Cars 2
Great, now that cars can talk, we're going to need to draft up another distracted driver bylaw.
Wait a minute! There are no humans in this animated movie to enforce such an edict.
Returning home after a long stint on the racing circuit, Lightning McQueen (Owen Wilson) gets reacquainted with his dim-witted tow-truck friend, Mater (Larry the Cable Guy).
But their reunion is short-lived, seeing as Lightning's been invited to the World Grand Prix.
Fortunately, he can bring a guest. Unfortunately, it's Mater, who inadvertently becomes embroiled with two spies (Michael Caine, Emily Mortimer) trying to thwart a power move by history's worst selling cars.
When it comes to the animation, all of the Pixar earmarks are present. But when it comes to the Mater-centric story, and espionage sub-plot, Cars 2 gets lost.
Besides, who wants to watch a movie where the cars all have better jobs than you do? (Yellow Light)
