Reviewer notes
Not recommendedTrusted family reviewers**It took off reasonably well, but if we push it, it quickly stalls.** I know that this movie is a spin-off from “Cars”, but do you know? I was more curious to see this film than I am to see “Cars” (I haven't seen it yet, I will see it very soon).…
RecommendedTrusted family reviewersThere's just (and I mean just) enough there for a good time. I like <em>'Planes'</em> If I'm honest, even if it does feel like a copy of <em>'Cars 2'</em> in quite a few places; the biggest one being the race around the world. I don't love Dane Cook as Dusty either, but I can't deny that after viewing this I feel fine about it.…
