563 MILES. 9 PEOPLE. $2 MILLION. 1001 PROBLEMS!
A bored billionaire (John Cleese) hides a $2 million treasure and sends off eight people; who will be the first to find it? This is the budget version of Itās a Mad Mad Mad Mad World (1963) ā instead of Spencer Tracy we get Breckin Meyer. The film suffers from weak writing and the elaborate gags tend to repeat themselves. The actors are more interesting; Jon Lovitz scores high points as a slightly psychotic family man and gambling addict who first finds himself in the wrong kind of Barbie museum and then behind the wheel of Adolf Hitlerās car (!).
