5.0 out of 5 stars WANTED! DVD, March 6, 2006

Arthur R. Valencia "artvalenca" (Exeter, California United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Don't Go Near the Water [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This film deserves a DVD release. A very funny WW2 movie where a Navy PR Unit believes going to the front is the most grevious punishment to give out to any of their members. And the taking on the building of their own Officers Recreation Hall has lots of laughs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Farragut Jones..., September 1, 2010

MiamiSilvio - See all my reviews

This review is from: Don't Go Near the Water [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This movie was a "fav" of mine growing up, especially the story line about the typical US Navy sailor, Farragut Jones, that this PR unit wants to sell warbonds or something. Turns out he is anything but. The man has a salty mouth and the director made great use of a fog horn! "the Ankletooth is a great ship...that's a #@&#&! lie". A classic...someone HAS to put this out on DVD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome movie!!, November 23, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Don't Go Near the Water [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I first saw this movie when I was a kid. Now, 20 years later, I still love it! The dialogue is so clever and the actors' delivery makes it even more so! The jokes have never lost their appeal even though I can quote the entire movie! A definite must-see for comedy-lovers!

Another example of Hollywood adopting a good book and turning out a poor movie. If you want something to entertain you for a few hours, buy the book instead.

I have watched this movie on VHS for years. It truly needs to be on DVD. I remember seeing it at the drive=in when I was a child. If you want a good laugh this is a great movie.
