Taran tara -- The Pirate Movie

I am the Pirate King! Well, not really. I was up late the other night and caught this movie. It's an old favorite, to be sure. My little sister and I always looked forward to whenever this movie would be on (or when we could convince our parents to let us rent it). It's just so funny.

From a cowardly crew of cops marching/strutting around (indeed they could give the Mummers a run for their money) and singing to Pirates breaking into song and dance. Assorted hidden references (really, look for them!), fun music and a whole armada of laughs. Would I call it a serious film? Nope. Cheesy, yes. But also a lot of laughs.

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!
