Kelsey Grammar's transition to the big screen is far from seamless. Full Review |
||
 |
It's good-natured, innocuous frivolity that should raise a few smiles and generate good but not great spring box office. Full Review |
||
|
|
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. Full Review |

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

Rather lame. Full Review |

"Police Academy" underwater. (If only...)

|
2/5 |
It's embarrassing to see Lauren Holly wasting her time as the butt-of-all-the-obvious-jokes female aboard ship. Full Review |
||
|
|
It is a pretty decent plot that gives everyone a chance to be silly. Full Review |

Why give someone who has a genuine skill for understated, intelligent comedy a highly unfunny script that's both overly obvious and stupid? Full Review |

|
2.5/4 |
Some of this is silly and dumb as jokes fall flat. But there are also some laughs to be had. Full Review |
