Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
2003
When a ruptured water main creates an enormous sinkhole right in front of Bob's Burgers, it blocks the entrance indefinitely and ruins the Belchers’ plans for a successful summer. While Bob and Linda struggle to keep the business afloat, the kids try to solve a mystery that could save their family's restaurant. As the dangers mount, these underdogs help each other find hope and fight to get back behind the counter, where they belong.

"Bob" and "Linda" are facing ruin. Their burger restaurant isn't paying it's way and when the bank manager gives them a week to repay their business loan, or lose all their kitchen equipment - things look bleak! Not so bleak as they look the next morning after a great sink hole has appeared outside of their restaurant. Luckily, though, in best "Passport to Pimlico" (1949) tradition, their daughter "Louise" is mucking about near the hole and falls in. Treasure? No, not quite - a skeleton which turns out to be the body of a long lost "Carnie", and a murdered one at that. A quick police investigation leads to the arrest of their landlord and local grandee "Fischoeder" on a murder charge. Maybe because "Louise" always sports a pink bunny-eared hat, but she smells a rat, and together with her siblings "Tina" and "Gene" sets off to get to the truth before the family loses it's livelihood. Perhaps I just didn't get the memo, but this is not very good. It is a sort of "Scooby Do" meets a "Carry On" affair, that relies for the most part on some pretty infantile humour, some curiously drawn - chinless - animations and the odd song. Certainly, the dialogue is quickly paced but it's hardly ever funny, and I really struggled to remain engaged after about twenty minutes. Perhaps I need my humour to be a little more sophisticated, less puerile and maybe not so prone to stereotype. Sorry - this just wasn't for me.
