Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

UnowPriceless hyped garbage

Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

MovieKen I have to admit I only made it through the first 37 minutes of this movie before I realized it wasn't going to get any better. I probably could have watched the next 49 minutes, but I couldn't think of even one reason why I'd want to see any more of it. I don't like to review movies I haven't seen all the way through, but I felt a moral obligation to warn as many people as possible about this piece of junk.Please, do not watch this movie. The whole thing is only 86 minutes long, but it felt like it would go on forever. The script is terrible - I can't believe anyone even spent five minutes writing it. I'm sure I've seen worse acting someplace, but I can't remember where. The plot was horrible, and though it was supposed to be a comedy, I didn't laugh at anything because nothing was funny. This is an independent film, but don't be fooled. This is no Napoleon Dynamite. That movie was actually funny. Pirates of the Great Salt Lake should have been buried at sea before it was ever committed to film.

m2dad This movie lived up to all that I had heard about it. I took many members of my extended family to a special screening in Salt Lake. I did not tell any of them about the movie they would be screening in order to keep from influencing them with any hype. The movie came as a wonderful surprise to them all. I enjoyed hearing them laugh out loud throughout the whole movie. We had the pleasure also of meeting one of the stars Trent James, who graciously answered many questions we threw at him. I do hope a distribution deal will be struck soon so it will be released nationwide. I have no doubts that it will be a sleeper hit. You would have thought that Hollywood would have taken the hint from the success of Napoleon Dynamite as to the kinds of movies that American families are craving. This movie will appeal to even a wider audience than N.D.

SPAMkid In short: This is a great indie flick, and if I said anything more I'd give it away, so watch it yourselves ye scurvy dogs!In long: It's really hard for me to believe that a movie this good took six months to make from idea to post-production, it was really great. I loved the excellent characters and plot presented in the movie. The story is honestly funny with very few cheap gags, and the actors go over the top in a way that makes them genuinely believable. The film work was excellently done, and the locations that were chosen perfectly set the mood of the film. The whole movie just embodies the classic pirate feeling that pirate fanatics have come to cherish; it has cursed treasure, romance, thrills, conflict, and plenty of laughs throughout. I hate to compare it to something like Napoleon Dynamite, but there are definite similarities between the two, strictly in the sense that both are highly quotable and are destined to become cult classics. Really though, if you like pirates, you'll love this movie.

FreddieW This is hands down one of the craziest movies I have seen in a long time. It's everything I didn't suspect it would be and then some. I thought it would be some knock-off spoof, but I was surprised. I totally didn't see this coming.The plot is too far out there to describe, but it's basically a modern version of the Don Quixote story... though still very original. The idea is masterful, and the timing seems perfect. Well written (highly quotable!) and well paced, and the score is surprisingly epic for a low-budget indy. The acting is very strong. There seem to be obvious influences... I would say The Big Lebowski, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Napoleon Dynamite (it stars Trish!)... and it's all so funny.If there is any justice in this world, this film will find distribution. What else can I say. Go see it!
