My dear, those clothes don't flatter you at all. It should be a dress or nothing, and I happen to have 'no dress' in my cabin.

Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man's Chest isn't just based on an amusement park ride, it gets its essence from an amusement park ride. It feels like the whole thing is on rails, but nothing very interesting that happens, but lots of fun to be had on the way.

Some people like this. I had a great time. Of course, when my Mom saw it last week she turned to Dad after an hour and asked "Is there really an hour more of this?" Dad's reply: "actually, there's another hour and a half." Mom walked out (the had seperate cars...)

Johnny Depp's crazy gay Keith Richard's pirate continues to be fun, and everyone else sort of hamms it up so we know not to take any of the ridiculousness seriously. Sure, it dragged a bit, and had no ending at all (I mean it, none at all) but it was still fun to watch. This is just about the definition of a popcorn movie.

Important disclosure: I saw it when my whole team at work took the afternoon off to go to the movies. So not only was the movie free, the time was free too since I was technically "at work." If I'd paid my own money and time for this one I might have felt differently.

Still want more?
