Some singers (or athletes, or dancers, etc.) are able to take on the acting profession because they seem to have a natural charisma for the screen: Kenny Rogers is not one of them. He never shows any particular acting talent, and the young, beautiful Diane Lane completely overshadows him.
Anyway, this is an inconsequential comedy that knocks-off both "Rocky" and "Smokey and the Bandit", and is rather UNsuitable for kids (12-year-old boys hold real guns and swear like characters from a Tarantino film, a 17-year-old girl sexually seduces a "dirty old man", and there are also bloody beatings). At least the racing footage is good.....(**)
