Summary: Garrrrr! Working at The Pirate Times Dinner Theater is less than exciting when you're a busboy. For three moping misfits-- Elliot, Sedgewick and George (Larry the Cucumber, Mr. Lunt and Pa Grape)-all they dream of is the day when they can ditch their dishrags and take stage to star in the big pirate show. But with Elliot's timidity,Garrrrr! Working at The Pirate Times Dinner Theater is less than exciting when you're a busboy. For three moping misfits-- Elliot, Sedgewick and George (Larry the Cucumber, Mr. Lunt and Pa Grape)-all they dream of is the day when they can ditch their dishrags and take stage to star in the big pirate show. But with Elliot's timidity, Sedgewick's laziness and George's lack of self-confidence, it seems as if the day to prove who they really are will never come...
Things are about to change when a mysterious ball drops from the sky and lands at the unlikely seafarers' feet. A "Helpseeker" sent from the past in search of heroes, the artifact sets in motion a series of events that drags the friends back to the 17th century--and into the belly of certain danger. The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything must each face their fears--becoming unlikely heroes in a battle to rescue a royal family from an evil tyrant, and themselves from living the life of common couch potatoes.

Critic Reviews

TV Guide Magazine Ken Fox

It's wholesome fun for the whole family. Read full review

Kevin Crust

Pirates relies more on classical and pop culture-driven references to deliver its worthwhile message. Read full review

Luke Sader

Slickly made -- in the good sense -- and most entertaining. Read full review

Stephen Cole

Except for one memorable interlude, the film just doesn't have near enough fun blasting spitballs at "Pirates of the Caribbean." Read full review

Neil Genzlinger

It’s a boilerplate plot like one you might find in any morning cartoon. Read full review

Elizabeth Weitzman

My 3-year-old date had a fine time, pronouncing the movie "very good" and backing up her assessment by going 90 minutes with barely a fidget. Which may actually be the highest compliment any movie can ask for. Read full review

Ed Gonzalez

Humorless, incoherent, and ugly as sin, this Christian-friendly production is as tragic as the candle wax that resembles a glob of man jam and opens Pa Grape's eyes to the meaning of his adventure. Read full review

When I first watched this film, it made up for my disappointment when The Bob and Larry Movie was cancelled. It serves as a perfect spin-off focusing on the tritagonists of Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie.

Crazy its what gets its humor but it is so adorable and touching that it is too much too resist. Its animation is so low budget it gives it an extra charm. I give this 91% of a good movie.

The kids certainly laughed out loud and enjoyed the movie from beginning to end. It was however, not Big Idea's best venture--Jonah and many of their videos have much better storytelling. They graphics though were certainly impressive.

My childhood nostalgia screams out loud in this film!! Well honestly,... it has very-very mediocre narrative, predictable script. and might be too childish... but still, it's the treasured memory of my childhood
