Pros and Cons of Films: Vol. 2 (130 movies items)"Pros: Robin Williams as Popeye The world building Shelly Duvall as Olive Oyl Paul L. Smith as Bluto Songs by Harry Nielsen Cons: The citizens of Sweethaven, are not exactly all that welcoming. It’s a place, that you don’t want to visit.

During a storm that wrecks his ship, Popeye washes ashore in the fishing village of Sweethaven and winds up rooming at the Oyl household, where he meets Olive. Before he can win her heart, he must first contend with Olive’s fiancé, Bluto. This is one of the first live-action movie adaptations of a cartoon and it isn't that good.

You know......for kids! (180 movies items)"A baby ends nearly being killed by a octopus, but hey he'll be all right in the end! Plus, I am alone in thinking that Sweethaven is a ironic name for the town in the film? Why not Crudtown? Or Depressberg?"
