Dig Deeper into Cars

Race car Lightning McQueen gets derailed on a cross-country trip to California and finds himself stuck in Radiator Springs, a sleepy town on Route 66 that was essentially forgotten with the advent of the interstate system.

I just don't like the cars. McQueen is bland and The Cable guy... ugh.

Ditto.

You're wrong, Rorie.  Nickelback is always, ALWAYS terrible.  It's not even good the first time.  
 
Also, I might just be really weird, but I found Cars to be more entertaining than A Bug's Life.  Nonetheless, I quite liked both films.

Your right it is kinda sad that this was Paul Newman's last movie.

@ahgunsillyo: Man, beat me to the Nickelback bashing. 
Anyways, I haven't seen the first cars (aside from the first 20 minutes), and my sheer unbridled hatred for Larry the Cable guy will probably stop me from ever seeing it or its sequel.

Hey guys what's up

Couldn't have said it better, great work on the script Rorie!

Now if you don't mind I will just go and watch Up or Wall-E.

It's just a ripoff of Doc Hollywood. A predictable, shallow, cliche-ridden pile of rubbish.
 
About the only thing I enjoyed in the film was that catchy Rascal Flatts song.

I agree, shame.

This has always bee my least favorite Pixar film. Considering how the reviews for Cars 2 are, it will be second last now.

TwistedGameron June 24, 2011 at 7:47 p.m.

id rather watch Doc Hollywood.

i hated cars the first time i saw it, mostly due to the fact that my dads favorite movie was Doc Hollywood when i was growing up and I've seen it many times, i just couldn't take how blatant it was. At least Bugs Life was creative take on 7 samurai...but not this

Meatsimon June 24, 2011 at 7:49 p.m.

Seriously Larry the Cable guy? What were they thinking.

Nickedon June 24, 2011 at 8:14 p.m.

Totally with you, Rorie. People make this movie out to be horrendous, but it's really just an average animated family-film.

demontiumon June 24, 2011 at 8:14 p.m.

I liked this episode, but I still don't think cars deserved as much guff as it got.

FoxMulderon June 24, 2011 at 8:35 p.m.
I don't know about you guys.....but I really like Cars....guess I'm a minority.  I do recognize it isn't nearly as good as the rest of Pixar's films (except Bugs Life which I do not like), but I still really enjoy it overall.
NewfieBulleton June 24, 2011 at 8:56 p.m.
Definitely agree with this one.  And that hippie was George Carlin! Respect.
KJon June 24, 2011 at 9:27 p.m.

I kinda okay with "Cars" but feel nothing for "UP" and "Toy Story trilogy". Can someone analyze me? What kind of person am I?

ArbitraryWateron June 24, 2011 at 9:50 p.m.
I agree with this sentiment. Cars, for as kinda bland and pandering as it is, is not an unwatchable film. While I personally can't watch WALL-E anymore because of how saccharine and preachy it is, I'm willing to say that that's more me than the movie itself. Cars is still clearly their worst film. Unless Cars 2 is as bad as the reviews are making it out to be.
Aarnyon June 24, 2011 at 9:59 p.m.
I don't think I've seen Cars fully, and I'm okay with that.
