No, Speedracer, No-o!

I want to make a public service announcement for anyone out there who may want to take a kid (or even not take a kid) to the dollar theater. You may see Speed Racer and think, "It's only a buck, it's PG, and it will entertain the kids for a while". This is a huge mistake. Believe me, I just made it. I wasn't expecting it to be good at all, heck, I didn't even like the Speed Racer cartoon... but I did hope that it would be tolerable. Instead, I spend a little over TWO HOURS wishing and hoping it would end. I even asked the boys three different times if they would like to just leave, to no avail.

I won't go into a full review because, let's face it, we all knew it would be bad... but I will say two things:

1) There is no point sticking a few cuss words into a movie marketed to kids.
and
2) No one who goes through facial reconstruction surgery could possibly come out looking like Jack from Lost. I mean, come on.
