Silly but OK

Rating: 7/10 (28 June 2011)

The Cannonball Run, for me, disappears into an pit of indistinguishability with the Smoke And The Bandit movies - Burt Reynolds, lots of driving stunts, some sort of pursuit, yadda yadda yadda (you should admire my being able to say "yadda yadda yadda - I'm not even American).
This one has an excellent cast, albeit many of the cast members are slightly past their sell-by date.
But, for me, the two things which make this film really worthwhile are - no, not Adrienne Barbeau (well, yes, Adrienne Barbeau, obviously) - Jack Elam's boggle-eyed Dr Van Helsing, and Dom DeLuise's inspired and hysterical (dan dan daaah!) Captain Chaos.
This film is fun, and you don't get that in movies as much as you used to.
