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.

Critics Consensus: Not even an HOV lane amid a traffic jam is worth boarding this aggravating and unfunny Carpool.

Reviews

Radio Times

Robert Sellers

This attempt at entertaining knockabout comedy is a perfect example of Hollywood dumbing down and treating its audience like idiots.

Loud, silly and choc-a-block with madcap slapstick, Hiller's film may have an alarming plot premise but it's innocent enough for all but the youngest kids to enjoy.

South Florida Sun-Sentinel

Roger Hurlburt

Despite its "family comedy" packaging, parents may balk at taking kids to Carpool, where kidnapping at gunpoint is intended to trigger humor.

Watching a Tom Arnold movie is like getting trapped in a room with a barking dog for 90 minutes.

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