Great Laffs

Rating: Null/10 (26 January 2001)

A Japanese sub off the coast of California looking for Hollywood so they can "blow the s**t out of something big". There's your plot.
Yeah, It's got some slapstick but this film cooks. It's sorta like a Murphy's Law about hysteria. What if everything went wrong? Could that happen? Yes! There's solid performances from everybody from the kid in the ferris wheel to Robert Stack (actually crying in a theatre while watching DUMBO). An intelligent piece of film work? No. But comedy doesn't have to be. M*A*S*H* it ain't, but it doesn't try to be either. Enjoy.
