Review of Carpool (1996) by Rebecca C — 08 Jan 2010

I love Carpool!!! It's such a funny film and Tom Arnold is so funny in every film he does. All the kids are really funny and the story has a great family feel to it. I really love this film!!!

The best lines (in no particular order):

Travis: "Oh, I ate mud once. Tasted okay. But they had to take me to the hospital and pump my stomach and I met a guy with a monkey heart!".

Travis: "I'm not crazy.".

Daniel: "I didn't say you were.".

Travis: "I was tested, ya know.".

Daniel: "Well then you obviously cheated.".

Old Lady: "He was a very annoying man.".

Reporter: "The gun man?".

Old Lady: "No, the gun man was very polite.".

Daniel: [about the ferris wheel] "I'm not getting on that death trap.".

Franklin: "Oh we won that law suit.".

Daniel: "Huh?".

Franklin: "Okay we tied, but it's still safe. Come on, I'll show you how to operate it. It's so easy a trained monkey could do it and it did until that uproar with the Humane Society.".

Franklin: "Boy you're touchy.".

Travis: "He's got hemorrhoids, Franklin.".

Franklin: "You got 'roids?".

[location: in their van which is inside a refrigeration truck].

Andrew: "It's freezing.".

Franklin: "Huddle together if you're cold, I'll turn on the heat.".

Daniel: "That's brilliant. See in order to get heat you have to turn on the engine, thereby trapping the fumes and rendering us all dead by asphixiation.".

Franklin: "In that case forget the heat. Hey who farted? Did you cut the cheese, Dan?".

Daniel: "For God's sake, no I did not.".

Franklin: "How about you, Kayla?" Kayla: "Girls don't fart.".

Franklin: "Really? Come over to my house sometime and ask my mom why all our cats committed suicide.".

Andrew: "Look, Mr. Kopek's working in his yard.".

Daniel: "Yeah. Let this be a lesson to you kids, the world says that he's too old to drive a car but look at him, he's a vibrant, healthy old man who can do anything he put's his mind to.".

Andrew: "Dad, Mr. Kopek's not wearing his pants.".

Daniel: "Yeah so from now on you kids stay away from him okay?".

[Kayla slaps Bucky].

Kayla: "BUCKY!".

Bucky: "What? I thought you were scared, so I grabbed your shoulder.".

Kayla: "That wasn't my shoulder!".

Bucky: "Really? Cool!".

Andrew: "I want to be the hostage!".

Kayla: "How come I never get to be the hostage?".

Travis: "That's because you're a girl.".

Bucky: "Hey, girls can be hostages, too. I mean, we're moving toward the twenty-first century and girls can be whatever they want.".

Kayla: "Right on, sister.".

Daniel: "Ok, quiet down or nobody gets to be the hostage!".

Bucky: "Well, that made sense, dad.".

My Actor/Actress review:

They were all so funny, I love them all!!!
