Plot: An introverted girl who yearns for popularity (Kristy McNichol) attends a pirate festival in her seaside community, featuring a swordplay demo led by a curly haired hunk (Christopher Atkins). After selecting Mabel (McNichol) to participate in the act, the instructor invites her aboard his boat for a real ride on the high seas -- at which point a gaggle of her catty acquaintances latches on for the trip. Sent to get hamburgers for the outing, Mabel is accidentally left behind when one of her friends pulls the anchor prematurely. Determined not only to fit in, but to track down her dream guy, Mabel steers a tiny sailboat into stormy waters in pursuit, and gets shipwrecked. Thus begins a fantasy in which the unconscious Mabel imagines herself in a real pirate adventure, complete with her dashing pirate hero, a legion of his crusty shipmates, and dozens of unwed sisters who must rise to the altar before she can. The fantasy mixes film parodies, love songs, animation, and the score of Gilbert & Sullivan's {+The Pirates of Penzance}. The story also loosely follows the structure of said operetta. ~ Derek Armstrong, All Movie Guide

Bite Marks?
Added 7/6/2009

The movie arrived as scheduled and priced as posted. Play perfectly and my wife is very happy with it (one of her all time favorite movies??). The only thing, I was surprised by what looked like 2 sets of bites marks on the case, as if a dog got to it before it was mailed...

I am a child of the 80's, so no surprise that this is one I have always loved. Christopher Atkins and CKristy McNichol are great in this spoof classic.

Great 80's campy movie- terrible audio track
Added 1/7/2009

This movie was campy and cheesy in a way that the perfect 80's movie always is when seen 20 years later. It was everything I wanted, except for one obvious problem. When the film was transferred the dialogue must have been low priority because you can't hear it very well except on max volume, then when they break into song it is very very loud.

Fun but goofy!
Added 1/6/2009

I remembered this movie being more than what it was but of course approximately 25 years have passed. It was still fun, but in a goofy way. I'm glad I bought it because it's a piece of my youth. I really liked this movie when I was a very young teenager, around 13, and for no more than I paid for it, it was fun to revisit a piece of my past.
