I don't think anyone is watching this movie looking for superior writing and acting, but if you want wild and wacky adventures this is pretty good.
We keep moving down the road, crossing state lines. Lots of wild car chases and stunts, with some excellent work by drivers who really have to be careful what they're doing. The best car chase of the entire movie involves Junior's car, and wait until you see how that ends!
It's not all wild action. There are a couple of sweet scenes involving Paul and Robin.
Many laws are broken and one disaster after another gives us a really wild ending. Only in the movies!
Seriously? Charlie Sheen is someone who can be trusted with an important job? Well, at this stage in his career he is quite believable as a proper, professional yuppie. Sheen is totally different from anything else I have ever seen him in, except maybe "Wall Street", but it has been a while so I don't even remember. So proper and responsible. So nice when the situation calls for it. And then he ends up in situations Charlie Harper could have easily found himself in. I'm not sure he's that good when he has to be angry, but he gets the job done.
I've never heard of Kerri Green but it's a shame. She was quite good, really, given the material. Robin is actually a sweet and misunderstood girl, but wait until you see what she gets away with in a fine restaurant just because she's a senator's daughter. And then it's time to spend the night in a motel. That's when the real fun begins, but not before we get to see Robin in her underwear. I assume it's underwear, because why would she have a swimsuit?
I know Alan Ruck best as a womanizing jerk in "Spin City" but he is so different here and much more likable.
Not a great role for James Avery, who was praised so highly in Will Smith's Oscar speech, only a couple of years before he became Uncle Phil. But pretty good. And if you disliked his behavior ... well, Robin is clumsy.
Sally Kellerman is actually pretty good but is this movie truly worthy of someone who starred in one of the greatest of all films?
Is this family friendly? Cleaned up for TV, maybe it's acceptable for older kids. You can't be too mature and still appreciate this. How convenient that some of the worst language in the movie was probably bleeped out by car horns and such.
It's a fun adventure if your expectations aren't too high.
