Movies to see this summer: June 24th, 'Cars 2'

What it’s about:
Lightning McQueen (Owen Wilson) and Tow-Mater (Larry the Cable Guy) embark on a quest for the World Grand Prix, but Mater gets tangled up in a spy game of his own.

Why you might not be excited about it:

Some people are wary of sequels, especially if they don’t buy the story. The plot of Cars 2 may throw people off simply because it could seem like quite a jump from the first movie. Going from the story of a car learning to be selfless to a car-spy movie may be too jarring.

Larry the Cable Guy. He is probably the largest deciding factor for most people who are considering this movie. If you love Larry the Cable Guy and his redneck schtick, then you’ll probably see this movie. If, however, you cannot stand this man, or his comedy, or the very mention of him in a positive light, then you might not like the fact that this movie focuses much more on his character than the first movie did.

Why you should be excited about it:

Pixar knows what they’re doing. I’ve never known them to put out a movie that I did not at least mildly enjoy. I don’t think they would produce this film if they didn’t feel like there was a good story to be told.

The animation is going to look amazing. You know this.

Michael Caine is in it!!!

Listen, the thing is, even if you're not excited about it, this movie probably is not made for you. If you're reading this blog, you're probably not in the core demographic that this movie is hoping to please. This is not one of Pixar's higher-concept films. This movie is made for kids. Imagine being a kid and seeing these films, where the cars talk and tell jokes and go fast. It's a completely new world. Kids love that, and that's why they'll love this film. If you have kids, this will probably be a winner for you.
