From DreamWorks Animation (Shrek, Madagascar), a high-velocity family comedy about a garden snail who miraculously attains the power of super-speed and a shot at his impossible dream: to win the Indy 500. Voice cast includes Ryan Reynolds, Paul Giamatti, Ken Jeong, Michelle Rodriguez, Maya Rudolph, Snoop Dogg and Samuel L. Jackson.
Dreamworks takes the “I want to be a Kung Fu master – but I’m a Panda” formula and replaces it with: “I want to be a race car – but I’m a snail.” The result is a “no dream’s too big, no dreamer too small” tale that, whilst it ain’t up to Disney/Pixar standards, borrows liberally from their back catalogue. Think A Bug's Life in Cars, with bits of Ratatouille thrown in.
Full reviewThe film's considerable charm comes through via its characters and sense of humor.

Even in the absence of originality, there is fun to be had, thanks to some loopy, clever jokes.

The film's emotional beats are no less potent for being expected, thanks to the ground-level focus on the human-snail relationships that fuel them.
