Don't be deceived by the title of this movie. If you're expecting a rousing adventure yarn involving pirates and sailing the bounding main or perhaps a race against both time and baddies to retrieve a long-hidden hoard then you're going to be disappointed. Rather this is a much quieter affair centering around the efforts of a bunch of siblings to save their home and family from financial ruin. That being said, this is a very pleasant movie. It is British-made and so eschews the clichés you'd expect from a Hollywood-made flick and it stars some familiar and talented British actors. The plot is intelligent and, needless to say, the acting is excellent. It's all very low-key though and while it's definitely suitable for families, younger kids might find it a bit dull. Older kids will enjoy it though and, I'm pleased to say, their parents will too.
