Cars 2

A race car and his friend go overseas for a championship, but espionage interferes.

Trailer

Why watch this film?

After an extremely controversial movie around, the 'Cars' franchise takes on shamelessly commercial contours with the second feature film. Here, we lose the delicious dynamic between Lightning McQueen in the country town when the racing car, alongside Mate, go to a world championship in Japan. Director John Lasseter (of 'Toy Story') loses this dynamic of the first movie and exaggerates the dose of humor with Mate -- which really only works as a sidekick, not as a pumped-up protagonist. The very young may find some amusement in somewhat mismatched jokes. However, 'Cars 2' is one of the most forgettable Disney-Pixar films.
