“The Funniest Story of High-Seas Hilarity Ever to Set Audiences Adrift in Helpless Hysteria!”

Comedy

The Navy expects a veteran to pay for the ship he commanded, as they have no record of its return.

VIBE

This is a delightful, propulsive romp through bureaucratic absurdity with a charmingly farcical tone. Expect witty dialogue and classic physical comedy as a man tries to solve an impossible, hilarious problem. It's a feel-good, nostalgic escape.
