Sadly, a swing and a miss for everyone involved in this one. Unless you just love race movies, incredibly there are very little laughs to be had in this one.
There is a no rules coast-to-coast race going on. Even though the set up to the race is pretty bad. John Candy (who sadly is totally wasted) plays Charlie Cronan, who is given the chance to enter the race by Leo Ross (Eugene Levy). His passenger is the beautiful Donna Dixon. Peter Boyle plays Chief Spiro T. Edsel who is out to stop the race completely. Brainless and not really for anyone looking for a good comedy. Cast also includes Joe Flaherty, Tim Matheson and incredibly even Lee Van Cleef. Written by Michael Short (brother of Martin). With a cast in this film you would expect it to be at least worth a watch, but I would suggest to stay away.
