- Synopsis
- Used car salesman Rudy Russo needs money to run for State Senate, so he approaches his boss Luke. Luke agrees to front him the $10,000 he needs, but then encounters an "accident" orchestrated by his brother Roy, who runs the car lot across the street. Roy is hoping to claim title to his brother's property because Roy's paying off the mayor to put the new interstate through the area. After Luke disappears, it's all out war between the competing car shops, and no nasty trick is off limits as Rudy and his gang fight to keep Roy from taking Luke's property. Then Luke's daughter shows up.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Zemeckis and Gale’s movie is really a more restless and visually high-spirited version of the W. C. Fields comedies."
-
"Director/co-writer Robert Zemeckis has undeniable energy and flair, but it's being misspent on pretexts and situations that seem inexcusably gratuitous and snide."
-
"Most of the time, I didn't know whether to laugh or shudder, and I ended up doing a lot of both."
-
"Filled with riotous plot twists and effective black humor, this is a truly inventive and memorable comedy."
-
"What might have looked like a great idea on paper has been tackled by filmmakers who haven't expanded it much beyond the one joke inherent in the premise."
-
"A foul-mouthed, bumpercrunching farce that is often funnier in theory than in fact but, even so, is a movie that has more laughs in it than any film of the summer except 'Airplane!'"
