New Movie Friday

It that time again it Friday a lot going on in and around the Detroit area to boot but if you not one of those type that always a good movie's we look what going on in the Movie theater it that time again for New Movie Friday.

and now this greatest film ever made.... For the Montent "Cars" a family comedy about Lightning McQueen, a stock car that breaks down on his way to a major race, and met some more talking cars it had it all with the voice of car by Owen Wilson,Paul Newman,Bonnie Hunt,Cheech Marin,Larry the Cable Guy,Michael Keaton,George Carlin,John Ratzenberger, and a lot of guest spot from Mario Andretti,Dale Earnhardt Jr, and Bob Costas(yes he voice a car too).

Have seen preview of this film all over on TV or the promo tie-in I can clear say that this movie is better than toy story and the the review of three agree.
The Detroit Free Press love this film useding the head lines:'Cars' runs on all cylinders and heart.and adding The first time you see "Cars," though, just sit back and enjoy the ride. It's so easy when you know someone who really knows how to drive, and loves it, is behind the wheel.(four out of Four)

The Detroit News like it as well useding the headline: Carrific, Animated wonder may feel mechanical, but it still earns a victory Lap(B+)

The Yahoo group of reviews gave the avg rating of a B
From Rolling Stone "...Family fun, brimming with surprises too good to spoil in a review." (A-)
and from Seattle Post-Intelligencer "...One of Pixar's most imaginative and thoroughly appealing movies ever."(A)
but some were iffy on the film
E! Online:"Just because it's ostensibly for kids doesn't excuse a screenplay weary with clicheƃ©s and a soundtrack dripping with cheese." (C)
