Plot Summary
Tom Arnold (TV's "The Best Damn Sports Show Period," "Exit Wounds") and Oscar-nominee David Paymer ("State and Main," the "City Slickers" movies) star in this rollicking comedy about a harried businessman and a hapless crook who collide on the biggest day of both their careers. A workaholic advertising executive is stuck driving the neighborhood carpool on the day of a make-or-break presentation. A down-on-his-luck carnival owner, fleeing a bungled robbery, takes the exec and his van full of kids hostage and begins a comic day-long chase through the city streets, where the two men learn some unexpected lessons and forge an unlikely friendship. Co-starring four-time Emmy-winner Rhea Perlman (TV's "Pearl," TV's "Cheers") and Oscar-winner Rod Steiger ("In the Heat of the Night," "On the Waterfront").

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: 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.
Rotten: Hard to hate, but just about impossible to like.
Rotten: What is this, an idea?
Rotten: Carpool, the new Tom Arnold comedy, is one ride to avoid, unless truly idiotic car-chase slapstick comedies are the destination genre.
