Great cast, lots of laughs, and who would've thought a 2hour movie about rival used car lots would be as good as this? Well guess again! Quality 80s
I forgot how fun this movie was
It struggles to start its engine with a confusing premise and after the road bump of the first half an hour finally overcomed, you don't know if someone is driving the movie anywhere. But it's still going somehow, with broken brakes over cringey jokes while loosing pieces on every poor slapstick gags on which it impacts while zigzagging without any clue of a map towards the final act. Nonetheless, when you reach it, you realize that you care for this movie, you start to understand its weird nature and the characters don't seem anymore so crazy as you thought at first strike. Or maybe you've invested enough time at this point that you have to see where this is going and after the nausea of the first part your interest is revamped by the plot finally finding structure. Because meanwhile gags decrease in number, Deborah Harmon enters the stage refreshing the characterisation of the salesmen gang and Roy Fuchs becomes a real threat, super late considering that more than an hour is gone but somehow also on-time for the finale's build-up. There, everything is full-throttle and this old trembling chariot is dare enough to deliver also epicness going all-in. The movie ends and you don't know what to think about this ride apart that it wasn't a waste of time after all. It is a used and not well aged car but under its rust there's at least a heart.
At first I was like....oh this is very clearly by the same team behind 1941 because it features the same type of "humor." I'll admit though, I warmed up to this by the end. Probably due to the super impressive, stunt-filled chase at the end. There are a few moments of SUPER CRINGE because beloved icon and personal hero Kurt Russell says a handful of very 1980, very not-cool things. I was audibly groaning during the whole "I'll act how whatever race they are to sell them a car" scene. Oh and TWO women get their breasts grabbed for laughs. Oof.
In true 80s raunchy comedy fashion, it's very un-PC, and will probably offend a lot. But it's a good ole time. The antics are soo ridiculous and over-the-top, I don't know how anyone can get upset. You can tell cast are having a blast and it's infectious.
This was a fun little movie. Not much to it but that's alright sometimes. Kurt Russel carried this one.
One of the funniest movies ever
I really don't get the comedy genre classification... didn't even have to chuckle...

This is a very silly movie. A lot of good physical jokes. The commercials they made are pretty hilarious. Kurt Russell plays the sleazy used car salesman perfect.
