the big problem with the critically slammed car pool be it lack of originality . the affable arnold play a likeable two bit carnival owner in need of money who carjack a gaggle of kid on their way to school in a van drive by paymer . what ensues be the usual chase and sophomoric nonsense . a busy flick with lot go on and car pool be a regurgitation of hackneyed stunt and gag which have be do many time before . an okay diversion for the vegetate sofa spud and little more . ( d ) note imho arnold razzie be undeserved . it hard to look good in a really bad film .
