    Storyline

    Edit
    Donald P. Sinclair has placed six separate gold coins in different slot machines in his casino. The lucky six who find these coins discover an opportunity of a lifetime: the chance to own $2 million, locked up in a locker in New Mexico. These six contestants must now race each other to be the first to the cash. There are no rules in place and everything that could possibly happen, does. Whilst, behind the scenes, Sinclair's associates are placing their bets. —Film_Fan

    • Trivia

      Lucy Impersonator: How about a pit-stop?

      Owen Templeton: Sorry, this is a one way flight. There's a bathroom in the back.

      Lucy: The latch is broken. Anyone could just walk right in.

      Owen Templeton: So? Look, you ain't got nothin' these other Lucys haven't seen before.

      Lucy: [man's voice] Not necessarily.

    8/10
    One of the funnest comedies of 2001
    From start to finish, it's all laughs. The movie is meant to be wacky and to be really taken seriously. I especially love the part when Jon Lovitz looks like Hitler. It's one of the best popcorn comedies of 2001. Just sit back and have fun. B+, 8/10
