But hey, it's a G-rated disney flick. But even so the film could have gone farther and beyond. It had "pixar" potential, but it held itself back. But all in all, it's worth seeing. Especially in 3-d (which they could have... Full review

Burt Reynolds made a fortune in this area with these goofy "chase" movies (this and Smoky and The Bandit plus all the sequels). They featured a an irreverent '70s attitude toward about anything decent with an emphasis on a sleazy... Full review

Okay, realistically speaking, it is not "excellent" in the grand scope of cinema history...It has virtually no plot, for example. But it's hysterically funny and just makes you feel happy all over. Could it be Sammy Davis Junior and Dean... Full review

Jackie Chan loves porno movies (1:14:10).
You can lie under them on a moonlit night, with the breeze blowing, and ball your brains out.
Ms. Barbeau's amazing peekaboo zipper rises and falls BY ITSELF (46:30).

After that, each Needham movie has been worse than the one preceding it.
Some of the actors are talented, some are not
Burt Reynolds sleepwalks through a role he's played several times before, but never so indifferently.

Qwipster's Movie Reviews
Cannonball Run is a pure entertainment movie that does deliver the goods for all those who seek a few chuckles and goofy characters to follow.
With excellent stunt work, an impressive cast, and a heaping helping of fun makes Cannonball Run an entertaining 90 minutes for those who expect hot cars, hotter women, and lots of crazy set pieces.

At-A-Glance Film Reviews
Maybe it was that the movie established a fun sort of cheesy tone and sustained it to the end.
The Cannonball Run is like a cross between Smokey and It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World , or would be if it were even close to as good as either.

In some sense, The Cannonball Run embodies what racing is supposed to be: dumb fun with a redneck streak.
We all thought the movie was hilarious and kick-ass, and for tween-to-teen boys, it really hit on all cylinders fast cars racing, dick jokes, fast cars jumping, PG-level sex, fast cars exploding, xenophobic humor, and a big fistfight.
