I just watched the film yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed it, although I completely did miss the fact that it shares many similarities with “Ratatouille”. Personally, I went in there just expecting it to be okay, and ended up having a great time, not because my expectations were low but because as Morgan points out, there were some really nice cultural references that I took to heart, not at all offensive. It was a lovely change to see Mexican men portrayed as loving and endearing people, vs. the macho men thug wannabes traditionally portrayed in all cinema. Though definitely not a 5 star film, I would go with a 3.5 star rating or 4, because I was the loudest 25 year old child in the cinema 😀

Just saw the movie and it was better than I expected. While its not the best Dreamworks film its also not their worst. There are a few similarities between Turbo and Ratatouille but I think Turbo had enough to make it its own thing.

But that’s just me. I am one of the rare people who likes Antz better A Bugs Life…and also thought Madagascar was better than The Wild.

Meh. To each his own right?

Well, if Morgan Stradling says to give this film a chance, I’ll give it a chance; but I’m pretty sure that I’ll be disappointed.

This movie is terrible! It try’s hard to be funny. It isn’t though. It try’s to be “hip” with its Fast and the Furious style marketing. And it has a terrible message if your to weak to compete in sports just take steroids.
