The Pirate Movie

Movie Summary

Released: 1982
After attending a pirate-themed local carnival, '80s girl Mabel (Kristy McNichol, "Family," "Empty Nest," LITTLE DARLINGS) is knocked unconscious, beginning her fantasy about being trapped in the days when pirates roamed. The daughter of a Major General, Mabel falls for wayward pirate Frederick (Christopher Atkins, THE BLUE LAGOON). A family tradition and pirate interference prevent them from wedding in this goofy bubblegum musical, which spoofs Gilbert & Sullivan's "The Pirates of Penzance" (amongst other things). The film flopped in theatres but developed a major cult following on television and video.

This is one of the best musical/comedies out there besides popeye the movie. I think my sister and I wore out the video tape when we kept renting the movie non-stop. Now that I own I think I'm gonna have to by a new dvd before I wear out the one I have. Its definetly worth seeing if you havn't yet.
