Customer Reviews of The Pirate Movie
I love this movie I am so glad that I found this. I've been looking for a long time.
Underrated film-- Cult Classic today
Some of the online reviews bring to mind the snobbishness of the reviews in 1982. This film is brilliant in its silliness and slapstick humor. The thrust of the movie was not so much to "remake" Pirates of Penzance, but to update it and make the humor more accessible to a new group of people, as well as poking fun at those who believed that the now subtle humor of "Pirates of Penzance" was only for the "highbrow." Well, giving a bit of a background of Gilbert and Sullivan their humor at the time was aimed squarely at the rigidity and formality of the upper classes, and was considered slapstick, silly and highly accessible in its time. This movie pokes fun at the upperclasses, and was highly offensive to the reviewers of the time because of this. Sit back and enjoy it, but also realize that this movie does far more than simply make fun of Pirates of Penzance, Star Wars and Raiders.....
Shiver Me Timbers (come on, who can resist?)
It has been 20 or so years since I watched this movie. I had forgotten how fun it was. The movie though is different through the eyes of an adult. It is really quite saucy for a movie from the 1980's. It is such a great farce of a movie. What a fun way to remember my youth by revisiting such a romp of a movie.
