Yellowbeard

Yellowbeard is a late 70's or early 80's comedy with an incredible cast, a bunch of pirate ships and fake facial hair, and a completely nonsensical plot. Starring Graham Chapman, Eric Idle, John Cleese, Peter Boyle, Marty Feldman, Madeline Kahn, plus Cheech and Chong, the movie worth seeing just for the cast alone, but that's pretty much the only reason to recommend it.

Sometimes strong acting can overcome a stupid script. Horrible acting also has a way of doing this. Sadly, the cast is too good for the movie to slide into so bad it's good territory, but they don't seem to care enough to put in the effort it would take to make the script work, leaving Yellowbeard a collection of half-baked jokes from the least-funny member of Monty Python.

I would see this movie only if you are intrigued by the cast. I can't recommend it as either a good or bad movie.

Cost/Benefit analysis: I paid nothing to see this movie, but I got to see some people I hadn't in a while and I got a good free meal. I'd gladly do that again if I was watching a different, but just as bad movie but I hope I never have to see this movie again.
