Captain Ron (1992)

Viewed: 8/14

Ron
8/14: I haven't seen a comedy picture in a long time that made me laugh so much.

Hence, Captain Ron is the latest to do it with lots of wonderful, zany moments. What a treat it's been, thanks to Kurt Russell's spontaneity. His eye patch is an homage to his Snake Plissken character. The idea of family sailing together for bonding purpose is nice.

Martin Short is also funny. Not many people are quick to realize how good he is in comedies. It's hard to believe that Mary Kay Place looks unrecognizable compared to The Big Chill. I like the kids which is a rare statement coming from me.

All in all, Kurt Russell gets the full credit for making comedy come alive in Captain Ron.
