Hugh Grant stars as the ambitious, but equally inexpert, Pirate Captain. With a rag-tag crew of amateur pirates at his side, and seemingly blind to the odds stacked against him, the Captain has one dream: to defeat his rivals, Black Bellamy (Jeremy Piven) and Cutlass Liz (Selma Hayek), and win the Pirate of the Year Award.

It’s a quest that takes its audience from far-flung tropical islands to the streets of 19th century London. Along the way, they team up with a young Charles Darwin (David Tennant), and battle the diabolical Queen Victoria (Imelda Staunton), but never lose sight of what pirates love most, adventure.

John DeFore, of The Hollywood Reporter, writes, “The Pirates Band of Misfits is a delightful romp whose varied pleasures should please kids all along the age spectrum. An easy sell at the box office.”

The Pirates! Band of Misfits will be released on April 27.
