Pros: This is a real pick-me-up! Cons: None that I can think of.
Oh, what do you do with a misfit Captain? What do you do with a misfit crew? What do you do with a diesel submarine? Beat the Navy’s Atlantic Fleet! (sung to the tune of “What do you do with a drunken sailor?”)
Put together a misfit crew, a...

Pros: Only 90 minutes long Cons: You'll never make it through
Even the best comic actor is at the mercy of his or her material, as this subpar submarine comedy proves. Down Periscope stars Kelsey "Frasier" Grammer as an inept Navy captain who is given command of his own ship as part of a corrupt...

Pros: Great Cast, very funny- will keep you smiling Cons: Might not be suitable for very young children
1996 was a good year for comedy. Nathan Lane and Robin Williams gave us The Birdcage. Austin Powers became everyone’s favorite man of mystery. And Kelsey Grammer turned a rag tag bunch of Navy misfits into an elite submarine team in Down Periscope. ...

Pros: A laugh riot with teachable moments. Cons: None
As a Navy veteran, I avoided this movie for years because trailers made it appear to be a waste of time. Fellow mom said her kids loved it, so I agreed to watch it. After viewing, this movie is now one of my top 10 favorites. We own it on VHS and DVD. ...

Pros: Terrific acting and very funny Cons: None
This is one of my favorite movies. The acting is terrific and this movie makes fun of everything you can think of to make fun of in the Navy. Don't get me wrong, I love the Navy, but this was just hilarious. It takes place on a submarine in the middle...

Pros: Funny! Cons: None.
Kelsey Grammar kept me laughing during this movie. The
plot was basic, good guy versus bad guy, but after seeing
U571 the week before, it was nice to see a funny sub movie.
It was much better than the previews I had seen, and I wish ...
