User Reviews

The best Muppet / pirate movie ever made!

This is a really funny movie, almost even if you don't like the Muppets or pirates. The jokes are very 'muppetesque', almost with a little Monty Python thrown into the mix. Tim Curry does a great job as does the Muppet cast. The story isn't much to talk about, get to Treasure Island and grab the loot, but it doesn't matter as the characters and the situations they get themselves into are what's worth seeing.

If you're bored, give this one a try!
