 "Welcome Aboard" February 9, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
For the Navy this is a test of defenses. For Lieutenant Commander Thomas 'Tom' Dodge (Kelsey Grammer) this is a test of mettle. For Lieutenant Emily Lake (Lauren Holly) it is a test of form. And for each of the crew it is the test of only that which they are capable of performing.
Yes now in the days where anyone can get his or her hands on low tech equipment, such as diesel subs, is our high tech defenses ready. Look what happened to Argentina when their submarine broke?
Rear Admiral Yancy Graham (Bruce Dern) is betting his reputation of the readiness if the Navy and will go to any length to make sure the intrusion test fails.
Now that you know the story, It's not the contest but how the people interact under stress. They did not let any submarine cliche out of this picture. Even the nervy "lets see what depth this will take" scene.
Look for my three favorite scenes:
When Admiral Graham is welcomed aboard he looks and says "What is that supposed to mean!"
Lieutenant Lake being almost out of uniform.
Executive Officer Martin Pascal is forced to walk the plank.

Funny movie, must have for all comedy fans! January 18, 2008
Down Periscope is a great gem of a movie, one of Kelsey Grammar's shining moments, in my opinion. It is a captivating movie full of humor and something that any comedy fan would enjoy. I am happy to finally replace my old VHS of it!
 very funny ! December 26, 2007
My husband (52) and our son (13) laughed thier butts off.It's about a sub full of misfits playing war games with a ego maniac admiral. Let the games begin!
