Carpool
A man with an important business meeting finds himself having to take care of the carpool for the neighborhood school children when his wife gets sick. Stopping to get donuts for the kids, things go even more awry when he finds himself a victim of a robbery. However, the situation only gets worse as a desperate man who had been contemplating a bank robbery robs the robbers and takes the man and the kids hostage in their van as his truck is blocked by an armored car. The thing then proceeds into a comedic chase movie. The father finds his kids don't really respect him and they react better to the robber. The end result is everyone gets a lifestyle change, including the original store owner.

Wonderful character development!
the audience applauded
Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Think hard now. When was the last time you saw a film wherein so many challenges lie? For example: 1. Bucky is clearly of Canadian descent, however, neither of his parents are. Is the accent meant to imply a) he is an illegitimate child, or b) it was passed on by marathon viewings of Degrassi Junior High? 2. Travis is obviously an Olsen twin in drag, but which one?3. Whatever happened to the brief fashion craze inspired by this film (a la the Annie Hall look) of young boys with unzipped flys? 4. How did the elderly woman get to the Hammerman's Gourmet Market safely, if, as she implies when Officer Erdman commandeers the vehicle, her brakes are shot? 5. What kind of research would prove that upscale consumers do not like donuts? As you can see, complex plot twists and characterizations abound, and they drive a great minivan through the mall. The cool part: backwards! So, you can see why when Franklin says he's lost his wallet, Daniel's response is, "Why?" Motivation is the key question in this world, and paying off circus performers. And keeping your mom away from the Sizzler, for the love of God!
'The car chase scene through the alleys consisted of only two blocks in downtown Vancouver. The buildings were painted several times and different shots were used to get a feel for a large chase. The speeds were below 20 miles an hour.'The large grey wall that is behind the car in one scene is B.C. Collateral pawn brokers.The car chase scene was filmed in the seediest area of the city. Seconds away from everything is the worst crime ridden drug infested area of North America in one single block.
After I saw Big Bully, I never thought I would see a better comedic performance. But I am glad to say that Tom Arnold proved me wrong. The rest of the cast just sits back and goes along for the ride in this film. David Paymer works so well with Tom Arnold that I wouldn't be surprised to see them as the next Abbot and Castello. This movie hits on all cylinders. 10 out of 10.
I'm 17 years old and I watched this movie from beginning to end. I hardly laughed at all throughout the film and all I can say is that adults won't find this movie funny! It's all child's play with obvious gags and action scenes that will appeal to a young audience. It's all very predictable and lame. 4/10
