Scott's Review:
3.5 out of 5 stars on April 17, 2002

I really wasn't expecting to enjoy this movie when I sat down and watched it.

I was pleasantly surprised.

I'm not going to argue it's one of the great comedic masterpieces of our time. It is a fun ride though. There are enough scenes in this movie that made me laugh out loud that I really enjoyed watching it.

It's actually very similar to what I remember of Cannonball Run, a race across America for little or no reason. The movie ends up being a few little sub movies for the different actors, so several different comedy styles are shown, and they work really well in this movie. I could have dealt with less of the Lucy scenes, but otherwise it's a real fun movie.
