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

Rating:  - Great entertainment
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.

Kelsey Grammer and crew fix up a decrepit submarine and attempt to beat the US Navy in wargames, successfully!
Fast paced, hysterical movie with a million laughs. Highly recommended!
Rating: - Really great comedy
Just terrific! I loved this movie when I first saw it on TV, just bought the DVD and it's even better, since you get to see the whole movie with nothing snipped to make room for commercials -- and of course the video quality is better than TV.
The disc is double-sided, full screen on side A and widescreen on side B.
Some reviewers here have complained bitterly that it isn't really widescreen, it's just "pan and scan" with the top and bottom cut off. That isn't true. Yes, the widescreen version is the same as the full screen version but with the top and bottom of the frame cut off -- that's the way many widescreen movies WERE MADE, folks! For example, ALL of Stanley Kubrick's movies after "2001: A Space Odyssey" were made this way. It isn't pan and scan. You're not missing any part of the original, you're seeing the full frame as it was before it was matted for theatrical showing.
It's the same as the "panorama" feature in many point-and-shoot 35mm cameras. The "panorama" mode doesn't really give you a wider angle of view, it just looks wider because the top and bottom have been cropped off and the photo is then printed on paper with a wider aspect ratio.
Not all widescreen movies are made this way, of course. But DVDs that are widescreen on one side and full screen on the other are usually if not always this way in my experience. "The Searchers" is another example. Compare the widescreen and full screen sides and you'll see the full screen side ... Read More
Rating:  - Clean Comedy and Fun
I like odd ball comedy and really enjoy this movie. Clean for the whole family to watch. If you enjoy St. Bilko you will like watching this one as well.
