I grew up with Wacky Races (Muttley!) on Cartoon
Network, and this is the film that inspired the animated show. It’s a Blake Edwards
movie, so there’s a lot of slapstick humour, and in general it feels like a
silly movie. While the critics didn’t like it, I loved it and thought it was
funny. I’m gonna give it a high grade because I laughed out loud so many times,
especially during the iconic pie fight scene. It’s a feel-good movie, the type
of escapism that we definitely need now.
And I must mention Jack Lemmon who is fantastic in this, giving
one of his funniest performances.
I give it: 8.5/10
