A man with an important business meeting finds himself having to take care of the carpool for the neighborhood school children when his wife gets sick. Stopping to get donuts for the kids, things go even more awry when he finds himself a victim of a robbery. However, the situation only gets worse as a desperate man who had been contemplating a bank robbery robs the robbers and takes the man and the kids hostage in their van as his truck is blocked by an armored car. The thing then proceeds into a comedic chase movie. The father finds his kids don't really respect him and they react better to the robber. The end result is everyone gets a lifestyle change, including the original store owner.

Spoiler alert: I didn't just like the movie, I loved it when I was a kid and love it still, it's so funny still, that's the point of comedies and genres before you watch a movie look up the genre of the movie. This movie was in the comedy section, not a combination of genres, just one genre only which is comedy in and of itself. and I like the part about the little girl, Chelsea(i think that was the characters name played by the blonde hair girl), when she said, "Hammerman's suck" now that's hi-lar- ious, cosidering she was probably like what, 11 or 12 when those cuss words are usually reserved or were reserved for the adults only back in the 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's but in the 90's i'm pretty sure parents loosened up quite a bit, but in today's age not so much. And another thing, i liked was when mr. miller(andrew and bucky's father) picked her up and ran toward the carpool or van and she said, I'm getting motion sickness stop. that was funny as well and to all of you who hate film get into the comedy genre and you'll see how hard it is to make a film, the trailer itself could be better and most of you reviewer probably was a hostage situation that probably actually had a gunshot, if there was a gunshot in this movie it would have probably been rated pg-13 or rated R. which means kids would not have been able to watch this movie until they were teenagers in the freaking' first place. and what was this movie rated, not rated, or g-rated, or pg 12 or pg.

Anyone who's ever been to Sizzler has got to see this movie. Tom Arnold is hilarious as the good son trying to save the carnival and prevent his mother from any further incidents at the smorgasbord. A must see for anyone who has started their day where everything goes from bad to worse. For those of us that ever felt like the "good guy" "bad guy" you've got to see this movie. A hilarious film!!

Tom Arnold and David Paymer are a terrific team together. The movie is silly and enjoyable with them and Rhea Perlman as a meter maid. The film is family oriented and fun to watch. It's no Oscar contender but it's just great for laughs. Maybe Paymer and Arnold should do a sitcom together. Alright it's not the greatest comedy of all time but it's one of those silly comedies where two people from different backgrounds get together and strike an unlikely friendship during unfortunate circumstances. Perlman is outrageous as the meter maid. Paymer does great to keep a straight face and Arnold is really a good performer as the guy holding up hostages. Whatever the flaws and there are some, it's still kind of fun to watch them again.
