Wheels of Fortune

source: Wheels of Fortune

If anything, Wheels of Fortune lands in the stupid funny category that also shelters Talladega Nights, Hot Rod, Jackass and Joe Dirt. By no means would it ever be a masterpiece but it's the kind of thing you put on when you're either stoned/hungover or really, really bored and don't want to focus on anything substantial. Personally, I had a different reason but still. Bo Jackson is a Tennessee-born and bred loser. Ever since he gave up his chance at winning a race as a kid, everything for him is a loss. As an adult, Bo and his best friend, known only as Noodle, are mechanics for a jerkass racer. But, unbeknownst to the duo, the very wealthy Phineus Davis has died and his will reveals that he has an illegitimate son. You guessed it, it's Bo. And so his unbearably mean-spirited daughter Chrissy, clueless son Oswald and their lawyer Jason are off to find Bo, whose inheritance relies solely on winning a series of sporting events. It hits every cliche note in the head but the chemistry between the protagonists, as well as some committed performances from its C-list cast. Matt Jones seems like he and Danny McBride should do a movie together. Jeff Fahey is one of the film's few saving graces. Of course, the female character with the most screentime, Bo's crush and Noodle's stepmother (it makes as little sense as the movie overall does) Mandy, is possibly the best of the leads. I watched it once to find myself among the extras. I did (look for the guy who reacts to Bo crashing a moped) and I don't need to watch it again.

If your in the pick apart mood to disect everything in a movie and or in a serious mood, this isn't for you. If you want a feel good laugh out loud movie thats fun to watch from start to finish, you will enjoy it. I love comedies, my wife thinks they mostly corny but she loved it. We both did!

This movie was so good I watched it twice in a row!!! It's so funny. Love all the characters. So entertaining and the perfect movie to make you laugh in 2020!

The reviews that i read, but as the humble man i am, i took wrong. this is a funny film with an unbelievable consistent comedy, with a fun moment in nearly every scene and take, a cast well chosen, and with a lawyer caracter looking like harrison ford . so if youre high on petrol, breathing exhaust, love to remove callipers, and wears a mullet styled with oil and grease, then take part in this hilarious movie sideshow upon some of the most american lifestyles you wont find anywhere else on this olanet, where fast is good furious is good big is gooc and the stakes/steaks are bigger than you can dream of. it a well made ironic comedydrama like smokey and the bandit and a little bit of her bie in the bends, and a legendary bagger vance doing the enginewhispering to fine tune the horsepowers. so if your not too old and grumpier than me, i can guaratee a good laugh from this one. wheels of fortune may enrich your life and sole. a big recommend

Its light-hearted. Its cheesy. Its just....fun. its a great way to spend an hour and a half. Its slapstick humor, and my kids loved it.

Yes, it's dumb. It's supposed to be. I really don't think they were going for groundbreaking esoteric cinematic masterpiece. It's just dumb and funny. Movies are made so that people who are capable of suspending disbelief can be immersed in a story without needing to read it. This is not art. It's just silly. And yeah, it feels like 1:46 of Lucas Oil Ads, but there's a pretty funny little cameo in there if you watch for it. The bloopers during the credits are worth watching and everybody played their parts well.

If you like one of the actors you can make it through this movie. If you don't I wouldn't bother there's no substance and just very idiotic.

I thought it was funny! I had never heard of it but came across it on Netflix. I enjoy Matt Jones in other things so I thought I would give it a try. Wasn't disappointed!

A slapstick comedy that is rather stupid. If you're hung over maybe it might be enjoyable. Synopsis is the main character need to complete a series of tasks to claim an inheritance. This movie wouldn't have done any justice to the actors. Maybe more of a kids movie??
