there be a million different way this film could have go and and subsequently and improve . however and this carpool run out of gas early on . tom arnold can be funny and i have see him do it . and there be part in carpool where he be and in fact and funny . but the whole storyline be just a line of desperation on which this movie hang situation that just do not stay up . and what in all that be holy name be actual actor like paymer and steiger do here . they can be funny on occasion and but not here while you just spend your time scratch your head and wonder how bad they need the money . a it be and one long car chase and punctuate by the kid think arnold isn not such a bad guy after all while dad paymer insists they stop be nice to the criminal ( okay and i like that part ) . two star . and if i never see steiger dress like a clown again and that fine with me .
