Cmdr. Tom Dodge is not thought of very highly among his fellow Navy officers, so when he is assigned to helm an outmoded, diesel powered, rusty in a series of wargames, people don't expect much from him. Set on getting his underdog crew in line in order to win the event, Dodge must face off against his nemesis, Adm. Yancy Graham, who will do anything to see Dodge disgraced and finally kicked out of the Navy.

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

More laid-back here than he is on television, Grammer seems to barely break a sweat.

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

It's not exactly a bad movie, but it's so forgettable that it's almost exhausting.
January 01, 2000
The tone of the acting, which is set by Mr. Grammer's blandly laid-back performance, is all wrong for a genre that demands over-the-top hamming.

Exactly what you'd expect.
January 01, 2000
A soggy sub sandwich layered with cheesy action, stale jokes and gung-ho baloney.

Kelsey Grammar's transition to the big screen is far from seamless.
January 01, 2000
There are occasional laughs, but, as with most movies that think they're funnier than they actually are, most of the jokes fall flat.

Routine.

Some innuendo, profanity in mediocre slapstick comedy.

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.
