Set sail for hilarity with the goofball comedy Down Periscope. When the Navy schedules a series of war games to see if a rogue vessel could breach their defenses, Lt. Cmdr. Tom Dodge is assigned an antiquated diesel sub and given a ragtag crew of misfits to attempt the impossible. Starring Kelsey Grammer, Lauren Holly, Rob Schneider, Bruce Dern, and Rip Torn, the film has a good cast that’s well suited for this style of slapstick humor. Still, the comedy gets a little too cartoonish at times and goes overboard with the silly antics of this pirate-esque group of sailors. But overall, most of the jokes work and deliver a boat load of laughs. While it can be juvenile and formulaic, Down Periscope is also entertaining and a lot of fun.

Der Film ist eher schlecht gealtert. Es gibt zwar ein oder zwei witzige Momente aber insgesamt kann der Humor bei mir nicht mehr so zünden. Man kann ihn mal gucken aber man verpasst auch nichts wenn man ihn nicht sieht.

EXCELLENT movie if you're one of those that loves "military fails" type of hilarity with a side of success when it counts.

I forgot how hot Lauren Holly was back in the 90s.Picket Fences was one of my favourite shows as a teen Lauren Holly as Deputy Sheriff was one of the reasons.
