Just saw VIP showing of TOO RICE TOO REDICULOUS... Go watch Finding Nemo instead

MAAAAAANNNNNNN I just went and watched a VIP showing held by our local Mitsu. Man just when you thought acting couldn't get any worse...... My suggestion is to go see a different movie.... the only thing worth seeing in this movie is Eva Mendes i'd pay to see that any day. If you going for any other reason, I hear Finding Nemo was good..... LOL

F**KIN' HOLLYWOOD HAD TO GO RUIN STREET RACING

Having known what really goes on at street races... this movie scores a generous 3 out of 10

P.S. Excuse the misspells it's 3am

if you went to the movie expecting JDM road drifters and 1000hp 10 sec cars, then you'll be highly disappointed...

if you go to the movies for entertainment, you gotta say Tyrese was the comic relief... he was great... even though paul walker can't act for sh*t

if you're into the import scene and have friday nite available, it's worth seeing... it's a MOVIE... not real life....

Oh come on, what did you expect? 2F2F was much like FF and no worse than any other "car" movie with a few notable exeptions. I enjoyed because I suspended judgement and disbelief.... It's no worse than the vast majority of TV shows or action movies... Totally made-up preposterous stuff. It's just for fun..... Lots of flashy colors & lights, lots of noise, a few adrenalyn producing footing, some pretty girls....Hey, what do you want for free???

Did you see any EVOs nearby?

So I go to test drive a red Evo at the same dealership I pulled my deposit on for trying to price gouge me... they had one sitting out, I was feeling naughty... so I'm talking with the salesman... there are 2F2F posters and marquees up EVERYWHERE... they even had an eclipse that was decked out to look like the one in the movie (only mostly mitsi parts and no graphics). So I'm telling the salesman just how much the Fast and Furious connection has killed my interest in the evo and how I'm trying really hard to appreciate the car for what it is, not what others see it as... just like the Integra Type R its a wonderful vehicle if you can look past the FF image.

So he nods and we both talk about rally herritage and Tommi's WRC heydays in the Evo 5 and 6... and I start the car. The radio comes on to a local alternative channel and playing on that radio is a 2F2F commercial followed by a Mitsibishi Evo plug, followed by the theme song to 2F2F.

We sat there speachless for about one minute then started busting out laughing. The salesman turned off the radio and I took my test drive.

You know I used to make fun of that carbon fiber wing... but after seeing the STi in person and being able to flex the rear wing with only light pressure from my hand the Evo's wing seems more and more reasonable.

My wife test drove the Evo as well after I did. She said it was nice and relaxed compaired to our car.. just much faster when the loud pedal is pushed. We kill ourselves driving a race prepped Mazdaspeed Protege around town... so the evo felt like a freak'n towncar to us.

I saw the movie last night as well. Heh. I bought a $30k car and got to see a movie for free!

Overall, if you just turn off your brain and enjoy the cars and girls and comedy relief provided by "Baby Boy," it's quite entertaining. I knew what to expect, so I was able to completely enjoy myself. I don't need to see a movie with a message every time I go to the theatre, so I was more than happy with this film. The only thing I didn't like was getting patted down by the Universal Pictures security guards. Oh well.

You couldn't be more right...

Even last night when I was watching the MTV movie awards, he freaking couldnt even read the screen without sounding like he's reading a screen. He was totally monotone while Tyrese was trying to crack some jokes too. One sentence and he cant do it right!! What a dud...

entertainment HAHAH

Bad acting is not entertainment, it's annoying it's like having a conversation with someone who's illiterate and believe me I expected this movie to suck before I went in, but I didn't think it would be as bad as the first one I mean if your going to make a sequel try and atleast make it better then the first.

I have my free ticket or else I would not even go. I think Paul Walker can not act at all except in Joy Ride I think that was good.
