Average Rating: 
Rating: - ...lowbrow humor, just what we need today...
Don't look for the cerebral in this comic farce about a submarine full of Navy misfits led by a true comedic chameleon, Mr. Kelsey Grammar.
Down Periscope is a lighthearted romp full of slapstick comedy, bodily function humor, and revenge, with some really good Naval strategy mixed in. "The Hunt for Red October" this is not...
...but what a great cast! Lauren Holly as the Navy's ONLY female dive officer (there's a lesbian joke somewhere in there, but I'll leave it alone), Grammar as the sub commander, Rob Schneider as his anal and perpetually "stick-up-his-butt" executive officer, not to mention Rip Torn in a much overlooked role as Grammar's Commanding Officer and his only (silent) fan and supporter. Bruce Dern also puts in a strong performance as one of Grammar's foes, the senior officer out to get him.
It's a great, funny, and good-feeling movie that I can't wait to own on DVD. I will watch it again and again...
Rating:  - Hurry with the DVD of this extremely funny movie!
I was really surprised that this movie received such mediocre views when it was first released. This movie is extremely funny in a silly sort of way, but without seeming stupid. This is one of the few comedies that I tend to watch over and over, and I am looking forward to when it will be released on DVD. If you're interested "Dave" with Kevin Kline is the other comedy I'll watch repeatedly. However, fitting in with the military comedy genre, I also recommend "Operation Petticoat" and "No Time for Sergeants"
Rating: - Great film, under-rated and worthy of a DVD (when?!)
This is without a doubt one of the funniest sea movies ever. Yet it got mediocre reviews when it came out. Kelsey Grammer plays a renegade sub captain who gets his first command not on a nuclear sub, but on a mothballed diesel rustbucket, destined for scrap after some wargames guaranteed to deep-six his naval career.But Captain Dodge (Grammer) has a lot of tricks up his sleeve. He even gets the best from his mutinous crew and by the pirate scene (priceless) I was pretty much slumped on the couch, laughing my keester off. We like this one so much we watched it twice in a row. Yeah, it's another submarine film (I can't resist them!) and this one is...HIGHLY RECOMMENDED--even if it's not yet on DVD.
