Cute and entertaining

This movie is not likely to win (or be nominated for) any awards. But that does not change the fact that it was an amusing distraction for the children. It seemed to be a variation of Galaxy Quest, which was a fun movie itself. This, of course, was more kid-oriented, and my three children (ages 3, 6, and 9) all enjoyed the show - the 9 year old enjoyed it in spite of himself.It was a cute movie with a positive message that used humor to advance the story as opposed to a movie that makes up a story to move from pratfall to pratfall. It's a rare treat in movie-making these days, and one that is worth checking out - at a matinée.

Funny. Just Funny. thats all you need to know.

I'm not a fan of Veggie Tales. However, in small bits quite clever and funny. It was with some apprehension therefore that I saw The Pirates that Don't Do Anything (okay I saw it because the trailers and commercials looked funny).The plot has three of the Veggies working at a pirate meal and show place like Medieval Times, but with pirates. they are little more than waiters who want to be in the show. When an audition goes wrong and gets them tossed, they figure their futures were bleak. However a magic ball from the past mistakes them for heroes and transports them back in time to help a Princess who has to rescue her brother from a real pirate. I'm mangling the plot but you get the idea.I thought this was hysterical. No its not the be all and end all, but it is clever and witty with a nice sense of silliness. I loved the cheese curls and the walking rocks and some of the songs...and I just had a good time. I'm not sure that this really required to be on the big screen at ten bucks a head, but its better than the Weinstein's Doogal or Happily N'ever After or some of the other poor animated films of late, so I shouldn't complain since I had a good time watching it. I don't know what else to say it was funny, is there anything else one needs to know?
