    I knew this as the “I’m walking here!” movie and now I have tears in my eyes.

    10 minutes in I thought I was gonna absolutely love this but I feel like it never matched the potential of the premise

    Girl next to me went on her phone any time anything sexual happened and then left 20 minutes before the movie ended. I truly am part of a generation of babies. 

    Anyway, rare for a movie to actually meet my stupidly high expectations, but I really enjoyed this. I think it’s fair to ask if this adaptation adds more that the others don’t have, but I think its increased emphasis on the female lead from the open of the film is enough to warrant its existence. 

    Not enough rats though. Like a quarter the amount of Herzog’s rats. And I didn’t really dig the voice.

    I am SHOCKED! SHOCKED I tell you! That this film has lukewarm reviews. You watched a goat like LIGHTNING MCQUEEN do his thing. Form lifelong friendships. Learn what racing was all about. And thought, “eh, not too great”. I am here to tell you that you are dead WRONG. This is as good as it gets and I feel sorry you can’t see that. 

    Maybe this is my nostalgia speaking, I did watch this at the premier at Charlotte Motor…
