Synopsis:
In an ensemble film about easy money, greed, manipulation and bad driving, a Las Vegas casino tycoon entertains his wealthiest high rollers — a group that will bet on anything — by pitting six ordinary people against each other in a wild dash for $2 million jammed into a locker hundreds of miles away. The tycoon and his wealthy friends monitor each racer’s every move to keep track of their favorites. The only rule in this race is that there are no rules.

Nell Minow (Common Sense Media) | Vulgar and lowbrow, but very funny. Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 |
 |
Christopher Smith (Bangor Daily News (Maine)) | Ruthlessly dumb people–but funny, too. Full Review | Original Score: B+ |
 |
Emanuel Levy (EmanuelLevy.Com) | Manic, messy, and for the most part silly, this road comedy marks Zucker’s bumpy return to the genre after a number of equally bumpy dramas such as First Knight. Full Review | Original Score: C+ |
 |
Philip Martin (Arkansas Democrat-Gazette) | … the only real surprise is how genuinely dreadful a movie that aims only for pleasant, profitable mediocrity can be. Full Review | Original Score: D |
 |
Staci Layne Wilson (StaciWilson.com) | Oh, you dirty rat! Full Review |
 |
Harry Guerin (RTE Interactive (Dublin, Ireland)) | Some great moments, but with the talent on offer, this film should have broken ribs. Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 |

Brian Mckay (eFilmCritic.com) | It’s a big, dumb, loud, long, (and sometimes quite) funny movie Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 |
 |
Wesley Lovell (Cinema Sight) | A fantastic road trip in the vein of films like Scavenger Hunt | Original Score: 3.5/4 |
|
Jean Lowerison (San Diego Metropolitan) | It goes on, and on, and on for 113 minutes, which is way past any reasonable person’s limit for this sort of thing. Full Review |

Margaret A. McGurk (Cincinnati Enquirer) | It made me laugh, and that’s my definition of funny. Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 |
 |
Jeffrey Westhoff (Northwest Herald (Crystal Lake, IL)) | Zucker instinctively knows how far to push the crude and uncouth, and when to retreat into the merely goofy. Full Review| Original Score: 3/4 |
 |
John Venable (Supercala.com) | Unfortunately this flick will sell tickets, and more crap like this will be made in the future. Full Review |

Pablo Villaça (Cinema em Cena) | Uma produção de extremos: quando falha, chega a ser embaraçosamente ruim – mas quando funciona, provoca fortes gargalhadas. Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 |
|
Larry Carroll (Countingdown.com) | …this film earns its laughs. Sure, there are some jokes that involve bodily functions, but at no point does anyone get a penis stabbed into the side of their head. Full Review | Original Score: C+ |
 |

 |
John J. Puccio (Movie Metropolis) | …an old-fashioned, non-offensive physical comedy that huffs and puffs and ultimately blows itself down. | Original Score: 5/10 |
 |
Ian Waldron-Mantgani (UK Critic) | You have to wonder about the mentality of anyone who would want to use the “Cannonball Run” pictures as inspiration. | Original Score: 0.5/4 |
