Locked up in a locker in New Mexico, these six contestants must now race each other, to be the first to the cash. There are no rules in place and everything that could possibly happen, does. Whilst, behind the scenes, Sinclair's associates are placing their bets. |

| | Posted: | | | | Very very average comedy. Some characters are completely miss (Cuba Gooding Jr and Whoopi Goldberg+daughter), some are hit and miss (Seth Green+brother, Rowan Atkinson) and some are hilarious in every scene (Jon Lovitz+family, Breckin Meyer and Amy Smart). Unfortunately the misses slightly outweigh the hits but there are some great set-pieces and I couldn't decide on a favourite scene but I narrowed it down to the 3.
1 - Jon Lovitz and family stealing Hitler's car from the Barbie museum.
2 - When they say to John Cleese (the casino owner) that he can't just give away $2m in a random game, he says "Yes I can, I'm eccentric" and does this weirded out type of cat purr and nobody else shows any type of emotion.
3 - The whole of the last ten minutes. I love the ending to this.
Very very high end of rent it, almost recommended. |
