I also saw the movie Yellowbeard and thought it was
one of the funniest movies I have seen in a long time.
If you liked Holy Grail, and Life of Brian, then you
should enjoy this movie. It is one of those rare movies
that I laughed all the way through, much better then
the Meaning of Life. Cheech (sp?) and Chong fans may
not like this preformance as much as some of their
earlier movies, the characters are not what I would
expect from them, but they fit the story better (yes
there is really a story and plot that is followed).
I would suggest this movie to anyone, even at the $4
ticket price.

I can't believe that some people liked Yellowbeard! I thought it was the worst piece of trash in years, and walked out after 1/2 hour. If you think that bloody stumps are funny; if you think that bloody nails through bloody feet are funny; if you think that getting shit thrown in your face is funny; if you think that kicking little girls down stairs is funny; ... then Yellowbeard is the movies for you. Even the nacho's at the theatre playing yellowbeard sucked. There were about 10 people in the entire theatre, prime time Saturday night. Everyone else was right. Yellowbeard: see it iff you like unfunny gross boring things that waste time and cost money. - Rich Greenberg

This movie has Graham Chapman and Marty Feldman (among others) in it, so I had expected to be laughing the entire time. Unfortunately, this wasn't the case. There are a few funny spots, but most of it is just boring dialogue. If you go expecting to see a movie that was well done from a technical standpoint (cinematography, etc.) you will be fairly pleased. But, if you go expecting to see a good comedy, you'll be disappointed. I'm glad it only cost me $2.75. --Dave Curry pur-ee!davy
