    Stoner flick, but with some very good comedy.
  • July 28, 2009
    Watchable and a promising plot but tries too hard to be clever.

    Loved it as a child. I guess it didn't stand the test of time. Still some funny moments.

    3 of 5 stars for the movie comedy Yellowbeard. Monte Python meets Mel Brooks. Well this comedy parity of pirate movies combines the talents of Monte Python (Idle, Chapman, Cleese) with Mel Brooks' team (Mars, Kahn, Feldman, Boyle). The result is a funny lightweight comedy. Richly...( read more) photographed, lots of sight gags and funny dialog. This is truly a turn your brain off, sit back and relax funny movie! If you are looking for a deep plot with lots of drama or suspense, don't look here! Yes, I do recommend this!

    This was something different to watch, for me.

    This is classic. The cast of Monty Python, Cheech and Chong, Marty Feldman, Madeline Kahn. All-star comedy cast set in the days of pirates. A truly entertaining movie. If you didn't see it, find it and watch it. You'll not regret it.

    This is a great comedy for any fan of Monty Python. You can't beat the cast, they're all top comedy stars. NOT one for the kids though.

    i had an old dodgy copy slightly recorded over at the begining, however i still laughed my ass off. classic comedy, as extreamly underestimated as it is hilarious.
