Down Periscope DVD   20th Century Fox

Kelsey Grammer sails from TV's "Frasier" to the big screen in this screwball coemdy co-starring Lauren Holly and Rip Torn. Veteran skipper John Dodge (Kelsey Grammer) will never be a textbook officer, but he's a brilliant seaman who's always wanted to command a nuclear submarine. Instead, he's given the helm of the Stingray, a diesel-powered World War II sub crewed by a collection of maladjusted, mistake-prone misfits (Lauren Holly, Rob Schneider, Harry Dean Stanton), then ordered to take on the U.S. Navy's best in a crucial war game. Batten down the hatches for unsinkable hilarity that takes 200 years of naval tradition and throws it all overboard!
