Turbo
SCORE: 90
Turbo is one of the funniest movies I have
seen all year long. This little snail wants to race. He dreams of
racing, watches racing tapes, and races rotten tomatoes. The other
snails in the garden make fun of him. Even his own brother loses faith
in him. This is when something magical happens to him. He gets sucked
into a car engine and infused with nitro.
This is where Turbo takes off. He gets into snail racing, and eventually
the Indianapolis 500. There are bumps in the road, but Turbo shows
believing in yourself wins the day. Along the way he helps numerous
others. His own brother eventually comes around thanks to Turbo.
There are so many fun quotable lines in Turbo. My favorite is : “I’m
gonna pretend I didn’t hear what I clearly just heard.” The entire
family can laugh at the layers of humor in Turbo. The voice actors
deliver a fantastic effort in Turbo.
Turbo is surprisingly clean except for some animal kingdom peril, and
peril in relation to vehicles. What makes it surprising is a couple of
the voice actors in Turbo. They are not known to be clean. Turbo proves
they can work without profanity. It makes them much funnier. I hope they
continue to keep it clean going forward.
I will warn you about one thing in Turbo. You may want to go eat some
tacos after watching this film. I am very curious what is in Dos Bros
Tacos. What makes them so good? Was it based on a real world business?
If not I could see someone setting one up really soon.
Turbo is not the only one who has his dreams come true. The hispanic
brothers he meets up with have their dreams come true. The other
business owners in that strip mall also have their dreams come true. The
snail racing crew also have their dreams come true.
Turbo is ninety-six minutes long. We purchased the DVD which contains
Champion’s Corner, Team Turbo Tricked Out, Be An Artist and more as
special bonus features. I feel my money was well spent on Turbo.
