About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a scruffy, early-’90s road chase with a rough-around-the-edges heart and family themes, like Fast Getaway; Not for you if you need consistent laughs or a fully believable story.
Pros: strong lead performance; sweet family message; fun road-movie energy | Cons: uneven comedy; muddled, implausible plot; annoying kid moments
