It's no Cannonball Run
The movie is kind of funny but not nearly funny enough to forgive how cheesy it is. They use the same gags over and over again throughout the movie. The end is horrible. On a good note, John Cleese is great.. Also I recommended Download Free Carlos Mencia: The Best Of Funny Is Funny Movie
Retarded comedy can be a lot of fun.
I expected a weak comedy, with attempts to make up for weak ideas/script with overacting/clowning around by the whole cast. I was very pleasantly surprised that this is not the case. TRR turned out to be funny, even hilarious in parts. It is much better than "It's a Mad, Mad..." which was very much a 60s comedy, i.e. buffoonery was far more important than anything else. TRR has some of that, too, but for every far-too-silly gag that bombs there are several that don't. Cuba Gooding has two particularly weak moments in the scene when he fools the bus-driver into handing him his clothes (: too stupid to be funny), and when he throws a temper tantrum at the Lucys screaming that he isn't a real bus-driver (: unconvincing). Otherwise, most scenes work very well. The highlights: the heart segments, the cow segments, "squirrel" grave-yard, and all the Hitler-related scenes. The movie moves at a brisk pace, much like a Looney Tunes cartoon. The good thing is that there are both good visual and verbal gags. It's a pity that Atkinson once again plays a Mr.Bean-like character, instead of showing how well he handles sarcastic characters, as in "Black Adder" 2-4. Mr. Bean just isn't funny; am I the only one to realize this?

The reason the IMDb average is low possibly lies in the fact that many people have a problem with admitting to liking low-brow humour - even to themselves. Inferiority-complexed snobs.... Also I recommended Download Free Walk To Remember, A Movie
