Review of Monster Trucks (2016) by Robert R — 28 Jan 2017

This was WAY more entertaining than I was expecting. Yes, it definitely has its problems (awful main character, wooden acting) but what it set out to do - entertain little children - it does extremely well.

My kids LOVED it! I mean, c'mon - it has monsters AND trucks... combined. How could kids NOT enjoy that? (It has the guy who played Lt. Dangles from Reno 911; he gets some big laughs. Also, it has the single funniest use of the Wilhelm scream that I've ever seen.

I was rolling!) This movie is a great example of critics missing the mark. It's a shame that many of them lack the empathy it takes to understand how a movie's actual target audience would view a film.
