“Wheels Of Fortune” (*1/2 out of four) was a jeopardizingly dumb comedy about a Southern jackass (Matt Jones) who travels the country with his family (Noureen DeWulf, Christina Moore, and others) and a lawyer (John Ducey) after finding out that his ill father (Jeff Fahey) may have left him a business inheritance involving race-cars. Some scattershot chuckles are overtaken by film’s generally moronic dialogue and unfunny Southern stereotypes. Strictly for those who couldn’t get enough of “The Jerry Springer Show” and thought “Talladega Nights” was robbed at Oscar time.
