An unintentional comedy

Rating: 7/10 (26 June 2009)

Let's face it, this is not the sort of movie you go to if you want to see Oscar worthy acting, nor if you want an amazing plot.
You go to see this movie if you want to see good (and in many cases, better than good) CGI, eye candy, and stuff being blown up.
On that front: even critics of this movie must agree it delivers spectacularly.
But this movie comes through in an unexpected way: as a comedy. I spent the vast majority of the movie laughing. Skids and Mudflap provide excellent comic relief to anyone who can relate to twins (ignoring the racial controversy that has been brought up by people looking to be offended), the little lovers quarrels between Shia and Megan will remind anyone of their youth in a rather humorous way, and the mom has some genuinely funny moments.
