Captain Ron (1992)

Ron
8/14: I haven't seen a comedy 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 a 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, but he does it well. Hard to believe, Mary Kay Place looks unrecognizable in comparison 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 in making the comedy come alive in Captain Ron.
