Cars 2

If your familiar with 'Cars' (not in general but the film in particular) you've already met 'Lightning McQueen' (Owen Wilson) and his friend 'Tow Mater' (Larry the Cable Guy) and their aim to become the best racing team in the world from their starting point in Radiator Springs (what a lovely name for a town!).

In this second part, their are invited by Sir Miles Axelrod (Eddie Izzard) to participate in three races on two continents, in order to promote Axelrods new 'biofuel'.

After some hesitation they accept the challenge but this time they are being involved in an international spy affair, where a member of the British Intelligence, Finn McMissile (Michael Caine) is trying to find and eliminate the opponents to this biofuel, before they succeed in sabotaging all the races in which McQueen particpates.

This was a film getting rather lukewarm reviews when it was released but we thought it rather entertaining - as a James Bond-drama starring cars. Comparing with the first film, it was quite an acceptable sequel. You will find a lot of references to different action movies and it's a film filled with the major ingredients from such films.
Listening to Michael Caine's sonorous, 'stiff upper lip'-British accent-voice of course made Aurore growl!
