- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Down Periscope makes a surprisingly successful launch, with plenty of brisk one-liners and a promising set-up. But after that auspicious opening, it sinks"
-
"A routine, mildly funny service comedy."
-
"If 'Down Periscope' has the ingredients for a lively spoof (...) they are slapped together so crudely that nothing gels"
-
"There are occasional laughs, but, as with most movies that think they're funnier than they actually are, most of the jokes fall flat."
-
This is amiable enough and perhaps one shouldn’t expect anything more from the team that brought you Police Academy (...) What really lets this down, though, is the uninspired plot and one-dimensional characters."
