Released year Down Periscope is one of my all-time favorite comedies, I have loved this movie from the first time I watched it. Is it the best comedy ever made? Of course not. The movie like any other movie does have its flaws and that is to be expected. The critics said the movies energy was too low for it being a comedy, that it needed flair, the comedy does not really amount to much. Personally, I have always enjoyed the movies pace and humor.
Whether or not you find a movie funny is much like if you like or dislike a movie, it is all subjective. What one person finds funny someone else may not. I have never been a fan of comedies where the humor of the movie is so over the top and so outrageous that I am not sure if I am to laugh or not.
There are a few Jim Carrey movies that fit that bill for me, not all his movies, just a few. When I think about Down Periscope, fun is the only word that comes to mind. I love the cast; I enjoy the plot no matter how basic some may find it and it makes me laugh every time. There are not a lot of movies that I can say that about, but Down Periscope is one. With a crew that consists only of weird guys and a gal , he's headed against the atomic powered USS Orlando, with the mission to destroy a dummy battleship.
A rusty sub. A rebel commander. A renegade crew. When destiny called, they should have hung up. Rated PG for some crude language. Did you know Edit.

Maybe it's the whole tongue in cheek attitude this film took toward the military and the good ol'boy system which seems to encompass within the ranks.
Or maybe the military is too much of a sacred institution to make fun of yeah right! Nonetheless, I felt the film was funny in many parts, despite the rather improbably ending and premise. However, this film did have a great collection of comics who have their own little quirky following.
Macy all gave solid performances, reciting their lines with a great amount of wit. And to note, Lauren Holly looked ravishing with her natural blonde hair which was a shock, considering I had only seen her in red up to that point.
