Fun Stuff

Trivia:
David Letterman appears as the "Old Salt in the Fishing Village", but the credits list him as "Earl Hofert". This is an inside joke for Letterman fans, as he also referred to himself as "Hofert" in some skits back at his old program "Late Night with David Letterman" (1982) on NBC. In real life, Hofert is an uncle of Letterman's on his mother's side. more

A Pants-Wetter Comedy, 4 June 2003
10/10
Author: CaptinChunk from Roads?...

Although they skimped on the props and sets, the writing is comic gold. With the continuos salty sea talk by the Captain and his Crew, this keeps you laughing. A good movie to watch with friends.
