Cannonball Run II: So Bad It's Almost Good... Almost.

Okay, rom-coms are my jam, I'll admit it. But sometimes, you just gotta dive headfirst into a cinematic trainwreck. And folks, "Cannonball Run II"? Choo-choo! It's like they took the first one, multiplied the slapstick by ten, and then forgot to add a coherent plot. It's got Burt Reynolds, Dom DeLuise doing his Captain Chaos thing (which, tbh, is still kinda funny), and a whole lotta explosions for absolutely no reason. Like, seriously, what was going on? I think they just let everyone improvise on set and then pieced it together with duct tape and hope. I mean, the sheer randomness is almost endearing. There's a scene with Frank Sinatra just... being Frank Sinatra. There's also Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. doing a priest shtick. I can't help but laugh! But I also can't help but wonder where it all went wrong? Did they even try to make a good movie? The sheik's prize money plot and all those cars are fun to watch, but the humour doesn't hit like it should. Listen, I'm not saying it's good. It's definitely not good in the way a well-crafted romantic comedy is good. But it's so gloriously, hilariously bad that it's kind of entertaining? You go in expecting a cinematic masterpiece of comedy and you get a dumpster fire. It's a spectacle, in the worst/best way possible. I guess if you have an evening with some friends and you're ready to laugh at the absolute absurdity of it all, give it a shot. But don't say I didn't warn you! So, has anyone else braved this one? Am I alone in finding a strange sort of enjoyment in its awfulness? Let me know your thoughts! Maybe we can form a support group.
