The film starts out with Ed Asner's character (Gold Hands Segal) at the craps table. after a dispute with a di leaning on it's side, Gold Hands suffers a fatal heart attack right then and there. After being notified, grandson Spenser Ragusa and his buddy Freddy must find a way to get from LA to Vegas, and then because of Jewish tradition, get the grandfather's body back east within 24 hours for a proper funeral. What seems like a simple task ends up being a whacky misadventure with one problem after another. I must say I was very pleasantly surprised with this film. It is pretty funny considering some of the acting but makes up for it and then some with cameos by Ed Asner, Bryan Cranston, Ed Begley and my favorite Dabney Coleman! Even Jon Getz (from Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead) makes an appearance. The plot line is good though a little far fetched (but seeing as how it's a slapstick i get why they did it that way). The pretty girls in it are not at all bad to look at and i was in stitches with W.P. Kulakundis' character. funny stuff!
