About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a goofy, turn-off-your-brain road-race comedy packed with familiar faces and broad gags, similar to Smokey and the Bandit II or Stroker Ace; Not for you if you need sharp humor or a strong story.
Pros: all-star cast; breezy mindless fun; a few laughs | Cons: weak jokes; thin messy plot; racing barely shown
