Entertaining but light

Rating: 6/10 (22 July 2003)

An entertaining comedy/action film that keeps you entertained even if you barely remember it later. Johnny Depp hams it up as the deposed pirate and Orlando Bloom gets to act heroic but the performances are mostly over the top mugging.. still the action is entertaining enough and it keeps your attention from wandering into the numerous plot holes.. As films based on DIsneyland attractions go, this one is an improvement over "The Country Bears" and is somewhat entertaining, despite the various flaws. GRADE: B
