Plot Summary
Set sail on a hilarious voyage to outrageous adventure as Tom Arnold, Debra Messing, David Alan Grier, Dean Stockwell, Tim Curry and Oscar® winner Ernest Borgnine (the original McHale in a madcap cameo appearance) take to the high seas in this laugh-packed, big screen adaptation of the wildly popular 60's television series. Arnold stars as laid-back retired Naval Lieutenant Commander Quinton McHale, whose days of leisure are jeopardized when his former nemesis Major Vladikov (Curry) unexpectedly surfaces with a scheme that threatens his beloved Caribbean island base. Returning to uniform, McHale, assisted by Penelope Carpenter (Messing), his lovely, fun-loving First Lieutenant, guides his crazy crew of misfits through a series of madcap maneuvers that has the enemy scrambling for cover and the audience roaring with delight!

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: Leaky PT-boat of a comedy.
Rotten: A ham-fisted, fitfully amusing lark that quickly runs aground.
Rotten: By the end, this soporific comedy makes 105 minutes feel more like a two-year hitch.
Rotten: Suitable only for movie-goers who have undergone frontal lobotomies.
Customer Reviews
Gloriously Goofy
This is not an intelligent movie, nor does it pretend to be. It's a screwball comedy with Tom Arnold and an all-star cast of some of the finest minds in slapstick humor. Don't watch because it's smart or makes or point. Watch this movie because you want to indulge and just break down laughing.
Funny, uncomplicated movie.
Excellent. Just plain excellent.
