The whole madcap production is at best faintly amusing, at worst, painfully protracted

Carpool is affably stupid Saturday-matinee fare -- good for opiating the kids for a few hours -- but let's just say it's no Big Bully.

Arthur Hiller's pacing is crude, but that seems to be the point.

It's a shame Arnold is stuck on the loudmouth clod schtick, because there are moments he's downright pleasant on screen. But in Carpool, these moments are kept to a minimum.

Arthur Hiller, who last directed the sour "The Babe" -- not the one about that sweet pig -- finds even less to work with in TV veteran Don Rhymer's stupid screenplay.

Wide-eyed and mirthlessly peppy, Mr. Arnold soon wears out his welcome as a bumbling would-be bank robber who commandeers a group of young hostages.

Warner Bros. quietly releases Hiller's latest film, Carpool, without advance critics screenings, without more than a whisper of promotion, without warning or apology to the lost souls who might wander in to see it.

It's a funny movie from the past. They used to make such good movies in the 90s. This film is definitely one of David Paymer's most popular films of the era. At that time, David Paymer acted in many such films.

With an awfully predictable end, and an equally silly script, This movie is one big pile of waste that should never get the honor of being bought by somebody with an IQ score of 75.
