Plot Summary
What "Airplane!" is to the skies and "Police Academy" is to the streets, this is to the seas. This wacky send-up of the U.S. Navy is filled with hilarious gags and humorous situations as the crew of the U.S. Sub Standard sets out on a secret mission to set the Soviet sub Pink November on its rudder. Given the inept antics of the crew and the fact that the brass at home wants them to fail, the submarine may be out to sea permanently. Starring Bill Pullman ("While You Were Sleeping," "Independence Day"), Wendy Schaal ("Innerspace," "The Burbs") and Ned Beatty ("Roseanne," "Superman").

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: A married therapist (Roger Rees) and his dominatrix (Geno Lechner) attempt a real-world romance with predictably strained results.
Rotten: At times, inchoate ideas (emotional wounds hurt deeper than physical pain?) threaten to congeal into an actual theme, but that turns out to be, like the rest of the film, a drawn-out tease.
Rotten: The feature directorial debut of 65-year-old Eric Werthman, who has been a practicing psychotherapist for a quarter of a century. If you're not already seeing a shrink, Mr. Werthman, may we suggest that you start immediately.
Rotten: Going Under is mustier than Secretary.
