Christy saw this in the theaters with her friend, Christina. Since then, she's been waiting eagerly for it to come out on video so I could see it.
It's a cute film, better than I was expecting. I have to say, Chet (Paul Giamatti) was my absolute favorite character. He's just so put-upon, the one sane person surrounded by the delusional.
Theo (Ryan Reynolds) nee Turbo, is a garden snail with a big dream: to race in the Indy 500. After an accident with some NOS, Turbo gains the ability to move at lightning speed. Tito (Michael Pina), a taco truck driver, finds Turbo and decides to sponsor him in the race...with a little human help from the owners of strip mall stores, and a little snail help from Whiplash (Samuel L. Jackson) and his crew.
The background animation and the snails looked beautiful but something about the animation on the humans just didn't look right in this movie, which kept throwing me off. It's pretty funny, especially the beginning and end, but the middle starts to drag a little.
