A family in Chicago faces a new destiny in their lives when they inherit the previously owned yacht of Clark Gable. All of them decided to sail together from the island of Saint Island. Pomme de Terre to Miami, they sail with the assistance of Captain Ron in a unique experience.
Director Eberhardt does nothing to elevate this from being anything other than a boring TV movie, and I'm sure if Kurt Russell wasn't in it, that's exactly where it would have premiered.
Captain Ron is a movie about trapped suburbanites who break out into romantic seas, but it never really leaves suburbia... Like the Cap'n himself, this movie guzzles up its dreams and ignores the busted engine.
