This is really quite a silly and pointless film but that does not detract from its funniness. I watched it on Sunday and was in stitches at certain bits. I didn't quite understand why Rowan Atkinson was cast as an Italian when he is clearly doing his Mr Bean bit, however his catchphrase 'It's a race, it's a race, I'm winning!' in a rather dubious Italian accent is permanently ingrained in my brain for some reason.
Kathy Bates is hilarious as a woman bent on selling squirrels to lost passers by, as is Whoopi Goldberg who, in a state of confusion after being driven in a land-speed record breaking vehicle, declares to a sceptical 'special needs' nurse 'we came in the rocket car', and the busload of Lucille Balls is hilarious. And you get to see Cuba Gooding Jr in his boxers. A lot. What more could you ask for?
