A family in Chicago inherits a yacht, 'The Wanderer', formerly owned by Clark Gable.
They decide to sail it from the island of St. Pomme de Terre, to Miami.
They sail with the assistance of Captain Ron and their little holiday turns into more than they bargained for....
This is one of those films that I always wanted to see as a teenager. It was never released theatrically here, and I believe my rental store only ever had one copy, so I had to wait over twenty years for the pleasure.
and it's so not the film I thought it was.
Russell is great as the titular character, all Plissken and Gabriel Cash, whenever he is on the screen, the film is hilarious, it's just the family have no dynamic, and spend the majority of the film moaning and looking miserable.
I know CR is supposed to vex Martin Short, but he whines from the moment his character is introduced.
The locations are wonderful, and it goes along at a fast pace, but I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would, maybe I left it a little too late.
and I was really surprised by the nudity and foul language. I'm no prude, but it really threw me.
Shame the film didn't.
