All I can think is that the critics had cat pee in their coffee. We were looking for a light comedy after a horrible week and this was purrfect (pun intended). It was amazingly lighthearted and fun for something with such potentially dire consequences. The plot was predictable as was the moral, but it's a family film. If adults aren't smarter than ten year olds, we've done something wrong. The film had a few clever moments and bits, I was never bored. Probably partly because they got Kevin Spacey and CHRISTOPHER WALKEN in a kids film! WALKEN was wonderful. My only critique is that I would have liked a longer denouement. I'd wager money that the original script had a father son moment at the end that was cut. A shame. I also would have liked to see what happened to the board. If you want a family friendly, or just a giggler, go for it and ignore the bored elitist reviews. ;-)
I'm really surprised to see such a low average. In my mind, it's Steven Segal's best film, and it's an excellent action movie. It moves at a great pace, the plot is not too trite or unoriginal, especially for the time, and most of it was believable. It's a great popcorn movie!
In short, Steven Segal is the captains friend For some reason he's working as ship's cook Something he's good at, but he's been demoted- I don't recall if we ever found out explicitly why, there's some talk of him getting in trouble, but I don't think they tell us the detail. A surprise party goes wrong, so there's a pretty girl involved when everything goes to heck.

Wasn't perfect but no pilot is. Really enjoyed the show, we found it exciting, fast paced, without too much exposition or clumsy explaining. Liked what felt like some fairly realistic situations, hope they give the chance.
Loved seeing Eamonn Walker. he was a favorite actor I hope they give him a good chance to shine.
My only concern with an ensemble cast is not getting enough character development and interest to keep the show going at the beginning before it gets to sink in and develop a stable audience.
And really enjoyed seeing something set in somewhere other than New York or Los Angeles!!
