Pirate Movie

I took the boys to the movies on Friday afternoon to see the new Veggie Tales movie – The Pirates Who Don’t do Anything. We love Veggie Tales and make it a point to see them all. My boys were not disappointed since they rarely get to go to a movie for two reasons 1) Rarely are there any worth seeing except for those like Toy Story or Cars (by the way, why are so many animated movies rated PG? They are basically cartoons, right?). 2) Cost – It cost almost $50 for the three of us to see this movie.

I have to say that I was disappointed. It was nothing like the Jonah movie. There was little comedy and even less humor for adults. If you’ve never seen a Veggie Tales production, you must understand that they usually do a good job of throwing in jokes, references, etc that adults can appreciate. I was hoping for more of that even poking some fun a the Pirates of the Caribbean movies but alas, it was not there. It was good clean fun for a Friday afternoon but it could have been better. The animation was great and was fun to watch. Plus Mr. Lund was chased by cheese curls which is always good for a laugh.

I wish those at Big Idea would have made the Lord of the Bean into a full length movie or Minnesota Cuke (a play on Indiana Jones) into a feature film. Oh well, we’ll continue to support them and hope for a better outcome next time.
