    Kelsey Grammar trades in the sophisticated wit of Frasier and slums it in this lame submarine comedy that's basically Police Academy under the sea. One of those films I couldn't helping thinking "why on earth did anyone even bother to make the effort to make this film...?" Not of...( read more)fensive, but unbelievably pointless.

    As much as I liked Kelsey Grammer in Cheers, this movie was rather lame!

    Hilarious! This is a good movie with a great cast. Almost like classic Mel Brooks. Also highly recommended.

    The best submarine comedy made.

    This is a decent comedy. Stars Kelsey Grammer, Lauren Holly and William H.Macy. The film has some very funny moments. Plus a decent supporting cast in this. Worth maybe a one time watch.

    Not a great film by any definition of the word. But my brother was in the U.S. Navy as a submarine sailor for 12 years, and he says this is the closest to real life on a sub as he's seen in a film. The worst, most unrealistic sub film? The one he hates the most? Crimson Tide.
