Leave your thoughts about Captain Ron.
| eFilmCritic.comBrian MckayKurt Russell is the only thing that makes this movie tolerable - and just barely at that. |
| Hartford CourantOwen McNallyAside from Russell's shameless performance, the movie is also afflicted with easily anticipated sight gags. |
| Empire MagazineKim NewmanRussell puts in a worthy performance as the irrepressible Ron and Martin Short is typically neurotic as the father. |
| San Francisco ChroniclePeter StackA family comedy lacking the double level of humour that make the modern ones so successful. The jokes are obvious but never very far away. Russell puts in a worthy performance as the irrepressible Ron and Martin Short is typically neurotic as the father. |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael WilmingtonCaptain Ron is a movie about trapped suburbanites who break out into romantic seas, but it never really leaves suburbia. Its spiritual home is in the shopping mall. Like the Cap'n himself, this movie guzzles up its dreams and ignores the busted engine. |
| Boston GlobeJay CarrA terrific cast, good pacing and some smart, funny dialogue bring an occasional fresh breeze to what is essentially a stale formula comedy. |
| The New York TimesVincent CanbyThe scenery is pretty but the movie never makes one wish to be in it. Mr. Russell, a good, reliable actor, prompts a few smiles as the raffish, impossibly self-assured sailor who is always half tight. Mr. Short and Ms. Place also are attractive in spite of the dim material. |
| Radio TimesTom HutchinsonThere's not much worth noting about this Disney attempt at maritime comedy. |
| Washington PostRita KempleyIf we lived in a just universe, Captain Ron, a farce filmed in and around the Devil's Triangle, would simply have vanished into another dimension. |
| Tampa Bay TimesSteve PersallIf we lived in a just universe, Captain Ron, a farce filmed in and around the Devil's Triangle, would simply have vanished into another dimension. But we don't and it didn't. |
