The movie is based on the idea that Treasure Island was not fictional. This was discovered by two different people about the same time who battle for the treasure. Randy Quaid leads a group of kooky pirates who have to compete with the inept owner/operators of a kids' camp. The acting is pure ham. The kids are stereotyped into impossible characters. The script is bad and filled with slap stick and low brow humor including a horse with a gas problem. As always in kids movies, adults are stupid and kids must save the day. This film will work well with kids with a low maturity level, say under tweens, but would never be a good movie for teens or adults. Robert Louis Stevenson is rolling over in his grave
