"One of the 50 Coolest Websites...they simply tell it like it is" - TIME
Captain Ron | 1992 | PG-13 | - 4.3.5
Martin Short and Mary Kay Place star as well-meaning parents who hire mercurial Captain Ron (Kurt Russell) to take their boat to Miami where it can be sold.
SEX/NUDITY 4 - A man is often bare-chested (he wears his shirt open when he wears one), and we see him in bikini-style swim-wear and briefs. As for women, lots of cleavage shots, bikini tops, etc. A man and woman are in the shower, obviously nude; we get a top view and a pretty clear glimpse of her chest through the shower door, and bare behinds. A man goes off with a girl, into the water, and though it's obvious what he's got in mind, we see no "real" sex scenes.

VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - A man gets guns pulled on him by the guerrillas which he later needs to transport (the guerrillas that is). When the Cubans get mad, they go after the boat with machine guns, lots of shots fired, but no one is hurt. A man fires shots at another.
LANGUAGE 5 - The F-word is uttered, along with several scatological references and mild obscenities.
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Drinking, premarital sex, stealing.
MESSAGE - Being spontaneous is better than being uptight.
CAVEATS
Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.
We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.
Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
