| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Warren ClementsWhat Yellowbeard establishes is that for even the funniest of performers, a good script may be as essential as pitching is to baseball. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThere's a funny line or two, a fetching performance by Stacey Nelkin as a young wench, some nonsense about a buried treasure, and then Yellowbeard is soon over and soon forgotten. |
| The Associated PressBob ThomasThe script, for which Chapman and Cook must bear some responsibility, is a three-minute Python skit bloated out to feature length, involving buried treasure, revenge, and machinations close to the throne. Depressing stuff. |
| Filmcritic.comChristopher Nullno laugh track to save us from dud after dud. |
| User ReviewMorbious FodI love this movie, and if you are a Monty Python or British Comedy fan then you need to watch this. If you were expecting the next Cheech and Chong movie then you might not want to, because this isn't their typical stoner comedy movie. I will have no more bad acting! |
