The wife and I went to see it tonight.

Overall, not a bad movie. They brought back the 3,451 speed transmissions, gotta get me one. As a gear head and having a basic understanding a physic's, there is a lot of stuff you pick up on that just makes you laugh.

I would recommend it. It is a good watch.

I have not liked them since the first one, It is a far fetched ricer style, half *** plotted movie from the start, not to mention the 20 that have followed.. It has no actual real racer style feel to me( yah I know its a movie) but feel that it could have been done a bit better, X the stupid *** dubbed in sounds.. Just not a tasteful movie IMO, to far fetched.. But hey if you liked it that is all that counts. I would prefer to watch reruns of 3's company

You have to just shut your brain off and watch it for what it is, ENTERTAINMENT. It beats watching barbie movies with the girls.

My wife likes watching it for the old cars and as she says, "CUTE" guys. I think I might need to take her in to get her eyes checked again.

When we left I told her how it started a new movement in car culture that was very negative. It has led to many deaths, increase in STUPID street racing, and a general annoyance for those of us that real get out and work on our vehicles.

The only reason I went to go see it, it was playing in our local theater. It is a block from my office, $4.50 a person, and at the later showings it is only older people, mostly married couples out for a date night like my wife and I.

Because of this movie, and our area, I will have to avoid the areas with theaters on weekend nights. Not only will the cops be crawling for the first few weeks the movie is out, the ricer's will be acting stupid causing all sorts of problems after watching it.

IMO there is nothing in that movie that is entertaining other then watching a bunch of over paid people make a far fetched movie.. But hey that is just me, if you liked it that is all that matters..

I got the bottle filled and waited patiently in the parking lots for kids that just realized Mom's Accord is the hottest **** out there. Sadly the bottle is still full. The little 4.3 had enough. Weaksauce.

It was overall a pretty good movie beside the 27 gears and half throttle thru the races then they floor it then floor it again and again till the god Dam pedal is on road lol. I would recommend it
