Russell puts in a worthy performance as the irrepressible Ron and Martin Short is typically neurotic as the father.

Captain Ron is a movie about trapped suburbanites who break out into romantic seas, but it never really leaves suburbia... Like the Cap'n himself, this movie guzzles up its dreams and ignores the busted engine.

Queasy ocean-going comedy, not helped by Kurt's Robert Newton impersonation.

The scenery is pretty but the movie never makes one wish to be in it.

No new depths are plumbed here.

If we lived in a just universe, Captain Ron, a farce filmed in and around the Devil's Triangle, would simply have vanished into another dimension.

Sep 21, 2012Captain Ron is a hilarious cult comedy that delivers a ton of laughs. When Martin Harvey inherits a yacht he takes his family to the Caribbean to claim it, and hires Captain Ron, a local seaman, to help him learn to sail and get the ship seaworthy. Kurt Russell and Martin Short lead the cast and deliver great performances; Russell in particular does an outstanding job with the role of Captain Ron, creating a tremendously charismatic and fun character. At times the film is a little formulaic, but for the most part the writing is fresh and puts a new spin on the family vacation comedy. Outrageously funny and incredibly entertaining, Captain Ron delivers a ton of laughs in this high seas adventure.Dann M Super Reviewer

Jan 10, 2012Very silly and occasionally funny, Captain Ron is not a recommendable movie but is, at the same time, an unforgettable cult comedy. Who is fan of Martin Short, like I'm, is good to know this rare dumb picture.Lucas M Super Reviewer

Nov 19, 2009A completely corny attempt at a comedy. While Kurt Russell is undeniably funny, that is literally the only thing this film has going for it. The plot is horrible and the acting from everyone else is terrible. It's almost just sad at how cheap and throw away this movie is.Conner R Super Reviewer

Sep 19, 2009Good comedy to spent your time without extra thoughts about. Kurt Russell is the only thing that makes this film want to see it.Arianeta L Super Reviewer
