1/06: Because of the all-star cast, The Cannonball Run promises entertainment but fails to deliver.

Worse, it has left me bored to tears. There are many pointless scenes, but I admit the doctor did crack me up. But as far as the rest goes, it's stupid. I wish the rules were explained, so I can see the point of the race. But instead, the filmmakers have decided to push Farrah Fawcett's tits close to my eyes.

Cover three-thousand miles in thirty-two hours? It's probable, but it'll require a lot of planning, luck, and straight driving with no breaks. Of course, things are made too easy for all drivers to be there on time which will predictably become a footrace toward the end.

All in all, The Cannonball Run should be cannonballed out of the world.
