Take the first Pirates of the Caribbean film, add a dash of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and a lot more rum. Shake well and you'll have something resembling Dead Man's Chest, a bombastic sequel that's enjoyable as long as you don't think too hard about it. The film opens with the interrupted wedding of Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley), both of whom are arrested for aiding in the escape of Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) in the first film. Their freedom can only be obtained by getting Captain Jack's compass, which is linked to a key that's linked to a chest belonging to Davy Jones, an undead pirate with a tentacle face and in possession of a lot of people's souls.

Leslie Nielsen has certainly given us some funny movies, look at the Naked Gun series..and his foray into comedy after years of serious roles certainly endeared him to those of us who like our comedy a little corny and offbeat. However, as years have gone by, Nielsen has merely called in performances in some really impotent comedies, this one included. Blame director James Keach for some of it; his pacing is so slow, it can't come anywhere near the airplane and naked gun movies. While I have admired Lochlyn Munro's performances in some recent films (the Scary Movie ripoffs, Blacktop), he doesn't possess the comic verve necessary to carry the weight of this movie.
