As most of the time, I expected nothing out of Pirates when I first saw it because I hadn't followed the hype at all. I was pleasantly surprised. I also liked the second one, though I liked the first part better - it was as zany, but didn't feel as contrived as PotC2. Though I have to admit that I liked the cuddly sea monsters.

I saw the 2005 version of Mel Brooks' 'The Producers' only recently, and I'm still laughing .
