It’s time for another Family Movie Night viewing courtesy of Flyby Promotions. As always, this review is based upon our personal opinions about the movie.
Munchkin and I watched the first Mickey Matson movie, The Adventures of Mickey Matson and the Copperhead Treasure, some time ago, but we realized last month that Daddy had never seen the movie. Since we were looking for a fun movie for family movie night, we decided that this time we would watch it with Daddy. It had been long enough since the last viewing that Munchkin and I had forgotten exactly how the movie played out. It was a fun viewing, and we were pleased to see that a new Mickey Matson movie was soon to be released on dvd.
In the newest Mickey Matson movie, we meet back up with Mickey and his best friend Sully roughly a 1.5 years after the first movie. They’ve been living ordinary lives as they waited to hear from the SOP about new missions. Suddenly, they are thrust into a new mission after being introduced to a special training facility. Mickey is shocked by who he meets at the training facility, but he doesn’t have much time to digest the information before he and Sully have to dive headfirst into their mission.
As with the first Mickey Matson movie, Pirate’s Code is filled with cheesy, funny moments that made us chuckle. It was well-made and entertaining. The actors did a great job in the film. The adventure is true to the original Mickey Matson movie style. Don’t expect a National Treasure level of entertainment, but it’s a good, clean movie for family movie night.
