Not as funny as its predecessor, nor as bad as its sequel. |
|
MIXED |
|
"The story's formula banality is credible most of the time and there's some good actual US Navy search and rescue procedure interjected in the plot." |
(Variety) |
|
"Hokey, but well managed." |
(Shipman) |
|
ANTI |
|
"Neither as riveting as it should be, nor as much fun as its absurd plotline would suggest." |
(Verina Glaessner, MFB) |
|
"Lee Grant's hilariously over-the-top performance is permanent evidence of the spontaneous laughter that is produced when the full weight and training of Method acting is brought to bear on a script that would hardly pass muster as a made-for-cable-TV movie." |
(Margulies & Rebello) |
