Buy This Item Pyrates by Vestron Video  Available from Amazon  $14.98  on 9-23-2008     I was expecting a complete turkey of a film but was pleasantly surprised. Just goes to show you can't always believe the critics, as attested by other reviews here. As long as you're not expecting "Children of Paradise" or something, you won't be disappointed. "Pyrates" is just a fun - and very risque - romantic comedy. Definitely not for the kids, but adults who aren't too uptight should enjoy it. Lots of funny lines and the direction isn't bad either. Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick really carry this film along, and their onscreen chemistry wasn't just an act, since they're actually married in real life. Good over-the-top campy entertainment. Reader Reviews I never got a chance to see this movie in the theater, but I fell in love with it on VHS and have since gone through 2 copies since the mid-90's. This movie truly deserves a re-release onto DVD. Sure, it's a little cheesy, but that's part of the fun. I thought it was twice as funny and edgy as Reality Bites, but never quite got it's day in the sun. To top it off, the soundtrack is absolute perfection: Violent Femmes, Soft Cell, Wild Cherry and then some.
