An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

I generally like John Cusack in every movie he is in. There are some exceptions where that is not the case, but IMO it has been tough to find a Cusack movie I don't like.With that said, it is no surprise I like this movie too. It is not exactly deep in story or genius dialog. It is not Cusack as his usual introspective self. What it is however, is a fun and funny chase movie that starts going quickly and keeps you entertained to the end.There is nothing too shocking, the good guys win, the bad guys lose, but there is a lot of fun, and even some decently tense drama mixed into this bag of nuts.You don't have to like Cusack to like this movie either, it is just a wild ride that he tags along for, and occasionally shines with some understated comedic moments. There is no deep hidden meaning here, its just a fun little flick that seems to have faded into the background. When really more people should know about it.

The humor in this movie starts with goofy physical stuff and ends with self-consciously ironic '80s kitsch. It seems unsure of what it's trying to be, and throughout the movie the episodic glue runs pretty thin. It's not well-directed and it's horribly edited, with problems even in the basic continuity from day to night. Most of all I got the archaeological sense that under it was once something actually kind of like a good screenplay, that just got maimed by the production. Although the characters -- overdrawn to begin with -- are forced to a breaking point by the way-over-the-top performances delivered by actors who can't help rolling their eyes at every line, there are some very well-written -- if politically dysfunctional -- dialogue sequences in this movie, most notably when Cusack finds himself on an airplane where the majority of passengers have just voted to travel to a distant destination, and demonstrates to the stewardess what democracy really consists of by decking a threatening passenger and getting the passengers cheering together behind him...

I bought this great movie for $5 on DVD witch is a bargain and the movies about a man who is going to go on vacation with his girlfriend and her family to the Caribbean but he can not go because he has to re do a test that he failed and then just after his girlfriend has gone his teacher allows him to pass his test so he can go on vacation and then he gos to the airport and gets a plane to try and find her.This movie stars good actors and actress like Jhon Cusack,Jerry Stiller,Wendy Gazelle,Robert Loggia,Monte Markham and Ben Stiller.Jhon Cusack is one of my favorite actors of all time and his best movies have to be The Sure Thing,Better Off Dead,Say Anything,Con Air and Identity.There are heaps of good scenes in this movie especially the scenes in the end of the movie and over all this movie is great and its a must watch movie and my rating is 6 out of 10.

This is the movie that made me fell for John Cusack's acting. He has so much energy, so much presence in this movie, it's impossible not to like his character! Robert Loggia was also very good and the chemistry between the two makes the movie worthwhile on its own.This is an excellent action comedy: It's light, funny and enjoyable. A little comedy from the 80's, with no pretension whatsoever other then to entertain you and make you laugh… Unfortunately, the end is not that great. Those were the times when the good guy had to defeat all of its enemies within the last 10 minutes of the film. Nevertheless, the movie is entertaining and deserves to be seen.
