Critics' reviews

"No originality, no memorable characters, no comic timing, and no good jokes equal no fun for the audience."

Russell Smith: Austin Chronicle
"It's even less funny than it sounds. By the end, this soporific comedy makes 105 minutes feel more like a two-year hitch."

Mick LaSalle: San Francisco Chronicle
"An astonishingly bad film. Even if you never saw the early '60s TV series on which it is loosely based, you'll hate it"

Chicago Sun-Times
"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."

TV Guide
"'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."

John Anderson: Los Angeles Times
"Not funny, suspenseful, moving or even offensive enough to want to torpedo. Just devoid of any conceivable value."

Liam Lacey: The Globe and Mail
"A damp squib of a movie."
