Very 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.
A 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.
this movie was entertaining enough to get through but it was incredibly silly. ok watch.
Family comedy in which Martin Short feels his manhood threatened by an orange Kurt Russell in a posing pouch. Who wouldn't? The best review quote they could come up with for the DVD cover was "funny". Which is half right. At best.
Kurt Russell is inherently likable in these rougish comedy roles, 'Overboard' another example.
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. Full Review
Director Eberhardt does nothing to elevate this from being anything other than a boring TV movie, and I'm sure if Kurt Russell wasn't in it, that's exactly where it would have premiered. Full Review
Forced Kurt Russell, Marty Short comedy.
Kurt Russell is the only thing that makes this movie tolerable - and just barely at that.
As bad as it sounds.
The physical comedy doesn't always work, but it is a pretty good effort as comedies go. Full Review
