Turbo (2013)


Twentieth Century Fox
Directed by David Soren
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia
(Blu-ray, Fox)

An ordinary garden snail gets sucked into a drag race car where the nitrous oxide gives him super speed. He is captured by the co-owner of a run-down taco restaurant who holds snail races in their strip mall. Turbo wipes out the competition and the restaurant owner decides to drive his taco truck from California to the Indianapolis 500. He manages to raise the entry fee and convince the race organizers to allow a snail to compete. The race comes down to the snail and his hero, a famous French racer who turns out to be a cheater. Story of an underdog snail who wins the Indy 500 may have sounded good on paper, but hindered by a predictable plot and stereotyped characters.
