This film recently won Festival Choice at the 2006 Phoenix Film Festival. I was partially skeptical when I entered the theater, preparing to find the film demeaning to those who love pirates. I was pleasantly surprised to be drawn into the movie and found myself caring for the success of the characters.

E.R. Nelson should be commended for tackling a "water movie" as his first feature film and being successful with the story line. Those of you familiar with the Great Salt Lake may find some of the scenes especially funny, including the natural aspects of the environment.

If you ask why I gave this movie and 9 out of 10, the reason is at the end and I don't want to give away the ending. I just wish there could have been a little bit more.

All right you insecure excuse for men. Yes, Depp's character was unconventional, but Depp added real depth to it. Obviously those of you questioning your own sexuality had a problem the sayshaying of a swashbuckling pirate. Depp's character of Sparrow was magnificent. The character's layers were wonderfully teased at and by the end of the movie, I was wishing I was the love of Captain Jack Sparrow instead of the Black Pearl, much to the dismay of my husband. It is a wonderful movie. I have seen it three times already and plan on seeing again. I just love men in boots carrying swords. They make me swoon.
