Editorial Reviews

In the best tradition of British comedy (Waking Ned Divine, Tight Little Island), Captain Jack is a story filled with pathos, self-deprecating humor and some outright lunacy about ordinary people doing extraordinary things. Bob Hoskins, a master of comedy, heads a superb cast.

Captain Jack (Hoskins) is an irascible and irresistible sea captain with a strong antipathy for authority, a fondness for the ladies and an obsession with his predecessor, Captain Scoresby, who sailed from England to the Artic in 1791. Incensed by greater respect for Captain Cook, Jack is determined to retrace Scoresbys 1,300 mile voyage and install a plaque in his heros honor.

He sets sail in a boat not considered seaworthy by the authorities with an oddball crew of nautical novices, all of whom have some reason to leave home port. For a voyage such as this, "success" could very well be the trip itself.

I don't care what the critics say. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. A simple plot but I smiled all the way through.

A real treat!

I don't usually give a movie 5 stars unless it has virtually no flaws. So here is a tale bursting with adventure, great acting, magnificent scenery and a bit of naturally occurring comedy (not forced) that combine to make this a memorable story.
Well done!

We really enjoyed this movie. Great story, based in truth, about regular people touting maritime authority and working together to accomplish a worthy sailing goal. We are lifelong boaters, so especially good for us.

Bob Hoskins never lets us down and, supported as he was by a decent crew of actors, made “Captain Jack” a pleasure. Sure, it was predictable and a little campy; and, no, it wasn’t profound, but I don’t think it was meant to be. It was fun to watch as the simple story unfolded. Just a good little movie without violence and profanity. It made me smile. What's wrong with that?

Buff

One of those films Bob Hoskins would do as a favor

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 13, 2020

Verified Purchase

Captain Jack was one of those small whimsical films which, in spite of an all-star cast, a script by a respected writer, and a veteran director who were all pulling together to make a low-budget gem that hoped to emulate the success of Four Weddings and a Funeral, failed to reach it's intended audience.

The story is set in Whitby and follows Bob Hoskins who plays a sailor that wants to sail to the arctic and so he assembles a crew of misfits for his epic excursion.

As well intended as Captain Jack is, the results just didn't live up to it's aspirations and is at times very cliched and insipid. But it does have some nice shots of Whitby and would make ideal Sunday morning viewing for older viewers.
