The Cannonball Run Ratings & Reviews
Variety
Variety Staff
Full of terribly inside showbiz jokes and populated by what could be called Burt and Hal's Rat Pack, film takes place in that redneck never-never land where most of the guys are beer-guzzling good ole boys and all the gals are fabulously built tootsies.
TV Guide
This wholly derivative car-chase movie provides a flimsy excuse for good ol' boy Burt Reynolds to cavort on-screen with a cast that's chock-full of familiar faces.

Chuck O'Leary
Amiable, lightweight fun. Captain Chaos saves the day.
ÜberCiné
Gregory Weinkauf
My review at the time of release heralded this as, 'Wow! Whatta movie!' -- I am now officially amending that to: 'Wow! Amusing junk!'
Film Threat
Caffeinated Clint
It doesn't get any better or BIGGER than this
Capital Times (Madison, WI)
Rob Thomas
If it wasn't for the blooper reel at the end, this would get no stars.
Juicy Cerebellum
Alex Sandell
A total waste of time.
Kansas City Kansan
Steve Crum
AAA calculates better road trips.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The Cannonball Run is an abdication of artistic responsibility at the lowest possible level of ambition. In other words, they didn't even care enough to make a good lousy movie.
New York Times
Vincent Canby
Inoffensive and sometimes funny.
Filmcritic.com
Eric Meyerson
evokes another age before The Fast and the Furious and NASCAR replaced the fun in racing with, respectively, death and science
Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)
Bob Bloom
A movie that should have crashed at the starting line.
Kalamazoo Gazette
James Sanford
Easier to take than most of Reynolds' other "flying car" epics
Cinerina
Karina Montgomery
A cheeseball classic in its own right
