6/10. Cannonballers. A person who participates in the annual race
called "The Cannonball Run". The Cannonball Run is one of the annual
movies that is broadly funny with a whole slough of stars.
One pair of two is J.J. and Victor (Burt Reynolds and Dom DeLuise), a
bumbling pack of two who use an ambulance for this cross-country
race. This means they need a patient, so they kidnap Pamela (Farrah
Fawcett). Other pairs include Sammy Davis, Jr. and Dean Martin as
priests, Roger Moore as a James Bond type character, and Jamie Farr
as a Shiek. Obviously there's not much plot, so just go along with
the flow.
Constantly throughout this movie, I was reminded of It's a Mad Mad
Mad Mad World, with groups going on a wild chase through the country,
except this time it's not hidden under a big "dubya". I laughed quite
a bit, but I wish they were lingering and the plot more sustaining. I
wasn't expecting more than this, which I guess is good.
Movies like this don't require much talking about, so I won't. See it
if you want a mildly funny ride, but if you are looking for a
hilarious, meaningful film, skip this one.
