Movie Reviews

User Review - 10/10 by Leonetta SOne of those great little films from the 60s with laughs and music. Tony Randell is a marine biologist who decides to move his family into their new house... underwater. At the same time, his kids are trying to cut a demo tape to make it big in the music business.
User Review - 10/10 by AL LI'm thinking about getting one of these for my guests.
User Review - 8/10 by Thor RThis movie has an excellent cast and an interesting story, but it gets way too silly sometimes especially the songs. For the most part it's funny, though. Overall I enjoyed it, and if you like funny and interesting movies check it out.
User Review - 8/10 by libby hthis was amovie with richard dryfuss as a youth that he and family live in aquadome back in 60s tony randall was the father family clean fun..
User Review - 6/10 by Paul MI LOVED THIS MOVIE!!! It's a pretty mindless family-film about a family whose father, a scientist/engineer/businessman, builds a home UNDERWATER, out in the Pacific, and moves his entire family there. It's a late 60's bit, so one of the kids has a rock band, and they get to practice underwater by way of submarine---that's how the kids get their friends down to visit them. And somehow, this set-up thwarts a group of Russian spies or something like that. In any event, I had lots of fun with this one!
User Review - 6/10 by Jeremy SThis movie was so cool when I was a kid, and today I still think its fun to watch.
User Review - 6/10 by Shelly Vone of my favorite movies from the 60's rediscovered, I still love it!
User Review - 6/10 by James H5.5/10. Silly and very corny 1960's comedy, but oddly likeable. The cast is good and so interesting to see a very young hippie Richard Dreyfuss. It plays like a Disney film from the era. Diverting.
User Review - 4/10 by Ralph RStupid, it's a shame to see talented performers trapped in junk like this!
User Review - 4/10 by Paul F[i]Hello, Down There[/i] is the sort of movie I really, really, really should love. It's an obscure film with an unbelievable plot, an all-star cast, garish colors, and '60s pop music by Jeff Berry, the man who wrote all the music for the Archies, directed by Jack Arnold, the man behind [i]This Island Earth[/i] and the amazing [i]High School Confidential[/i]. I'd been wanting to see it for years, but Paramount had essentially left it to rot in movie limbo--until now, when it suddenly shows up on DVD. Expectations may have been a little high, but still... Look, I'll describe it. You'll see that, on paper, it sounds incredible. Tony Randall and Janet Leigh play the parents of a brother and sister that play in "Harold and the Hang-Ups," a pop band headed by mop-haired Richard Dreyfuss. Randall's boss (Jim Backus!) has spent loads of money on Randall's latest engineering project, an underwater house with all the amenities, but isn't convinced that it will work, so he sends Randall's family down to live there for a month. They're joined by the band, but curiously, not their housekeeper, the constantly-drinking Myrtle, played by Charlotte Rae. It's a good thing, too, because Myrtle's their only contact to the outside world when teen millionaire Roddy McDowall takes a shine to the Hang-Ups music thanks to his pop-sensation-reactor-computer and gets them a gig on the Merv Griffin show. Will the band make it to Merv in time? Will Janet Leigh overcome her fear of water to live underground? Will Randall's rival Ken Berry and his assistant Arnold Stang find gold underwater? And what about those sharks circling the underwater house? There's loads about [i]Hello, Down There[/i] that should be instantly appealing. There's a pet seal and multiple dolphins floating around. There's a great pallette that consists only of prime colors which makes the thing look great on DVD. There's loads of goofy technology that makes the average "Jetsons" episode look well-researched. There's the all-star cast flopping around and tripping over themselves constantly. There's the Hang-Ups songs, which consists of ditties like "Glub, Glub, Glub/I'm floating on a sea of love." Camp classic, right? Undiscovered knuckleheaded masterpiece, right? Not quite. See, the jokes that are there aren't any good--there's not really a single genuinely witty gag in the entire film, and no matter how much overacting anyone in the cast does (which is plenty), they can't disguise that. Even worse, there's not enough lousy gags in the film--it's mostly the same ones repeated endlessly. It's stupid enough to make [i]Slam Dunk Ernest[/i] look like [i]Manhattan[/i], and most of the jokes just involve, well, people falling down. Usually into water. It's also got sub-plots that go nowhere, like a nearby navy submarine picking up sonar signals every time the band plays. It still looks great, sure, and the music is fun--the first time you hear it. By the third rendering of "Glub, Glub, Glub," you're ready to go back to 1967, find Jeff Berry and strangle him until he promises not to write music for the next ten years. And while you're at it, make him promise not to write the "Family Ties" theme song. In the end, the best thing I can say about [i]Hello, Down There[/i] is that it's a cheerfully optimistic, brilliantly garish piece of knuckleheaded tripe. I'm a big fan of enjoyable low-I.Q. movies, but this couldn't provide entertainment to Terry Schiavo, and at 97 minutes, it's way too long. In a sad, desperate way, it's enjoyable due to the cast, but it's really even too stupid for me. And that's pretty stupid.
