| User ReviewCarolyn MOne of the best movies from the 1980's!!! |
| User ReviewShawn WA football team owner must restore the old Chatanooga Choo Choo train for one last ride of its old route to collect a million dollars from his father-in-law's estate. This comedy gets derailed. Disliked the perverted football player. |

All outcomes are entirely predictable, right down to Joe Namath picking up the lady of his choice. May be best remembered for the talented waiter. |
