Half-assed review time!

An all-star slapstick comedy film based on the real life Cannonball Baker Sea-To-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash, which was held four times during the 1970s, starting in Connecticut and ending in California.

So, who's in it, and what are they driving? Who will be the first to make it across the country first?

Recommended movie, although not an especially artistic one.
