    Not great but I like Martin Short!

    Hands down the worst movie I have ever seen! A fun train wreck to watch right after you watch Big Trouble in Little China and then Death Proof in order to compare Kurt Russell's acting. He's come a long way! Too funny.

    A completely corny attempt at a comedy. While Kurt Russell is undeniably funny, that is literally the only thing this film has going for it. The plot is horrible and the acting from everyone else is terrible. It's almost just sad at how cheap and throw away this movie is.

    Good comedy to spent your time without extra thoughts about. Kurt Russell is the only thing that makes this film want to see it.

    A funny film starring Kurt Russell and Martin Short. Kurt is great as Captain Ron. Very funny. He made the film for me. He gets hired to sail this family in a boast which leads to many funny moments. A solid comedy that is worth checking out at least once.

    Captain Ron was a great family film, I really liked Kurt Russell's acting in this fiklm, it made it a lot better than it would've been.
