Cannonball Run Movie Review 1981

So many stars, so little plot. Reynolds and sidekick DeLuise disguise themselves as paramedics to foil cops while they compete in cross-country Cannonball race. Shows no sign of having been directed by an ex-stuntman. One of 1981's top grossers--go figure. Followed by equally languid sequel "Cannonball Run II."
