Good Jokes, Good Action

If you are looking for a quality movie, this is not the movie to see. Cuba Gooding Jr. and Skeet Ulrich are all jokes in this movie as they transport an explosive in an ice cream truck. The plot isn't very strong and is very similar to other action films, but there are some funny, memorable moments. If you are looking for a good laugh or simply are a fan of Gooding, see this film just for the hell of it!
