This is Fun

Rating: 9/10 (29 August 2003)

It helps if you have been on the synonymic ride at Disneyland as it serves as the inspiration to the movie. This was good old fashioned fun. I took my children (15 and 13) and they loved it. For me it worked on several levels. There were in jokes for people who had been on the ride, Several nautical jokes which 'sailed' (sorry) over the heads of landlubbers and spectacle galore. We got pushed into going by our 13 year old daughter who rather likes Orlando Bloom but I thought all the cast did a very good job even if Johnny Depp rather stole the show
All in all - better than I expected.
