Working at The Pirate Times Dinner Theater is less than exciting when you're a busboy. For three moping misfits-- Elliot, Sedgewick and George (Larry the Cucumber, Mr. Lunt and Pa Grape)-all they dream of is the day when they can ditch their dishrags and take stage to star in the big pirate show. But with Elliot's timidity, Sedgewick's laziness and George's lack of self-confidence, it seems as if the day to prove who they really are will never come. Things are about to change when a mysterious ball drops from the sky and lands at the unlikely seafarers' feet. A "Helpseeker" sent from the past in search of heroes, the artifact sets in motion a series of events that drags the friends back to the 17th century--and into the belly of certain danger. The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything must each face their fears--becoming unlikely heroes in a battle to rescue a royal family from an evil tyrant, and themselves from living the life of common couch potatoes.
I rented this movie pretty much because the stepdaughter and I thought the Rock Monster portion of the trailer was hilarious. I never thought that I would actually end up enjoying this movie. Its seems even more absurd in writing but now its out there. This movie was actually pretty funny. There were a lot of great one liners and I found myself cracking up every time they would lift things . . . . . since they had no limbs on their vegetable bodies. Its not a good movie by any means but did surprisingly have some pretty decent laughs.
Even though I somehow ended up enjoying this movie - I really wouldn't recommend it to anyone not renting it for their kids. The kids will enjoy it.
