DVD Review: Great movie!
Summary: 5 Stars

I bought this for my husband for father's day since it was the movie we watched on our first date. It's funny and mostly clean. It does have a couple of choice words that I wouldn't feel comfortable having kids hear.

DVD Review: very good seller and product
Summary: 5 Stars

DVD Review: Guilty pleasure
Summary: 5 Stars

This movie is what I would call high quality entertainment.

In my house that means sort of the opposite. However, despite the name, we enjoy it despite the flaws. The comedy is basic, yet makes me laugh every time. What can I say, despite the fact that the movie isn't the least of which thought provoking, it's still nice to enjoy, even with the family around.

Description of Down Periscope

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
