Pretty cute pirate of penzance comedy musical. The jokes are really bad and so is everything else, i don't even know if your kids will like this. Actually I don't know of anyone who would like this but I did watch it all and didn't complain so it can't be too bad.
Bejeweled codpieces, Bobbies, Inspector Clouseau rip-offs, modern major generals, pantaloons, dance numbers and so much breaking out into song! Dripping with the 80's! "You'll be hung!" "I am, and very well thank you."
I'm fond of this great 80's teen pop movie with singing and dancing pirates, girls and policemen. It's cheesy, but good-spirited and fun. I was glad they had two gay pirates at the end of this movie.

I give it a half. It would have been better if it was pornographic but this film was a tease.

I loved this movie in the 80's and I love it still! I bought the soundtract on cassette and still have it. I think it is funny and also fun to try and find all the bloopers!! I love it!
Another one of the lame teen movies of the 80's that tried to appeal to its audience. In all aspects this one didn't.
This movie is too goofy not to be fun and enjoyable. I would like to have it in my movie collection!
