Marty Short, Kurt Russell and Mary Kay Place do an excellent job getting the laughs. The plot is frankly ridiculous so if you're seeking a thought provoking movie, keep looking. If you just want to have some laughs with your family at the expense of some well crafted funnies, pop this movie in. Kurt Russell is truly funny in this comedic role. Combine this with classic Marty Shorty straight-man and you've got a winner. The child actors in the film also do a fabulous job of pulling their weight and Mary Kay Place defines oblivious sexy mom in her role. Grab the popcorn, turn off the phones and settle in!

Once more Kurt Russell is a hit in this hilarious tale about a couple who inherit a boat and decide to sail it from the Caribbean to home. Along the way, if there is a funny way to get in trouble, they find it and learn they have strength together that they never suspected. Captain Ron is a carefree boat captain who is smarter than he seems. You'll love every minute, a definite classic.

This is another one of those In true( Kirk Russell style) movies wheres shes just so funny in the movie he does not even know it. He plays a down and out captain who aggress to take this mess of a boat that this family inherits to another dock for them, in the mean time thee is an underlying story line about a family who is to busy for one another and you know Kirk Capin Ron makes it all better for them.. This is another comedy that Mr. Russell was great n, It was a sleeper at the box office but it has done well on tape and dvd.. ifs a funny movie
I bought this movie because I enjoy laughing with Martin Short and Kurt Russell. It is a wonderful comedy about what can happen when two opposite lifestyles collide under circumstances where they all need to work together. Kurt Russell (Captain Ron) has a carefree attitude about life and rolls with the punches. Martin Short, & his family are workaholics with two children, a teen-age girl (who loves trouble) and a very impressionable son who learns a great deal from his mentor "Cap't Ron". When the family escape their burb lives for the biggest adventure of their lives, they are met with finding out about who they really are and how much "Cap't Ron" has influenced them! I would highly recommend this wonderful light-hearted comedy!!!
Overall comically correct to 1st time travellers. In the end , " take a chance in life" !
