...a sluggish comedy that slowly-but-surely squanders its raft of appealing, seemingly foolproof elements...

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 13, 2021

Far from feminist, though I enjoyed seeing so many men doing the cleaning. There are fun moments and Kelsey Grammer as the hapless new sub captain is rather good if not hapless enough. Bruce Dern and Rip Torn spar enjoyably, but it lacks actual jokes.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 9, 2018

Some innuendo, profanity in mediocre slapstick comedy.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 9, 2014

It's not exactly a bad movie, but it's so forgettable that it's almost exhausting.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Aug 21, 2014

Exactly what you'd expect.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 4, 2009

Kelsey Grammar's transition to the big screen is far from seamless.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 4, 2009

It's good-natured, innocuous frivolity that should raise a few smiles and generate good but not great spring box office.

he construction is so ramshackle (or the mood so PC) that the film-makers put a woman (Holly) on board, then can't find a thing to do with her.

Routine.

Mediocre comedy. Like a SNL film but with Frasier instead.

Rather lame.

A directionless and doomed diversion. Grammer's naval military mishap is a sinking ship both literally and figuratively
