Down Periscope (1996) | Radio Times
This is one of Kelsey Grammer's failed attempts to make an impression on the big screen. Here the Frasier star plays a useless submarine commander who will be kicked out of the navy unless he can train the hapless crew of a dilapidated sub how to outmanoeuvre the entire US fleet. The fact that director David S Ward has done this type of slapstick so many times before (Major League and its sequel; King Ralph) that he's run out of new ideas doesn't help, either. Still, Grammer tries his best, and he's well supported by the comic turns of Harry Dean Stanton, Bruce Dern, William H Macy and Rip Torn.
