Quotes:
[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.

"Carpool" wasn't all that bad. I think Tom Arnold can be very funny at times and he came through here. The stars of this movie however were the children. They provide most of the laughs. Maybe my one quarrel with the film was Paymer's character's constant whining about being late for his meeting. The movie is nothing special, but its also not terrible. "Carpool" is harmless family fun.
