Description:
Kelsey Grammer sails from TV's 'Frasier' to the big screen in this screwball comedy co-starring Lauren Holly and Rip Torn. Veteran skipper John Dodge (Grammer) will never be a textbook officer, but he's a brilliant seaman who's always wanted to command a nuclear submarine. Unfortunately, Admiral Graham (Bruce Dern) would rather sink the fleet than give Dodge his own boat. So Dodge is given the helm of a diesel-powered WW2 sub crewed by a collection of maladjusted, mistake-prone misfits. Then he's tagged 'the enemy' in a crucial war game, and ordered to take on the U.S. Navy's best. Batten down the hatches for unstoppable hilarity that takes 200 years of naval tradition¿and throws it all overboard!

Kelsey Grammer stars as the captain of a rust-bucket submarine who is fighting for his career by proving his skills in a contest against far more sophisticated ships. Rob Schneider provides comic support as an uptight ensign, and Lauren Holly plays an officer who has to fight her own will-they-accept-me-because-I'm-a-woman anxieties. The film didn't do well at the box office, but it is actually pretty funny, Grammer is enjoyable, and the above-the-water/below-the-water action sequences are as good as any in most submarine films. --Tom Keogh

A great way to relax and have a good laugh. The Captain and his assorted mixed-bag of crew members come together during the ensuing mock trials of securing entrance into two 'guarded' Atlantic Naval Bases with an 'outdated rust-bucket' of a submarine. While a 'higher ranking' officer tries to prevent this happening, the Captain has been given directions to "think like a pirate" by a still higher ranked officer. Highly recommend this movie for a sit-down-popcorn evening with family or friends.

I loved this movie, and find myself watching it over and over. It was very funny, far better than the so-called box-office hits. Down periscope is simple humor full of fun. Don't forget 9-11, showed us that the "That could never happen", can.
Lt Commander Dodge, and his very misfit crew, out manuver his former skipper, that gave him a review that would have ended his (Cdr. Dodge's)career. It has vilians in Bruce Dern, and in some ways Dodge's own XO, portrayed by Rob Schiender and heroes ... Read More

We've enjoyed this movie on Television, so desired it for our library. Of course the DVD is unedited compared to the Television version. What was left out could stay out and not affect the movie.
