Product Description

From Amazon.com

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

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!

Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I received two DVD's of Down Periscope as one was a gift and the other for me. Neither of them work. so I am not impressed.
How do I return them and get my money back OR another DVD?????

Some of the "realities" of navy "games". Who been there, knows why. A nice funny navy story about team spirit. Enjoy

much better than McHale's navy May 29 2009
By falcon TOP 1000 REVIEWER
Format:DVD
i bought both this movie and McHale's Navy cheap at the same time.i
thought McHale's navy was pretty much a disaster.it's supposed to be
funny,but i didn't think so.Down Periscope is in a similar vein,but is
actually fairly funny at times.it's not great,but i did laugh on
occasion.Kelsey Grammar is the main star.Lauren Holly,Bruce
Dern,William H.Macy,Harland Williams,and Rip Torn also star,among
others.even Rob Schneider has a role,but he is actually funny here.of
course,he isn't the main character so that helps.along with some
laughs,there's also a bit of action and excitement.in the end the movie
turns out pretty decent.my vote for Down Periscope is a 3/5
