Gran Turismo undercover (screen)

Rating: 4/10 (7 August 2011)

It was my first experience of "Cars" and I find the idea of personalizing cars original and funny. Moreover, it's a change from the always, eternal, speaking animals! Sure it may be deeply industrial but those cars looks like the ones we played with as kids. Next, the clear characterization of the friends, a dumb and an extrovert is helpful to build a plot, gags and a morality.
Unfortunately, the production didn't manage to write a decent story around. As I watched the movie with my 6 years old nephews, i have got the feeling after the Japanese round to be in Transformers or Toy Story 3: guns, violence and the villain's scheme is totally beyond understanding.
A spy story is already difficult to follow but if in the same time, the bad guy wears a mask, the targeted audience is totally lost: ask my nephews about it and they can't tell what the movie is about. That's why it will disappear quickly from our memories. So producers: stop making brilliant stories and just make it simple!
