tim s A sublime comedy, Cannonball Run is overflowing with eccentric characters and madcap humor. The film features hilarious performances such as Dom DeLuise's character's alter ego, Roger Moore's self-parody, and Dean Martin's perpetually drunken persona, among others. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/08/25 Full Review Louise T As I was a child growing up in the 1980’s absolutely 100% loved this movie. Dean, Sammy Davis Jnr, Dom, Burt, were all funny characters always up to mischief. Without these actors probably wouldn’t be as funny. Also I loved watching and listening to the sound of the Lamborghini. My dream car lol just wish I could watch it on Prime video. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/04/25 Full Review Squish M Most critic reviews of this movie miss the point. Against the backdrop of the ‘80s when it was released, it was a classic among kids. It was a source of stupid, childish, completely irreverent and mindless fun. It took the true story of the Cannonball Baker Sea-to-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash, which became popular in the ‘70s and cartoonized the lewd and crazy stories of high speed chases in the same mold as other period films like Stroker Ace, Smokey and the Bandit, and even shows like the Dukes of Hazard. Was the acting good? Come on. Was the writing good? Why ask? Was it hilarious to kids of a certain age who loved car chases, scantily clad women, crazy Asians, and all around absurdity. It was all campy and fun. They didn’t make two because the first was a failure — even if it lacked reason for any critical acclaim. The movie ran endlessly on cable, on holiday marathons, and on family VCRs for decades.

This film is a genuine waste of time. Famous actors without any characters to play. Very weak plot. Found nearly zero entertainment value.
