Based on what I've seen of the trailers, I doubt I'll make a trip to the theaters for this one. It will likely be one for which I'll wait for the rental.

Passion is nice wherever you find it. Character is what matters, not gender or race.

I actually liked what I saw in the trailers...but i assume thats because it looks like what i expected a semi campy cartoon from a long time ago to look in updated form. Although for those of you longing for the old days can at least try to win the mach 5...or at least a retrofitted '68 convertible made to look like the mach 5...
just go here
i could see myself tooling around in that on the weekends.

Okay, before this thread this is what I knew about Tish, zip, zero, nada.
I now know that Tish is a heavily armed, black, bi-sexual, truck driving woman who likes going to the clubs.
I don't think I learned this much about Tom in six months let alone one post. - Boldido
I'm begining to like Tish more and more, that's what I know. - cable guy

I loathed the cartoon, and had no intention whatsoever of seeing this film, despite availability of free screenings, but a friend whose opinion I trust saw it, and said it's brilliant, so I'm going to see it this weekend.

I read on a message board (I don't think it was this one) where someone described this as looking like "Batman & Robin with cars", I agree with 'em 100%

Saw it. Loved it. One of those movies that make you feel like you can do anything.
Wonder if it'll make enough for a sequel?

If so, I'm just dense or something cause I never read anything stating that when I signed up.
