Carpool is a 1996 film starring Tom Arnold and David Paymer. A man (Paymer) with an important business meeting finds himself having to take care of the carpool for the neighborhood school children when his wife gets sick. Stopping to get doughnuts for the kids, things go even more awry when he finds himself a victim of a robbery. The situation worsens as a desperate man (Arnold) who had been contemplating a bank robbery, robs the robbers and takes the man and the kids hostage in their van as his truck is blocked by an armored car. The movie then proceeds into a comedic chase movie. The father finds his kids don't really respect him and they react better to the robber.
