It's that time of year again. The Pirate of the Year Award and the Pirate Captain (voiced unrecognisably well by Hugh Grant) wants this award more than anything, taking on the more successful pirates Black Bellamy and Cutlass Liz. His quest to win the competition takes him from the exotic shores of Blood Island to the foggy streets of London. With his unusual crew forever by his side, the Pirate Captain takes on a pirate-hating queen and teams up with scientist Charles Darwin who needs more than a little help with the ladies.
There's laughs to be had from word go in this film-but when I say laughs, it really depends on what age you are or, more appropriately, what age your comedic taste is. I found this movie very funny, even the name of the Pirate Captain's crew are hilarious - The Albino Pirate, The Pirate With Gout and , my favourite, the Surprisingly Curvaceous Pirate who is indeed a woman pretending to be a male pirate. The geniuses (or genii?) at Aardman have struck again with a movie not as good as the classics they are known for but a great movie for the whole family, despite the surprising down-shirt jokes.
7.5/10
