Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Cars (2006)

I had the same feeling during this film as I did when I watched The Incredibles -- yeah, it's good but it's no Toy Story. It's sweet but lacking any surprise in the character development area...which, frankly, is as it should be in a movie like this.

Springfield is a Route 66 city which made me especially susceptible to the storyline of how our go-go lifestyles are destroying our physical history. That, to me, was the most affecting part of the movie. I mean, talking cars are cute, but they pale in comparison to the truth of our decaying towns starving for visitors.
