Like most Robert Zemeckis comedies, "Used Cars" is just bursting with flair. A consistently funny, zany, underrated farce.

A fast 80's comedy, whose loose plot sets up some zany moments. There is a decent amount of laughs here, but some of the situations could've been funnier. Still, the whole thing is worth it just for that big set-piece at the end involving a hundred plus cars driving at high speeds.
