Critic Reviews

Stephen Holden

Leaky PT boat of a comedy, descended from the television series. Read full review

Leonard Klady

Time and adapters have not been kind to the fun-loving series. Read full review

John Anderson

Although it comes under the increasingly crowded category of Why Did They Bother, McHale's Navy does offer an example of a movie that tries to be all things to all people. As long as they're 13 and male. Read full review

Empire Staff (Not Credited)

A damp squib of a movie. Read full review

Steven Rea

If the '60s sitcom McHale's Navy was a poor man's Sergeant Bilko, the new big-screen McHale is a poverty-stricken, starving-to-death, brain-dead person's answer to last year's not-so-hot Steve Martin movie, Sgt. Bilko. [19 Apr 1997, p.D08]

Liam Lacey

Not funny, suspenseful, moving or even offensive enough to want to torpedo. Just devoid of any conceivable value. [19 Apr 1997, p.C13]

Mick LaSalle

It's even less funny than it sounds. By the end, this soporific comedy makes 105 minutes feel more like a two-year hitch. Read full review
