This movie is not badly acted. But it is just boring.

The scale of the adventure might be undersized, but the lessons it holds and emotional impact of its ending are bigger than you can imagine.

Film on a fishing boat.

Captain Courageous is a nice film about a spoil kid who learns things by accidentally falling off a boat onto a rough fishing boat. It is a nice story about the boy leaning about various things from a nice fisherman and the captain of the ship. It tells the story of what happens on the boat and the interactions very well, and in a nice fashion. Although the material could be overly schmaltzy it never completely falls into such a pitfall. The ending might wrap things up a bit too neatly but it still is a nice film.
Oscar Win Best Actor Spencer Tracy 1/5- Although Tracy is nice and somewhat entertaining in this is does really do a good acting job. His accent does not stay around many times and his whole characterization is a bit off. This character surely could have been played better …
