Never heard of this film prior to a couple of weeks ago, came to my attention after seeing a YouTuber give a quick synopsis of the movie. The main attraction was the star power, growing up watching movies like Bad News Bears, Smokey and the Bandit & Mork and Mindy, I'm quite familiar with Jerry Reed, Walter Mathew and Robbin Williams but had no idea they stared in a movie together.
I was hoping to be laughing to the point of tears with these three in the same movie but it wasn't as funny as I hoped or expected. That's not to say that it lacked any humor or funny aspects, several parts managed to be hilarious, but mostly it was chuckle worthy.
Robin Williams plays the zany over the top character, Walter Mathew plays the well established grumpy old man character, while Reed plays a blue collar thief (if there is such a thing) out to murder them to prevent getting caught.
The climax of the movie where Reed and Williams is hunting each other in the woods at the survival camp is hilarious, but getting to that point in the movie was a bit long to get there.
