Goofy fun.

At the beginning this looked as if it would be an incredibly enjoyable guilty pleasure, a ridiculous ego project for Evel Knievel, but it gets to the point that its lameness is no longer enjoyable but merely a chore to get through, especially with its over padded runtime. Neither does it help that the late Leslie Nielsen, who I do love, is the least threatening drug baron you could have in a film.
