Pros: Great Cast, very funny- will keep you smiling
Cons: Might not be suitable for very young children
Summary: 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. ... read more

Pros: This is a real pick-me-up!
Cons: None that I can think of.
Summary: 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?”)

Pros: Funny!
Cons: None.
Summary: Kelsey Grammar kept me laughing during this movie. The
plot was basic, good guy versus bad guy, but after seeing

Pros: Only 90 minutes long
Cons: You'll never make it through
Summary: 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 ... read more
