Underrated comedy that I routinely watch just about every year. Bill Murray, Gena Davis and Randy Quaid were a great trio. Edit for new review: Still one of my personal favorite comedies, seen this one numerous times and still have a good time with this trio and the oddball things that happen to ... them on their journey to the airport. Murray, Davis and Quaid are great together as well as Jason Robards as the frustrated police chief. **4.25/5**
