Reviews

The New York Times -
Leaky PT boat of a comedy, descended from the television series.

|
Variety -
Time and adapters have not been kind to the fun-loving series.

|
Los Angeles Times -
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.

TV Guide Magazine -
This shotgun marriage of coarse laughs and low-rent action cliches is, of course, utterly predictable: Cutting-edge comedy isn't lurking under the corpses of old TV shows.

Chicago Sun-Times -
McHale's Navy is an astonishingly bad film. Even if you never saw the early '60s TV series on which it is loosely based, you'll hate it. [18 Apr 1997, p.39]
