Brian Haley, Bruce Campbell, Danton Stone

Fans of the early-'60s sitcom are naturally disappointed by this more juvenile approach to the old concept, which found Navy Captain McHale commanding a merry band of hustlers in the Pacific. Tom Arno...( read more  read more... )ld plays the updated title character, and while there's every reason he could have done a fine job, the script eschews the show's tone for something broader and dumber. A lost opportunity, all right, and the original McHale, Ernest Borgnine, appears to give it his blessing with a cameo as Pentagon brass. --Tom Keogh

    I saw this in the theater simply because Bruce was in it. They must have saw me coming.

    Why did I watch it, Bruce Campbell's in it. And he's not even in the poster billing. How did Tom Arnold become a top star of a movie? Sure he was good as the sidekick in True Lies, but that's it. However, BC is the only reason I give this movie a half star. It there was no stars,...( read more) this would be it. I don't even know how any joke in the first 30 minutes was intended to be funny. Surely, someone sitting in the room when the script was read or written realized that there was no joke to be had, right?

    The film has a good cast. And also a few good laughs but overall the story and comedy could be better.
