A parody/homage to Gilbert and Sullivan's Pirates of Penzance, The Pirate Movie is a comedy/musical utilizing both new songs and parodies from the original, as well as references to popular films of the time, including Star Wars and Raiders of the Lost Ark. In your typical boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy fights girl with swords plot, the story revolves around Mabel, the youngest of Maj. Gen. Stanley's many daughters, and Frederic, an ex-Pirate of Penzance. They fall in love and proceed to retrieve the Stanleys' fortune from the Pirates (stolen 20 years ago). The Pirate King informs Frederic that since he was a Leap Year baby born on February 29, Frederic is still technically the King's apprentice. Frederic must then decide between duty and honor--the only good qualities the King taught him- and true love.
Leave your thoughts about The Pirate Movie.
| The A.V. ClubNathan RabinThe Pirate Movie suggests what Gilbert & Sullivan's original would look and sound like if it were rewritten by a boy-crazed middle-schooler who'd rather drool over John Travolta in Grease for the 50th time than suffer through anything close to opera. |
| The New York TimesJanet MaslinThe Pirate Movie stars Kristy McNichol and Christopher Atkins in a cut-rate kiddie version of Gilbert and Sullivan, laced with synthetic pop ballads and leavened with infantile dirty jokes. |
| Miami HeraldTerry KelleherPop tunes are mixed in with some of the original G&S songs in a pirate period setting that grates on the nerves, as does the inane toilet humor that substitutes for wit. All the performers, especially McNichol, look as if they can't wait until the film is over, and one can hardly blame them. |
| eFilmCritic.comDavid CorneliusChristopher Atkins is in it. I rest my case. |
| Washington PostGary ArnoldA blockheaded travesty that fancies itself a rollicking update of "The Pirates of Penzance." |
| Kalamazoo GazetteJames Sanfordlurches from almost-unwatchable to so-awful-it's-fascinating. Next to this, even such notorious '80s epics as 'Grease 2' and 'Xanadu' look like high-class affairs. |
| User ReviewHeidi Jtotally silly-just like they meant it to be. |
| User ReviewMelissa HThis has been one of my favorite movies for a long, long time! |
| User ReviewScott KNeither can sing. Neither can act. Bon Apetit. |
| User ReviewJordan MI am the Pirate King! Best comedy about pirates ever. |
