I loved it, and it's crazy, since I'm not a Chris Elliott's fan at all!
I believe the best thing about this movie is that it doesn't allege some things that it doesn't have, or bigger than it already owns.
It's solid simple fun. The naive atmosphere worked perfectly. The idiot gags looked smart. Sometimes, it's the most cynical kids' fantasy. Sometimes, it's a close spoof of (Jason and The Argonauts - 1963). And all the time, it's some fine comics.
Surprisingly, (Melora Walters) looked super cute. The sailors' team delivered so right performance. Nothing was over the top, or goofy in a bad way. All the elements harmonized to make the jest good. It even managed to be a story about a boy turning into a man along the way too.
This kind of comedies used to be twisted, disgusting, poor, or easy, whatever. But Cabin Boy isn't any of that. It's joyful, yet in loyally childish way; which can be the secret of it indeed.
Unlike so many jests, this will live long.
