some decent comedy (which I now fully understand) and the acting is good. It's a nice movie to get lost in for a little while and forget your troubles, chores, etc. I just wish I could find the soundtrack on cd for this movie though.

DVD Review: Family Favorite
Summary: 5 Stars

We first found this movie when my daughters were pre-teens. It is still one of our all time favorites. If you like musicals like Grease and Bye-Bye Birdie, you will be a fan of this one as well. We were so happy to find it on DVD because we had been using a recorded off TV VHS for many years. Give me a happy ending - every time!

DVD Review: Give me a happy ending every time ...
Summary: 3 Stars

I am on a Christopher Atkins kick these days. It sounds like a strange thing to say, but having recently discovered the tripe that he starred in has really done something to me. What that is, I'm not sure, but this is a movie that slipped under the radar. It deserved to slip under the radar, but going back to this hilarious song and dance takes me back to a simpler time.

This is a modern day version of Gilbert & Sullivan's Pirates of Penzance. It's rather campy and silly with the off color humor, the hoaky costumes, and the typical Ugly Duckling story. The Pirate King is Fabio, Kristy McNichol is the nervous geek girl, and of course Christopher Atkins (who choose to embrace his teen idol status rather than fight it) bares his chest a lot.

Have fun with it.

Description of The Pirate Movie

"Buckle your swash and jolly your roger for the ultimate musical comedy pirate adventure! Kristy McNichol (LITTLE DARLINGS) and Christopher Atkins (THE BLUE LAGOON) star as dreamy young lovers in this uproarious update of Gilbert & Sullivan's THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE, filled with virtuous maidens and shirtless cutthroats, savage swordplay and buried treasure, a dashing Pirate King (Ted Hamilton) and a modern Major General (Bill Kerr), plus plenty of pillaging, plundering, plank-walking fun! For years, fans have been clamoring for this infamous '80s musical from the Oscar?-nominated director of THOSE MAGNIFICENT MEN IN THEIR FLYING MACHINES (1966). The wait is over: THE PIRATE MOVIE is now presented with a brand-new Widescreen Transfer, featuring a fascinating new Director's Commentary and mixed in timber-shivering Dolby 5.1 Surround! "
