Actually a really clever film!

Rating: 10/10 (21 April 2020)

My actual rating is 7.8 but given how low the overall score, I need to give it a 10 to try and bring up the average.
Where is the "lesson" in this movie? Mater who everything thinks is an idiot and a fool, proves that even with all of his seemingly lack of social awareness redeems himself at the end.
There is also a message about being embarrassed by your friend who might be socially awkward, wanting to change him/her rather than loving them for who they are. Being accepting of others, no fight is worth losing a friendship, having the courage to take a stand even when others doubt you and accepting your imperfections (especially the ones from your friend) like the dings on the cars.
So to me, there is plenty of morals to be learned and they did it with great intricate detail to the homage of cars. The creators really went to great lengths to make sure the content was true to facts. If you know automobiles, then you are smiling when they make car references including cars which were considered lemons. Yes, the Range Rover was a lemon, just like the Hugos, Gremlins, Pacers and many others. I also loved the play on words and names they come up with. It's cute, funny and ingenious! The double entendre are just hilarious.
Is it suitable for children? My opinion is we don't give children enough credit. Why don't we let them decide and they might surprise us by actually understanding a movie with adult themes.
This movie is pretty funny and if you're a car lover like me, you will enjoy it just like the first one.
