Let's see...
dude wants a sweet Lambo, 'cause like Lamborghini is like too many syls, y'know?
dude wants to marry totally hawt chick
dude gets into bogus trouble, did NAWT see that coming, fer sher.
*sigh*
This movie proves that great writing talent is not hereditary. Compare Mathesons father and son yourself.
George Newbern is sexy but wasted in this. I kept wanting to slap some sense into his character.
Anthony Geary, wasted in yet another oddball role.
Nobody to root for. Skip this one.

I saw this about 10 years ago ... but really like it. Here's what I remember of the movie:
A young man travels a long distance to buy an expensive sports car a few days before his wedding. His new car has problems and he is stranded. He trys to get the car fixed but finds out because he didn't buy an "extended warranty" there is no warranty on the car and he has bought a worthless lemon.
He sets out to get even with the dealership. Along the way he meets a beautiful woman. He tries to buy a bottle of Dom Perignon Champagne because she tells him it makes her wild. He gets robbed at the liquor store when trying to buy the champagne. The crooks also steal his champagne. Movie is very funny, strange, and entertaining.

Well I'm not living in Arizona... though my IQ exceeds the room temperature.
I think it is a matter of Your own preferences if You like this film or if You don't. Sure, this film is not comparable to films like Titanic, Gladiator, Star Wars or something else like that.
In my opinion this is a real good piece of entertainment in the way it has been done in the eighties... You can damn it or love it.
I would say this film is a road movie, surely the story is somehow strange but nevertheless funny.
At least I would say You could take a look at it if You like cars like the Lamborghini Countach and if You can understand what it's able to do with a young man.

This movie is absolute garbage. You will hate Travis unlike any character you've ever hated. He basically treats Jonni like a whore and receives a wedding and a car that he doesn't deserve in the slightest. I hated this guy and it ruined what could have been a fun and interesting adventure involving the lambo from hell. Give this one a skip.
It's a comedy about starting a life as a young married couple. Formulated by 1980s comedic writers to be a safe look in to a wedding from two distinct view points; his desire to not be his Dad and her desire to marry for love. Exotic car and trip to big city mixes with sleazy car dealer and sexy saleswoman equals coming of age for our hero. See past the critics and negative reviews. See the pair come together to fulfill their need for each other.
