A campy, dumb mess, McHale’s Navy is yet another failed attempt to bring a ‘60s television show to the big screen. When the world’s second greatest terrorist sets up a base on a remote Caribbean island the US Navy recalls retired Lieutenant Commander Quinton McHale and has him put together a special ops team to investigate. The cast is packed with great comedic talent, including Tom Arnold, Dean Stockwell, Debra Messing, Tim Curry, and Bruce Campbell, but the performances are universally awful. The writing is also quite terrible; as all the jokes fall flat and the plot is incredible convoluted. McHale’s Navy is an out-of-control goofball comedy that doesn’t know when to let up.
