Monster Trucks (2017)
Rated PG-13
Starring Lucas Till, Jane Levy, Thomas Lennon, Barry Pepper, Rob Lowe, Danny Glover,
Directed by Chris Wedge
The Story:
When a previously undiscovered species is found while drilling for oil, the company bigwig (Lowe) decides to keep things hush hush so that he can keep drilling. Except one escapes and is discovered by Tripp (Till) who tries to help it stay one step ahead of the company that's trying to get it back. Using the creature's unique abilities, they will embark on a mission to free the other creatures that the company has captive and return them all to the wild.
Awwww...
This one is definitely geared for kids, which is always apparent when it comes from Nickelodeon Studios.
That said, at least it is entertaining enough to keep the adults entertained that decide to watch alongside their little movie watching buddies.
They've peppered (no pun intended) the film with some very familiar faces and names to up the star power, but naturally, it's Till and the creatures that provide the framework for 90% of the film.
Harmless fun for the whole family, and I'll rarely complain about that.
Final Grade: C+
