I remember watching this movie as a kid and thinking Jack Lemon was great fun as the kooky villain. I remembered the very cool car and its endless arsenal of misfiring gadgets. My kids love cars and love slapstick so I was pretty sure this would be a hit. And it was. The ending also took them by surprise ("What do you mean the good guy doesn't win?") and provided a chance to talk about briefly about fairness and honor. If your family liked this, rent "Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines!"

Really funny!
I thought this was a great movie because the bad guy was always trying to win the race but his tricks didn't help him. The bad guy cheated but the good guys did not. The funniest part was the big pie fight.
