A delightful comedy with no political messages or vulgarity. Just simple fun from a simple happier time.
no wonder why no one likes the mother in law lol
"He accidentally careers over a cliff in view of four cars whose occupants go down to help."
I hate when I career over a cliff.
I like the movie but you must admit some of the parts were just over the top and stupid you are a thousand feet in the air but you scared of a bug and the gas station was made of paper
not saying that the 60s were better than today. But life was simpler. No worries about retirement. No worries about health insurance. Today we have so much but people still spend so much and have nothing
The best ever.
Love it

Having seen this now with it having been released more than twice my lifetime ago, I have to say that personally I don't think it stands up and that most of the others commenting here love it primarily out of nostalgia for their youth. While the actors are incredible talents and the practical stunts with the cars are impressive, I think this needed a firmer hand in the editing chair. Every scene outstays its welcome by just a bit, every character spends a but too long explaining their thoughts without comedic payoff. If you trimmed the fat, even just a few sentences from most of the scenes, you could probably shave off an hour of runtime with barely losing any gags. What I'm saying is the jokes aren't snappy. I'm not asking it to be Airplane! or Silent Movie or even Smokey and the Bandit with a new joke every minute, but there's so much delay between the jokes, so much time spent with either dead air everyone talking over each other incomprehensibly, that it gets tiresome.
Overall, while good for it's time, now I think it's mostly loved for its all-star cast, rather than any merits of the film itself.
Best sound effects. Top Road Show. Top song were the only awards won. This movie should've won all the categories
the movie looks cheaply produced in some scenes..especially the scene where winters is destroying the gas station…to bad…it could have been a TRUE classic
Great movie. I also like to see the changes that have happened compared to those day; the cars, phones, houses and buildings and hairstyles and clothing.
