Lisa Schwarzbaum Entertainment Weekly Rated: D Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle Rated: 3.5/5 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times The movie is slick, charming, and with moments of real wit. But there's so little to it. Rated: 2.5/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...a frenetic (yet decidedly erratic) endeavor... Rated: 2.5/4 Mar 2, 2024 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com ...a guilty pleasure for those who enjoy car chases... Rated: 3/5 May 29, 2021 Full Review Nick Rogers Midwest Film Journal What seems crudely jerry-rigged to be nothing more than a mindless car crash-up is instead an intelligent, incisive carving-up of media insanity and idiocy. Plus, throughout the movie, Charlie Sheen showcases stealthy comic chops. Rated: 3.5/5 Mar 28, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews

thiago s Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajudou a melhorar o filme nem o charlie sheen, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/12/25 Full Review Audience Member This was my first Charlie sheen film I’d ever seen. Great chemistry between sheen and Swanson , which heats up fast. Nothing wrong with a 24hr car chase and a bit of romance. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/19/24 Full Review Rhonda T The name is all wrong. It should be "Who's the Daddy?" I really wanted to like it. I watched all of Series 1 and about half of Series 2. I finally started fast forwarding through some of it. A complete waste. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/18/24 Full Review Audience Member Spot-on title, this wacky wild goose chase gives you chaos punches from start to end. Does anyone think of refueling? Maybe it's a solar EV... Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member I don’t know if this is a guilty pleasure cause I like this movie. It doesn’t deserve the bad reviews. Great soundtrack as well. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/02/22 Full Review Audience Member Sheen is at his comedic best. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Read all reviews
