"I really love this movie. I have watched it many times. If I recall, the same year as or thereabouts, there was also the movie Operation Dumbo Drop, but this movie was much more fun. Bill Murray plays the role of a corporate man who finds out he was the son of a well-known circus clown. That plot is funny already! 🤡 He actually inherits a beautiful female elephant, and they literally travel the country together. There are so many fun scenes, and you can see that Bill Murray is genuinely touched by the gentleness of the animal, but also respectful of its power. On the road trip, Bill meets different circus folk, and learns more about his estranged father. There is one particular scene in which he rents a big rig to transport the elephant 🐘 which is one of the funniest scenes in this movie road trip movie. Mathew McConaughey plays the role of another big rig driver who has an axe 🪓 to grind with Bill's character. A road trip movie, with an elephant, and so hilarious! 😂"
