Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Sabah Hensley This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
cattea-48897 This movie is hilarious. I don't understand all the hate for it. Sure, everything about the movie kind of sucks, but that's what makes it great. It's a great movie to watch with friends and I honestly liked it. The animation is hilarious as well as the voice acting, and well, pretty much just everything else. There was so much about this that I found entertaining, and come on, it's a knockoff Cars. You can't exactly have high expectations anyway.
Thanos Pagkidis I just can't believe that one of my Favorite movies had a "Rip-off" like THIS! Now I must just think that these movies are worse than The Food Fight one. It just troubles my mind of how these Directors' minds work to make such bad animated films that the story makes no sense at ALL, has such terrible Voice Acting (How can I even call "THAT" voice acting?), and being just horrible, HORRIBLE at every damn Thing in these movies. I might as well kill my-self as I have time. In short, these movies suck, suck, SUCK! I just can't find a better way to describe this. OK, Rip-off Directors, you suck, you will never be successful (well, except the Food Fight Director that got 10.000.000 dollars). The End
Robert Ivey That, pretty much, is what one of the main characters of this atrocity sounds like, in text form. I can't say this movie is the absolute worst thing I've ever seen. I even laughed a few times from its sheer stupidity, making it range into the "So bad it's good" category, but it still sucks, which is why I'm giving it a 3 out of 10 instead of, I dunno, a 7. It has all these characters, who are all cars. Now, where in the world did I hear that idea before? It also takes place in the desert. Oh my God! Where could that have been spawned from? It also features a car who learns his lesson at the end. Jesus Christ! I know this came from somewhere! That's right, it's a shameless ripoff of "Cars", which is one of my favorite movies of all time. This is upon a series of crappy animated flicks that are complete ripoffs of other, more superior flicks, and don't even try to hide it. It features the same general character idea, the same settings, the same plot idea. I will eventually review Ratatoing, Kis Vuk, and others of the kind, if I can get a copy of it.
TheLittleSongbird Maybe not quite the worst animated movie ever and it is marginally better than Spider's Web: A Pig's Tale(haven't seen Plan Bee yet, have heard it's worse). But that's saying little, because A Car's Life is a terrible movie and not in an awesome way either. The animation is badly-slapped-together quality, with colours the very opposite of rich, static backgrounds and choppy editing, and the music is forgettable at best and can be over-bearing. The story is predictable but that actually wasn't the real problem, to be honest a lot of movies animated or not are. The problem was that what there was of the story felt very rushed pacing-wise but had very little to it from a narrative perspective, there are a few overlong irrelevant scenes like a car spending a minute doing nothing but screaming and circling round, something that is far more appropriate when on a roller-coaster or theme park ride. The characters are unappealing in every sense.Their personalities are as flat as cardboard but they behave in a way that is irritating and in the case of the villain overly-creepy way, the main character is mistake-prone and never learns from them. The voice acting is even worse, most of the cast are wooden but Speedy's voice provided by Denise Finelli is like the sharpest nails on the squeakiest blackboard- in short incredibly annoying and grating. There are not many characters that you wish serious harm to, mainly because it is a notion you never ideally want to feel, but Speedy is certainly one of them and very high up on the list. The writing was the biggest failure, mainly because it doesn't seem to know at all who it's aiming at. The humour is even crasser and more juvenile than what you'd find in the output of Video Brinquedo(similar quality to what's seen here and Spider's Web but comparatively tamer), which indicates that providing that it doesn't go over their head only children would moderately enjoy.But much of A Car's Life is very adult in tone(initially there's nothing wrong with that, there are animated movies that do take a daring turn and succeed primarily Watership Down, Felidae and The Hunchback of Notre Dame) but even they don't make their violent content, characterisations and messaging(very forced, hardly any lessons to be learnt actually either) verging on sadistic and in a way that would traumatise anybody who's watching. There are exchanges between characters also that have degrees of inappropriateness, at one point child abuse is mentioned and people will be like how is being told to take a bath child abuse and since when has it? And before accusations start rolling in, as much as this sounds like an overly-sensitive parent I am a childless animation-loving music student who's all for taking risks providing they're done well, done well they're not here and come to think of it cigarette-smoking lead characters and characters talking about death doesn't really count as risk-taking.All in all, terrible and won't provide entertainment value in any way, you won't feel any thrills but you will be creeped out. Even the Little Cars movies were better than A Car's Life, and they're awful too. 1/10(would be 0 but despite the negative tone I'm feeling generous today after being blown away by the Met production of Rusalka last night).
